reports will provide insight into how these companies are performing\nSource: Shutterstock\nT","content":"<p>Earnings reports will provide insight into how these companies are performing</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d277b8ff1b6b6711ba0749313119f04\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"576\"><span>Source: Shutterstock</span></p>\n<p>The major U.S. banks are due to report their latest earnings the week of July 12, and the results can be expected to dominate the financial news cycle. The earnings will provide insights into the health and momentum of the economy as they provide a read on both business and consumer spending. With the economy sprinting coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, the big commercial and investment banks are expected toreport strong results.</p>\n<p>The banks are also expected to begin rewarding shareholders after the U.S. Federal Reserve recently cleared them to again payout dividends and buyback their own stock. Wall Street estimates forecast that the six biggest U.S. banks could&nbsp;return more than $140 billion&nbsp;to shareholders in coming months through dividends and share buybacks.</p>\n<p>Here are seven of the biggest American banks with earnings reports next week:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>JPMorgan Chase</b>(NYSE:<b><u>JPM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Goldman Sachs</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Bank of America</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BAC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Citigroup</b>(NYSE:<b><u>C</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Wells Fargo</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WFC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Morgan Stanley</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>U.S. Bancorp</b>(NYSE:<b><u>USB</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>JPMorgan Chase (JPM)</b></p>\n<p>First out of the gate next week is the biggest U.S. bank, JPMorgan Chase. The financial conglomerate led by Jamie Dimon has generated headlines for its spate of recent acquisitions. The bank has&nbsp;made 33 acquisitions&nbsp;so far this year, its biggest spending spree in several years. The deals have mostly involved small foreign money managers and digital banks in countries such as England and Brazil.</p>\n<p>JPMorgan Chase has said that it is pursuing acquisitions to contend with an ongoing low-interest-rate environment and greater competition from financial technology (fintech) companies.</p>\n<p>The deals completed in the first half of this year are on par with all the deals JPMorgan Chase completed last year. JPM stock has risen this year along with the entire bank sector. Year-to-date, JPM stock is up 22% to a July 9 open of $153.05. In the past 12 months, the stock has increased 66%. In this year’s first quarter, JPMorgan Chase’s earnings increased 477% to $4.50 per share diluted and beat analyst estimates of $3.06 a share. Earnings were given a significant boost by $5.2 billion of net reserves that the bank had built up in 2020 during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>For the&nbsp;second-quarter results&nbsp;to be released on July 13, analysts are forecasting revenue of $30 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $3.03.</p>\n<p><b>Goldman Sachs (GS)</b></p>\n<p>Leading investment bank Goldman Sachs also reports&nbsp;second-quarter results&nbsp;on July 13, and expectations are high for blockbuster earnings. The venerable Wall Street firm set the bar high earlier this year when it reported record first quarter results that blew away expectations. Fueled by a record amount of investment banking activity, Goldman Sachs reported first quarter revenues of $17.7 billion, way ahead of the $12.6 billion forecast by analysts. EPS for the bank came in at $18.60, destroying the $10.22 estimated by analysts and 498% higher than in the first quarter of 2020.</p>\n<p>Can Goldman do it again with its second-quarter results? The&nbsp;consensus among analysts&nbsp;is for the investment bank to report second-quarter EPS of $9.52 a share, for year-over-year growth of 52%. Should Goldman Sachs beat expectations by a wide margin, it will likely propel the company’s share price to new heights. In this year’s first half, GS stock rose 40% to its July 9 opening price of $366. In the past year, the stock has gained 77%.</p>\n<p>Despite the big run in the bank’s share price, analysts see further gains in store. The&nbsp;median price target&nbsp;on GS stock is $415, implying another 13% gain in coming months.</p>\n<p><b>Bank of America (BAC)</b></p>\n<p>The second-largest U.S. bank by assets, Bank of America, reports its&nbsp;latest quarterly numbers&nbsp;on July 14. And the lender has been signaling that Wall Street should expect solid second-quarter results. Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan has been saying publicly that Bank of America is emerging from the pandemic a stronger and more competitive financial institution, helped by higher capital ratios and higher reserves. In the first quarter, the bank reported record levels of deposits, investment flows and investment banking revenues.