Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s cut to its capital-expenditure budget for this year is likely to be unwelcome news for investors in semiconductor-equipment companies. Its acknowledgment that spending could be tightened further going forward suggests there might still be room for future downgrades.
Suppliers to TSMC, the world's largest contract chip manufacturer, include semiconductor-equipment makers such as Applied Materials Inc., ASML Holding NV, Lam Research Corp., KLA Corp. and ASM International NV, according to FactSet data. Applied Materials on Wednesday warned that its sales and earnings for the quarter ending in October would come in below previous expectations, citing the impact of the latest U.S. restrictions on exports to China of advanced chips and tools required to make them.
The outlook for semiconductor-equipment companies was getting cloudier even before the U.S. curbs were announced last week. Market-research firm IC Insights in August lowered its forecast for semiconductor capex for 2022 to $185.5 billion from $190.4 billion, noting that several chip makers had disclosed plans to reduce their capex budgets for this year and many more were expecting cuts next year.
TSMC said Thursday that it expects capex for 2022 to be around $36 billion, having said in July that it would spend around $40 billion, and that it would adjust spending where appropriate looking ahead in light of near-term uncertainties. A more frugal TSMC is likely to make a difference for its suppliers. IC Insights in December said the foundry--or contract manufacturing--segment would represent the largest portion of semiconductor capex last year, with TSMC estimated to account for more than half of spending in the segment.
Mana itu Suiyee Auditor. Why deleted your post. Ular ada screenshot already you still delete it kah. Ingat orang tak tau ini macam kah. Why so shy leh. TSMC still green lagi mah. So no confidence one then dont recommend to dragon leh. Haiyoh. Correct?
Luckily itu buffolo ctr closed green leh. Ular still paperloss leh. Hope later tonite can have another green candle then Ular ingat pun can have kfc liao lah. TiGong popi popi Ular tampok. Haiyoh. Correct?
@BobAxelrod why do you have to leave? You say OTB is a conman so B4 you go, can please list OTB's fail record recommendation (other than ays and hiaptec) for us to learn?
I3 have been doing a good job. Now it's getting better quality ahead. Kudos ! Have been cussed by the same group for sometimes here. Hopefully IP banning and other methods are working well and consistently going forward.
17 He withholds his hand from mistreating the poor and takes no interest or profit from them. He keeps my laws and follows my decrees.
He will not die for his father’s sin; he will surely live. 18 But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people.
19 “Yet you ask, ‘Why does the son not share the guilt of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right and has been careful to keep all my decrees, he will surely live. 20 The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them.
WHAT we can learn?
#Each person is responsible for his/her own sins. HOWEVER, each time when the Bible mentioning about Life/lives, it referred to the Life in eternity/life in Heaven. Read verse 21 -
21 “But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die.
God would prefer us to repent and attained the Eternal Life. No point God wanted to kill us anymore, because if we are away from God's plan, we are death. Seemingly Walking and eating on the streets but we are death. No life, no HAPPINESS.
LIFE on the earth is temporary only, but the eternal Life is in Heaven. Everyone is dying, even the newly born babies will died in 100 years from today.
SO, just learn/try to keep the commandments, no need to add or subtract any...
Deuteronomy 4 - 2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.
HAPPINESS in this world is an illusion - vacations, materialism, new cars, jewelries, renovations, mansions, platinum cards,
Lives over here is like the hand phones supported by the batteries, once the batteries are exhausted...
Keep His laws. decrees, Commandments as much as possible. ALL of us are far from righteous and God is actually having "pointing a gun on our heads" everyday 24/7, it could be triggered when the level of sins overflowed from the our cups.
When we do good deeds, the level of sins will get lower and when the sins committed, the level of sins will go up, when overflowed, it will trigger
HY is only a i3 favorite....................outside i3, no body gives a FFFFF about HY. further when they release q3 results, it will disappoint all the i3 bulls.
then u must understand HY is not a good fundamental stock...................................it looks ib are buying heavily into gloves for good results to be announced.
@brighsmart, you piss off many ass today. How dare you say HY is not a good fundamental stock. Have you pour in hour and many more hour to study the business and calculate its potential? If you have not, someone will tell you to shut up..... @^_^@ meow meow......
