Earnings Scheduled For February 10, 2025

The M5 chip, which is projected to power Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) upcoming MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro, has reportedly entered mass production.
What Happened: The M5 chip is now being produced at scale, with Apple reportedly utilizing new process technology to boost AI performance, according to a <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/05/m5-chip-enters-mass-production-ready-for-macbook-pro-ipad-pro-vision-pro/">report</a> by 9to5Mac.
The new chip is anticipated to deliver enhanced AI performance and possibly a redesigned structure compared to earlier M-series chips. The Vision Pro is expected to benefit the most from the M5 chip, especially with the addition of Apple Intelligence features to the spatial computer—something the current M2-powered model lacks.
The new chip is also designed to run at lower temperatures, enabling it to maintain full power for longer durations before thermal throttling takes effect.
MacRumors reported that Apple delegates the front-end manufacturing stage of chip production on silicon wafers to Taiwan Semiconductors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>). With fabrication in progress, OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) companies, such as Taiwan&#8217;s ASE Group, Amkor Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMKR#NASDAQ">AMKR</a>) from the U.S. and China&#8217;s JCET manage the packaging process.

Why It Matters: Despite&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43424187/apples-struggles-in-ai-and-ar-indicate-a-loss-in-product-edge">struggles in AI and AR</a>&nbsp;indicating a potential decline in product innovation, the introduction of the M5 chip could be a game-changer for Apple. The&nbsp;chip is expected to bring&nbsp;significant improvements in AI performance, which has been a challenge for the tech giant.
Last year, Ming-Chi Kuo reported that the MacBook Pro could see a major power boost with a new chip packaging process. The M5 Pro chip may take a different approach by separating the CPU and GPU to improve performance and increase production yields.
The M5 chip is also expected to leverage the improved 3nm N3P architecture, leading to efficiency improvements by up to 10% and a performance bump of 5%, &nbsp;according to&nbsp;Wccftech. This could help resolve the thermal throttling issue, enabling devices to run at full power for longer periods.
With the M5 chip, Apple seems to be prioritizing its tablet family, with the updated iPad Pro series expected to be the first recipient of the new chip. This move could potentially boost the performance and appeal of Apple&#8217;s tablet lineup.

Shares of semiconductor companies are trading lower amid AI competition concerns from China's DeepSeek AI model.

Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMKR#NASDAQ">AMKR</a>), a leading provider of semiconductor packaging and test services, announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a 5% increase in the company's quarterly cash dividend, from $0.07875 per share to $0.08269 per share, on the company's common stock. The Board has also approved the payment of an approximately $100 million special cash dividend, or $0.40546 per share, on the company's common stock.

Amkor Technology Increases Quarterly Dividend From $0.07875 To $0.08269 Per Share

Amkor Tech's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMKR#NYSE">AMKR</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.75% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.97 million shares sold short, which is 3.68% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.37 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Amkor Tech Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730394015_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Amkor Tech has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Amkor Tech's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Amkor Tech's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.97%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
