OEMs Experience Continuing Growth
Bishop & Associates takes a closer look at OEM sales results and the business outlook.
OEMs Experience Continuing Growth
Bishop & Associates tracks sales and profits of 13 market sectors and more than 120 companies. The objectives are to determine how selected electronic markets have performed, identify sales and profit trends for forecasting purposes, and monitor company performance within market sectors.
Due to late reporting of several OEMs after the close of 3Q17, we were not able to report 3Q17 results until now. Below is the 3Q17 results summary.
The following table provides the 2015/2016 percent change in revenues, and the first three quarters 2017 versus the first three quarters 2016 sales and percent change in sales by market sector.
Sales Performance – Percent Change
Of the 13 market sectors Bishop tracks, 12 had year-over-year growth in the first three quarters of 2017 versus the first three quarters of 2016. Semiconductors experienced the most significant growth at 27.8%. Transportation was the only market sector to decline in the first three quarters, decreasing 3.6%.
As a note: This database is not static. Companies are acquired or go into bankruptcy; thus, their financial data is no longer available, and they are removed from the database. These types of activities occurred frequently in 2009 and 2010, and because of this, as well as additions we have made to the database, it is not possible to directly compare current numbers to numbers referenced in past Bishop “How’s Business? OEMs.” These analyses are meant to be used as a relative measure of market sector performance.
