THUMBS UP FOR CHIP STOCKS

Wall Street gave chip stocks a thumbs-up on Sept. 24 after Micron Technology reported higher DRAM prices and Montgomery Securities issued a buy signal for Texas Instruments. TI stock jumped 10%, to 57 1/2. The gain is justified by new products, and most analysts say the industry has bottomed out. But In-Stat analyst Alan Niebel says chipmaker revenues in 1997 won't quite match '95 levels. DRAM sales won't bounce back until 1998, says Robertson Stephens' Daniel Klesken.
