JSR's market capitalisation was 677 billion yen ($4.71 billion) at Friday's market close. JIC would spend about 1 trillion yen on the acquisition, the Nikkei newspaper reported, injecting 500 billion yen into a new company to make the purchase and borrowing 400 billion yen from Mizuho Bank. JSR is a top supplier of photoresists, which are light-sensitive chemicals used to print patterns on wafers, to global chipmakers. JSR, which was set up in 1957 as a government-backed producer of synthetic rubber, reported a 20% jump in sales to 408.9 billion yen in the year ended March, while operating profit declined 33% to 29.4 billion yen. Shares in JSR, which unusually for a Japanese company has a foreign-born CEO, have gained 25% year-to-date.

Below are investments in Japan announced by chipmakers and measures the government is taking to revive its semiconductor industry. Sony Group (6758.T) and auto parts maker Denso (6902.T), which will use the chips TSMC makes, are also investors. It said it would be the first chipmaker to bring EUV technology to Japan for production. It has offered TSMC a 476 billion yen subsidy, or about half the expected cost of the factory. Rapidus secured an initial 70 billion yen of funding from the government, and local media reported in April that the government was finalising a plan to provide an additional 300 billion yen.

Since joining investment management firm in 2000, Allen's worked his way up the corporate ladder, taking the helm as portfolio manager of the T. Rowe Price Science & Technology (PRSCX) fund in 2009. In the wake of the latest artificial intelligence boom that's driven up last year's beaten-up technology stocks, it's skyrocketed nearly 38% in 2023. Longer-term, the fund, with a 0.84% expense ratio, offers 10- and 15-year trailing returns of more than 16% and about 13%, respectively. This year, Allen has benefited from a spectacular run-up in technology stocks, fueled by a mania for all things tied to artificial intelligence. "It's really important to learn over time when things go well and especially when things don't go well," Allen said.

But all the deals and pomp of the visit — including an address to Congress and a lavish state dinner — may not have accomplished what the White House had wanted. U.S. leaders gave Modi a hearty welcome, as Washington seeks to nudge India further into the American sphere of influence. “The partnership is among the most consequential in the world,” Biden said at a news conference on Thursday. Biden and Modi largely brushed off criticism of the Indian government’s crackdown on human rights and religious freedom. And Modi made no pledges to endorse U.S. efforts to restrain China, nor to cut ties to Russia.

June 24 (Reuters) - State-backed Japan Investment Corp is in talks to buy the country's top chipmaker, JSR Corp (4185.T), for about 1 trillion yen ($6.96 billion), the Nikkei reported on Saturday. If the deal goes through, JSR would delist from the Tokyo Stock Exchange as soon as 2024, according to Nikkei. To purchase JSR, JIC intends to establish a new company with 500 billion yen in capital, while Mizuho Bank will provide another 400 billion yen in finance. The fund plans to raise 100 billion yen via preferred shares and subordinated loans underwritten by various banks, according to Nikkei. The deal would grant JSR, with its significant 30% share of the global photoresist market, greater freedom for expansion, without being constrained by worries about stock market performance, Nikkei said.

Nvidia reigns as the dominant artificial intelligence play, but investors may also want to keep an eye on networking chip stocks Marvell Technology and Broadcom , according to Bank of America. Networking semiconductors play a critical role in the graphics processing units underpinning many generative AI models, and these names should benefit from long-term demand for their Ethernet networking offerings, according to senior analyst Vivek Arya. Still, Arya labeled Nvidia as the best-positioned name. But all three stocks have gained this year as AI gains steam as an investment theme, with Nvidia soaring more than 195%. Broadcom and Marvell have added about 50% and 59%, respectively.

June 21 (Reuters) - Intel (INTC.O) said on Wednesday it would sell one-fifth of its stake in IMS Nanofabrication to private equity firm Bain Capital in a deal valuing the Austrian producer of chipmaking tools at about $4.3 billion. Intel's stake sale of 20% was valued at $860 million, according to Reuters calculations. IMS, which was acquired by Intel in 2015, makes equipment that are critical for companies that make chips. It has delivered a significant return on investment to Intel while growing its workforce and production capacity by four times, Intel said. Bain Capital's investment in IMS will put it in a position to capture significant market share for its tools that are being widely adopted by chipmakers, Intel said.

SEOUL, June 12 (Reuters) - South Korean prosecutors said they indicted a former Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) executive on Monday on suspicion of stealing the company's technology to build a chip factory in China. He worked a combined 28 years at the South Korean chipmakers, prosecutors said. The attempt to build the new plant using Samsung data, however, ended in failure due to funding issues, a prosecutor said. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has described competition in the industry as an "all-out war" amid heightened Sino-U.S. tensions. South Korea's Samsung and SK Hynix, the world's top two makers of memory chips, have invested billions of dollars in chip factories in China.

June 11 (Reuters) - Germany's Finance Minister Christian Lindner is refusing Intel's (INTC.O) demands for higher subsidies for a 17-billion-euro ($18-billion) chip plant, saying the country could not afford it, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. "There is no more money available in the budget," the newspaper quoted Lindner as saying in an interview. The company was due to receive 6.8 billion euros in government support for its fabrication plant in Germany. However, due to higher energy and construction costs, it is now demanding about 10 billion euros, the newspaper reported.

SEOUL, June 8 (Reuters) - South Korea pledged support for its chip sector on Thursday, with President Yoon Suk Yeol describing competition in the industry as an "all-out war" amid heightened Sino-U.S. tension. The government plans to help expand research and development, bolster smaller players, strengthen legal protection for chip technology and set up a chip testing facility, the industry ministry said in a statement. South Korea has sought to avoid becoming embroiled in a tit-for-tat row between China and the United States over semiconductors. On one hand, chipmakers Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (005930.KS) and SK Hynix Inc (000660.KS) depend on U.S. technology and equipment. At the same time, about 40% of South Korea's chip exports go to China, trade ministry data showed.

TAIPEI, June 6 (Reuters) - Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC (2330.TW) is feeling "good" about talks over a possible first European factory in Germany and is discussing subsidies with the host country's government, the company's chairman said on Tuesday. TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, has been in talks with the German state of Saxony since 2021 about building a fabrication plant, or "fab," in Dresden. Speaking at the company's annual shareholders meeting, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's Chairman Mark Liu said the company had already sent executives to Germany a few times for talks on the possible new plant. "So far the feeling is good," he said, adding there were some "gaps" in the supply chain and labour in Germany but these were being addressed. "We are still negotiating with Germany on subsidies, how much the subsidies will be, that there won't be conditions for the support.

It was the compromise debt limit deal — not the employment number — that caused the market to rally. The shorts were correct to press their bets if there was no debt deal and we got an employment number that was a steamer. A short squeeze happens when short sellers having to buy stocks to cover their short positions, pushing prices higher. I say no, no more than you needed in 2011, when the debt ceiling deal led to a fantastic rally because Armageddon was avoided.

Wall Street is again abuzz over artificial intelligence ever since chipmaker Nvidia reported blowout earnings last week. Analysts who've been very optimistic about the stock believe that like Nvidia, AMD has the potential to ride the AI wave . One bright spot is that AMD is pulling market share away from Intel , Ross said. However, that area of AI is currently cornered by Nvidia, which has around 75% market share, according to BofA. But BofA still retained its neutral rating for AMD, as it believes that gaining market share against Nvidia could prove tougher than expected.
