Chip Rally Looks Stretched as Focus Shifts to MSFT, AMZN, GOOGL

Semiconductor stocks like TSMC (TSM), Micron (MU), and Intel (INTC) are surging, but Morningstar's Philip Straehl warns the trade looks overextended.

Straehl also sees value in beaten-down software, payments, and broader industrials as investors look beyond the crowded chip trade.
