What counts as a Semiconductor stock?

The chipmakers and the equipment companies that build the fabs — designers, foundries, memory, analog and the lithography and etch toolmakers behind them. One of the most-searched groups in the market, and one no broad sector page isolates. Membership is curated and hand-maintained: a company earns the tag when the theme is a material driver of its business — either a pure-play, or a larger company for which the theme is a named, reported growth engine. Tangential exposure doesn't qualify. The names below are those in our US universe, ranked by score.

How are the best Semiconductor stocks ranked?

Each name is scored on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — one 0–100 score blending business quality, growth, and valuation — the same score used everywhere on the site. The table ranks them highest first.

How often is the ranking updated?

The universe is re-scored every trading day after the US market close, so the ranking reflects the latest fundamentals and prices.

Best Semiconductor stocks.

The theme: The chipmakers and the equipment companies that build the fabs — designers, foundries, memory, analog and the lithography and etch toolmakers behind them. One of the most-searched groups in the market, and one no broad sector page isolates.

How this ranking works

Standard classifications describe what a company files as, not what it's a bet on. This is a curated list of the Semiconductors names in our US universe: the pure-plays, plus the larger companies for which Semiconductors is a real, reported driver rather than a passing mention. Each carries the same 0–100 quality-growth score used everywhere on the site (how it's built), and re-scores every trading day.

The 22 members report under 2 different industries, which is exactly why no standard sector view groups them:

What kind of businesses these are

Average pillar scores across the 22 scored members, against every stock the model scores:

Pillar	Semiconductors	Market	Read
Quality	72.9	56.0	16.9 above
Growth	76.6	61.7	14.9 above
Value	42.8	44.1	in line

Pillars run 0–100 against sector peers. A low Value reading means the group is expensive relative to what it earns, not that the businesses are weak — for an early-stage theme that is the normal shape.

Scores across the group run from NVDA at 86.0 down to SWKS at 28.3, with a median of 60.4. A theme is a thesis, not a quality filter — membership says a company is exposed to Semiconductors, and the score says what the model makes of the business.
