GlobalFoundries: Facing Increasing Competition Out Of China
Summary As of Q4-24, GlobalFoundries is the fifth-largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world. The company's closest peers are United Microelectronics in Taiwan and SMIC in China. GFS is focused on manufacturing semiconductors above the 12nm process node. To put things in perspective, TSMC started production at the 12nm node in 2017. The markets in which GFS operates have been commoditized, as there are no technical barriers to entry anymore. Production out of China is expected to increase meaningfully in the coming quarter, which could come at a time of sluggish demand in GFS' end markets.
