Chip equipment stocks ($SOX) checked in with hefty gains as the Semicon trade show kicked off in San Francisco and San Jose on Monday. SG Cowen said it expects "cautious" optimism at the gathering, with a modest order improvement anticipated among the equipment makers in the second half of 2003, which should lead to a strong recovery in 2004. Cowen advises investors to buy on dips and said Novellus Systems (NVLS) could reveal upside to its orders estimates when it reports financial results next week. Novellus climbed 5 percent and group leader Applied Materials charged higher, with a gain of 4 percent.
