Outlook for semiconductor equipment industry improving, spending growth expected, Gartner says 6/15/2009

Gartner reports that 2009 will see further declines in capital spending, but a return to growth is predicted for 2010 that will continue into 2011 and 2012. An analyst recommends that for the next few quarters, equipment suppliers focus on quarter-to-quarter growth and "let the annual numbers fall where they may."