</p>\n<p>Bank of America attracted the attention of investors when it announced on June 28 that it will increase its common stock&nbsp;dividend by 17%&nbsp;to 21 cents per share for the third quarter of this year. This came after the bank announced a $25 billion share buyback plan in April. For the second quarter, Bank of America is&nbsp;expected to report&nbsp;EPS of 77 cents, more than doubling Q2 2020’s $0.37.</p>\n<p>In this year’s first quarter, Bank of America posted EPS of 86 cents, up 115% year-over-year and above the consensus forecast of 66 cents. First quarter revenues were up a slight 0.2% to $22.8 billion, beating analysts’ estimates of $22.13 billion. BAC stock has climbed 32% higher year-to-date to $39.65 a share as of July 9. In the past 12 months, the share price has increased 73%. While the stock&nbsp;pulled back in the middle of June, next week’s earnings could spark the next leg higher.</p>\n<p><b>Citigroup (C)</b></p>\n<p>On July 14, we’ll also get earnings from Citigroup. And the latest results come at a time when C stock has been struggling and, at its July 9 level of $66.73 a share, is starting to look a little undervalued compared to its peers.</p>\n<p>Citigroup’s share price is up 11% year-to-date and has risen 34% over the last 52 weeks. Those are decent returns, but they trail the other big banks featured in this article. In the past month, Citigroup’s share price has slumped 14%. The&nbsp;June drop&nbsp;came after the bank warned that its trading revenue will likely decline by 30% this year on weak deal volumes.</p>\n<p>Despite the downward guidance, analysts still expect Citigroup to report earnings growth for the second quarter of this year. The bank is forecast to post EPS of $1.91 next week, which would be a year-over-year increase of nearly 300%. However, revenues are expected to come in at $17.35 billion, which would be about 10% lower than the second quarter of 2020 revenue of $19.77 billion. Many analysts revised down their revenue forecasts after Citigroup warned of rising costs. Chief Financial Officer Mark Mason said on June 16 that he expects&nbsp;second-quarter expenses&nbsp;to increase by as much as $11.6 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Wells Fargo (WFC)</b></p>\n<p>San Francisco-based Wells Fargo, which reports earnings on July 14, recently dominated headlines after it announced that it is closing out all of its existing&nbsp;personal lines of credit&nbsp;and will no longer offer the financial product. Lines of credit typically give retail customers loans of $3,000 to $100,000 and is often used to consolidate higher-interest credit card debt, pay for home renovations and fund college educations.</p>\n<p>The news came as a jolt to Wells Fargo customers, who were informed by the bank that the credit line closures “may have an impact on your credit score.”</p>\n<p>Eliminating the lines of credit is the latest move by Wells Fargo as it reviews its operations coming out the pandemic. The steps taken to date seem to be winning approval from investors. WFC stock is one of the best performing among banks this year. So far this year, Wells Fargo stock has gained 44% and now trades at $43.18. The share price is up 77% over the last year.For its second quarter, analysts expect Wells Fargo to report EPS of 93 cents on $17.78 billion in revenues.</p>\n<p><b>Morgan Stanley (MS)</b></p>\n<p>Investment bank Morgan Stanley won praise from investors a few weeks back after it became the first Wall Street firm to increase its dividend payout after passing the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest stress test. A day after getting the all clear from the central bank, Morgan Stanley announced that it is&nbsp;doubling its quarterly dividend&nbsp;to 70 cents per share starting in this year’s third quarter and spending $12 billion to buy back its own stock. The share repurchase program will run for the next four quarters.</p>\n<p>The positive news for shareholders helped to extend a rally in MS stock, which is now up 31% year-to-date at $87.40 a share, and up 79% over the past 12 months. Similar to rival investment bank Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley’s first quarter revenue toppled analyst expectations. For the&nbsp;first three months&nbsp;of this year, Morgan Stanley reported EPS of $2.22 a share, a substantial improvement over projections of $1.70. And the company’s revenue increased 61% in the first quarter to a record $15.7 billion, beating analysts’ estimates by $1.6 billion.</p>\n<p>For the second quarter&nbsp;reporting on July 15, analysts forecast that Morgan Stanley will report EPS of $1.65 on revenue of $13.96 billion.</p>\n<p><b>U.S. Bancorp (USB)</b></p>\n<p>Probably the least-known bank on this list is Minneapolis, Minnesota-based U.S. Bancorp. While it primarily operates in the Midwest, U.S. Bancorp is currently the fifth-largest American bank with assets approaching $500 billion. Often referred to as a“super regional bank”because of its size and performance, the lender is a&nbsp;long-term holding&nbsp;of legendary investor Warren Buffett’s&nbsp;<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BRK.B</u></b>) holding company. Buffett currently has more than $8 billion invested in USB stock.</p>\n<p>Year-to-date, USB stock is up 22%, opening July 9 at $56.08 a share. In the past 12 months, the share price has climbed 60% higher.

