The price of neon gas, which is actively used in the production of semiconductors, began to decline significantly. According to the South Korean portal Korea Posts, the gas used to operate lasers used in the semiconductor industry at its peak has risen in price by up to 19 times last year, but now manufacturers have reasons for cautious optimism.

Last year, there were problems with the supply of neon from Ukraine and Russia, which were the largest suppliers of this gas. From the end of February, consumers began to buy neon in bulk, sending it to warehouses, which only contributed to a further rise in prices… Detail: https://bitcoingrandee.com/posts/127 NEWS

Before political turmoil forced a change in the composition of the British government last year, officials were in talks with SoftBank, the Japanese corporation that controls the Arm business, to float the chipmaker in both New York and London. For the UK authorities, this would serve as a sign of investor confidence in the local stock market and would emphasize the prestige of British-born assets in the technology sector. Under a new prime minister, Rishi Sunak, negotiations resumed.

After waiting for a relative stabilization of the political situation in the country, according to the Financial Times, the UK authorities last month held talks in London with the involvement of both Arm management and SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son, who took part via videoconference. The parties returned to discussing the possibility of a dual offering of Arm's shares in both New York and London… Detail: https://bitcoingrandee.com/posts/126 NEWS

The desire of Apple contractors to transfer production from China to other countries does not particularly affect the “national” affiliation of the final contractors, therefore, even in the new conditions, companies from China are able to effectively compete with Taiwanese contractors for the right to manufacture Apple products. Kirkland Capital analysts are convinced of this.

Now Taiwan's Foxconn and Pegatron remain the priority contractors for the release of the iPhone, and the former of them is still the exclusive manufacturer of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, while orders for the production of simpler smartphones of the family are distributed among a large number of manufacturers. According to Kirkland Capital, Chinese companies have succeeded in technological terms in almost all areas, with the exception of the semiconductor manufacturing sector… Detail: https://bitcoingrandee.com/posts/125 NEWS

Last Friday, Samsung Electronics admitted that its operating profit for the past quarter could have declined by 69% year-on-year, based on preliminary data. Worse things with profits in the fourth quarter were only in 2008, when the world's financial crisis was raging. At the same time, Samsung's counterparties note that so far the company has not shown any intention to reduce capital expenditures.

Many semiconductor manufacturers under similar conditions have cut costs. Micron Technology is poised to cut capital costs by 40%, SK hynix will more than halve them, and Japan's Kioxia plans to cut production volumes. Taiwanese contract manufacturer TSMC was also forced to cut capital expenditures by 10% last year, although until recently it has shown high resilience to negative economic developments… Detail: https://bitcoingrandee.com/posts/124 NEWS

Taiwanese lawmakers passed a new law that will give local companies doing business in the semiconductor industry a 25% tax break on their annual R&D spending. This is part of a plan to keep advanced semiconductor technology "at home" and keep the island's technological leadership.

Local government officials have repeatedly said that the latest advanced technology will remain in Taiwan, a similar point of view has been repeatedly expressed by the local TSMC and other island tech giants operating in this field. The authorities have already helped local chipmakers in the past, including with the creation of infrastructure, now the island intends to step up efforts to support the home semiconductor business… Detail: https://bitcoingrandee.com/posts/123 NEWS
