Market outlook diverges: Samsung accelerates US expansion despite yield risks. Rising memory costs slow SMIC and Nexchip, while AI orders boost HuaHong. GlobalFoundries significantly increases capex for localization in US and EU.
Key Highlights
- Samsung: Accelerating US expansion for advanced nodes; client yield remains a bottleneck.
- SMIC: Growth slowing due to consumer demand headwinds; expansion pace moderating.
- HuaHong: Outperforming peers driven by AI and high-end MCU demand; capex peak passed.
- Nexchip: High consumer exposure limits momentum; utilization expected to trend lower.
- GlobalFoundries: Boosting capex significantly for US/EU expansion and localization strategies.
