Lead times — or the time it takes between placing an order and it being fulfilled — for the industry contracted for the ninth month in a row, another indication that we are exiting the pandemic-triggered chip shortage of about two years, reports Susquehanna Financial analyst Christopher Rolland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Overall LTs are now approximately four weeks below record highs set in May,” Rolland said, adding that while lead times for broad-based suppliers like Microchip, Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) and NXP Semiconductors NV (NXPI) “are coming down fast,” those for STMicroelectronics NV (STMPA.FR), Infineon Technologies AG , and ON Semiconductor Corp. (ON) are “more stable.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rolland suggested an early exit from the inventory glut situation by reporting \u201cthe acute portion of the semiconductor downcycle for the handset, PC and consumer end markets has passed”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
