What this transaction means for investors

Hood River sold most of its Tower Semiconductor shares, which had a monster run last year. The stock traded at a lower valuation a year ago but has been re-rated for the growth opportunity in the company’s silicon germanium and silicon photonics advanced platforms.

Tower posted solid financial results last year, driven by strong demand for its power management and image-sensing products. But the market is assigning a much higher valuation to the stock than it was a year ago. Hood River likes to buy stocks of companies with above-average earnings growth prospects and attractive valuations.

Tower is well-positioned for long-term growth, serving an increasingly valuable role in supply key technologies for physical artificial intelligence (AI) products. But there could be more attractively priced growth stocks that Hood River likes right now.
