AEM (SGX: AWX) share price to hit $6?
In February 2021, US President Joe Biden signed an executive order to address a global semiconductor shortage. The recent explosive demand for chips arises because of supply chain disruption caused by pandemic. The shortage has resulted in serious production bottlenecks in US automobile industry. To add fuel to fire, the US-China trade saw companies like Apple and Sony hoarding chips for their electronic products. In view of this massive demand for computer chips, would AEM (AWX) share price rise to smash past $6?
The global shortage of semiconductors takes place at a time when US policymakers are about to unleash another stimulus package, estimated at a whopping US$1.9 trillion. Based on historical trends, the stimulus is expected to lead to another bull run in the stock market. So I am of the view that AEM (AWX) share price should enjoy another splendid run in the coming weeks.

The meteoric rise of AEM (SGX) share price has led to investors hailing AEM as the “King of Technology Stocks” and inevitably drew comparisons between Executive Chairman Loke Wai San and CEO of Creative Technology, Sim Woo Hoo. Both are considered as heroes of our generation as they have made Singaporeans proud by producing world-class commercial products. But then again, there are striking differences that investors must take note.
Sim Woo Hoo is the co-founder of Creative Technology. In the vein of most entrepreneurs, he will surely fight to the end to make sure Creative Technology sustain in the future. The 2006’s epic clash of Creative Technology against US giant, Apple, is a classic example. On the other hand, Loke Wai San is a venture capitalist who rescued AEM from the brink of collapse in 2011 when the former management was embroiled in corruption charges. As a typical venture capitalist, Loke Wai San will definitely have an exit strategy, but only after he fully unlocked the value of AEM (AWX) share price.

Fascinating Analysis!
The three questions I still have, are:
1. Do they have a robust “moat” i.e. do they have patents or proprietary know-how?
2.Customer concentration: is this an issue`
3.Is the recent acquisition a good strategic fit? Does it strengthen their “moat”?
