Advanced Forecasting To Issue Warning for 2H-06 at Semiconductor Forecast Seminar

Saratoga, California – April 17, 2006 –  A warning regarding semiconductor shipments for the second half of 2006 will be issued by Advanced Forecasting during their annual Forecast Seminar on July 10, 2006 at Semicon West in San Francisco, CA. The semiconductor forecasting firm will also share a mid-year update of its forecasts for semiconductor materials and equipment-components, wafer sales, and several forecasts from its new portfolio of forecasts for specific semiconductor equipment segments, e.g., mask and reticle, fab facilities, wafer processing, expose and write, resist processing, etch, surface conditioning, thermal processing, ion implant, CVD, sputter, other deposition, inspection and measurement, CMP, total test, SOC and logic test, test related, and assembly and packaging.  

 

“Our long-term forecast, which has accurately predicted each of the turning points in the industry over the last 20 years, has been predicting a possible situation in the second half which warrants an alert,” said Rosa Luis, Director of Marketing and Sales for Advanced Forecasting. “While our clients have been aware of this information for at least a year, we will be publicly disclosing it at our forecast seminar.” 

 

“Those attending the seminar will also learn a few of the techniques we utilize in our predictions and how to implement them in their own companies,” continued Luis. “In addition, the forecasts of specific semiconductor equipment segments, that we will launch in May, will provide an additional forecasting tool for predicting a company’s sales as they can be customized for immediate implementation at the product specific level.”

 

Known for its unique non-survey-based methodology and accurate view of changes in direction, the quantitative-based forecasting firm will discuss implementation of forecasts into decision-making process from the corporate level to the product line level, as well as how to identify and predict the peaks and valleys in a company’s sales of products or within divisions.
