Data storage segments are key growth drivers for big-cap tech companies like Amazon, which posts quarterly results later this week. Legacy hardware firm Dell's roughly $67 billion acquisition of cloud computing company EMC shows the strong demand for growing storage businesses, Ng said.

He contended semiconductor firms could struggle in this earnings cycle. The sector has seen record consolidation amid sales sluggishness and sagging stock prices.
