The Semiconductor Customer Concentration Trap
2 filers across 1 sector are noting disclosed risk. First surfaced in 2025Q2; tracked through 2026Q2. Almost entirely a risk story (100%). Present-tense — companies describing what is happening now. Recent filings describe "Direct sales to one customer, which is a distributor, accounted for 29% of our net revenue." Still gaining momentum.
Leading semiconductor suppliers acknowledge that a small number of direct and indirect customers account for 30-40% of revenue, and expect this high concentration to persist, creating revenue stability risk for the industry.
