This morning, IBM announced its earnings report, and its stock price is currently up 8% before the market opens. It ranks 6th in terms of popularity and is expected to continue to boost chip stocks.

Recently, semiconductor stocks have been soaring, and the catalyst timeline for stock price increases is as follows:

First, from January 9th to 12th, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), NVIDIA and AMD announced new chips, leading to consecutive increases in their stock prices. Secondly, on January 16th, AMD was collectively favored by analysts and rose by 8%.

On January 18th, TSMC announced its earnings report, showing the overall recovery of the semiconductor industry, and its stock price rose by nearly 10%, once again boosting chip stocks.

Last night, ASML, the leading lithography machine company, rose by 9% after releasing its earnings report, once again driving AMD and NVIDIA to reach new highs.

Tonight, IBM's stock price is up 8% before the market opens. Can it once again drive chip stocks?

It is worth mentioning that Tesla's earnings report fell short of expectations, and its stock price fell by more than 8% before the market opened. It ranks first on the WSB popularity list.
