A logo hangs on the building of the Beijing branch of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) on December 4, 2020 in Beijing, China. China's largest chipmaker SMIC is now the world's third-largest foundry in terms of revenue in the first quarter, according to Counterpoint Research. State-backed SMIC, or Semiconductor Manufacturing International Co. , held a market share of 6% in the first quarter— up from 5% last year, the report showed. This places SMIC behind only Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and South Korea's Samsung Foundry which held 62% and 13% of market share in the first quarter respectively. 3 position in foundry revenue market share in Q1 2024 for the first time, as demand recovery begins in China, including CIS, PMIC, IoT, and DDIC applications," showed the Counterpoint Research report published Wednesday.

☆ The Taiwan earthquake is a stark reminder of the risks to the region’s chipmaking industry
  + stars: | 2024-04-03 | by ( Clare Duffy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Chipmakers and governments, including the US government, have in recent years invested billions in efforts to diversify chip production, but many experts worry that process is not happening fast enough. TSMC produces an estimated 90% of the world’s most advanced semiconductor chips, which power countless devices people rely on daily. Still, even an hours-long shutdown of certain chip production could take weeks to recover from. The race to diversify chipmakingWednesday’s earthquake will likely only add pressure to efforts underway for years to grow chipmaking capacity outside of Taiwan. Experts say it’s a sign that the diversification of the chip supply chain is not moving quickly enough to account for the risks of remaining concentrated in Taiwan.

The logo of United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) is seen at the company’s lobby at Hsinchu Science Park in Hsinchu, Taiwan, September 16, 2022. The semiconductor industry has come under pressure as global economic woes dent demand for chips used in everything from tablets to cellphones and cars. In an earnings release, UMC (2303.TW) co-President Jason Wang said it expected demand to gradually stabilise in the last three months of the year. "For the fourth quarter, with the recent rush orders from PC and smartphones, we expect demand has gradually stabilised," he said. However, the company kept its guidance for capital spending this year at $3 billion, compared with $2.7 billion for last year.

☆ Bank of America is doubling down on a lesser-known chip stock — and gives it 50% upside
  + stars: | 2023-04-19 | by ( Zavier Ong | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Nvidia has undoubtedly been one of the sector's biggest winners this year, but Bank of America is doubling down on a lesser-known chip stock. That's significantly higher than the average potential upside of 16.1% given by analysts covering the stock, according to FactSet data. Bank of America described the firm as a "top pick" among European auto semiconductors and said the stock remains cheaper than its peers. The bank said it believes concerns about the company's poor track record and high Apple concentration are "likely to fade over the course of the next 12-18 months" as it improves gross margins and operating margins. Apple's share of the firm's revenue is also likely to drop to around 10% by end-2024, the bank added.
