WaferNEWS Watch: Best of 2010
In a banner year for semiconductor makers and the suppliers who sell chipmaking tools, industry stocks generally did pretty well, up ~22% on average for our WaferNEWS Fab 50 list. Congrats to AXT, which climbed more than 200% for the year; kudos also to Axcelis, which more than doubled its stock in the past year. Heading the other direction were Tegal (languishing most of the year in the $0.50 range) and FormFactor (whose problems and possible solutions have been the subject of speculation).
