TSMC turns in whopping profit

jmke · 25th October 2007, 11:38

The firm turned in net profits of NT$30.37 billion on revenue of NT$88.96 billion for its third quarter, which ended the 30th of September last. That gave TSMC a gross margin of 45.8 per cent and a net margin of 34.1 per cent.

I see a first victim in the price war between ATI and NV.

What does your statment base on?
TSM is the main supplier; it is not going to give up pricing. They sell because others can't produce enough at the price they want.

because suppliers, even those with market power, get pushed when a price war arises

It wouldn't be impossible that NV could turn to Intel for making their chips, just to pressure TSMC.

Not when TSM tools up the products.
