EE Times - TSMC reportedly lifts quarterly shipment forecast

Finally, some good news for my industry. TSMC is my company's main outsource silicon supplier. EE Times - TSMC reportedly lifts quarterly shipment forecast:


TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturer Co. Ltd., the world's largest foundry, said third quarter shipments were likely to be up nearly 10 percent from the April-June period, higher than earlier forecasts, according to a Reuters report on Friday (Sept. 5).

The company expects fourth quarter business to be at least at the same level as the third quarter, the account quoted TSMC public affairs manager Jesse Chou as saying. TSMC said in July it expected third quarter shipments to grow from between 5 and 9 percent from the second quarter and for a revenue increase in the high single-digit percentage.

The Semiconductor Industry Association predicted that worldwide chip sales in the third quarter of 2003 would be 5.9 percent or more ahead of the second quarter in revenue.
