I was on a call with our Future Electronics reps yesterday and they more or less said the same. Every CM is booked to capacity as well. They said it's a combination of stopping production for almost 3 months and then an explosion of latent demand for consumer devices + WFH demand.

Btw, another interesting ramification of both the trade war with China and the travel restrictions is that a lot of low/mid scale electronic manufacturing is being moved to Mexico.

That's a first I have seen manufacturers moving to a country with similar wage levels. Last I heard, wasn't a lot of manufacturing shifting to Vietnam, Malaysia and to some extent, India?