The earnings will provide insights into the health and momentum of the economy as they provide a read on both business and consumer spending. With the economy sprinting coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, the big commercial and investment banks are expected toreport strong results.\nThe banks are also expected to begin rewarding shareholders after the U.S. Federal Reserve recently cleared them to again payout dividends and buyback their own stock. Wall Street estimates forecast that the six biggest U.S. banks could return more than $140 billion to shareholders in coming months through dividends and share buybacks.\nHere are seven of the biggest American banks with earnings reports next week:\n\nJPMorgan Chase(NYSE:JPM)\nGoldman Sachs(NYSE:GS)\nBank of America(NYSE:BAC)\nCitigroup(NYSE:C)\nWells Fargo(NYSE:WFC)\nMorgan Stanley(NYSE:MS)\nU.S. Bancorp(NYSE:USB)\n\nJPMorgan Chase (JPM)\nFirst out of the gate next week is the biggest U.S. bank, JPMorgan Chase. The financial conglomerate led by Jamie Dimon has generated headlines for its spate of recent acquisitions. The bank has made 33 acquisitions so far this year, its biggest spending spree in several years. The deals have mostly involved small foreign money managers and digital banks in countries such as England and Brazil.\nJPMorgan Chase has said that it is pursuing acquisitions to contend with an ongoing low-interest-rate environment and greater competition from financial technology (fintech) companies.\nThe deals completed in the first half of this year are on par with all the deals JPMorgan Chase completed last year. JPM stock has risen this year along with the entire bank sector. Year-to-date, JPM stock is up 22% to a July 9 open of $153.05. In the past 12 months, the stock has increased 66%. In this year’s first quarter, JPMorgan Chase’s earnings increased 477% to $4.50 per share diluted and beat analyst estimates of $3.06 a share. Earnings were given a significant boost by $5.2 billion of net reserves that the bank had built up in 2020 during the pandemic.\nFor the second-quarter results to be released on July 13, analysts are forecasting revenue of $30 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $3.03.\nGoldman Sachs (GS)\nLeading investment bank Goldman Sachs also reports second-quarter results on July 13, and expectations are high for blockbuster earnings. The venerable Wall Street firm set the bar high earlier this year when it reported record first quarter results that blew away expectations. Fueled by a record amount of investment banking activity, Goldman Sachs reported first quarter revenues of $17.7 billion, way ahead of the $12.6 billion forecast by analysts. EPS for the bank came in at $18.60, destroying the $10.22 estimated by analysts and 498% higher than in the first quarter of 2020.\nCan Goldman do it again with its second-quarter results? The consensus among analysts is for the investment bank to report second-quarter EPS of $9.52 a share, for year-over-year growth of 52%. Should Goldman Sachs beat expectations by a wide margin, it will likely propel the company’s share price to new heights. In this year’s first half, GS stock rose 40% to its July 9 opening price of $366. In the past year, the stock has gained 77%.\nDespite the big run in the bank’s share price, analysts see further gains in store. The median price target on GS stock is $415, implying another 13% gain in coming months.\nBank of America (BAC)\nThe second-largest U.S. bank by assets, Bank of America, reports its latest quarterly numbers on July 14. And the lender has been signaling that Wall Street should expect solid second-quarter results. Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan has been saying publicly that Bank of America is emerging from the pandemic a stronger and more competitive financial institution, helped by higher capital ratios and higher reserves. In the first quarter, the bank reported record levels of deposits, investment flows and investment banking revenues.\nBank of America attracted the attention of investors when it announced on June 28 that it will increase its common stock dividend by 17% to 21 cents per share for the third quarter of this year. This came after the bank announced a $25 billion share buyback plan in April. For the second quarter, Bank of America is expected to report EPS of 77 cents, more than doubling Q2 2020’s $0.37.\nIn this year’s first quarter, Bank of America posted EPS of 86 cents, up 115% year-over-year and above the consensus forecast of 66 cents. First quarter revenues were up a slight 0.2% to $22.8 billion, beating analysts’ estimates of $22.13 billion. BAC stock has climbed 32% higher year-to-date to $39.65 a share as of July 9. In the past 12 months, the share price has increased 73%. While the stock pulled back in the middle of June, next week’s earnings could spark the next leg higher.\nCitigroup (C)\nOn July 14, we’ll also get earnings from Citigroup. And the latest results come at a time when C stock has been struggling and, at its July 9 level of $66.73 a share, is starting to look a little undervalued compared to its peers.\nCitigroup’s share price is up 11% year-to-date and has risen 34% over the last 52 weeks. Those are decent returns, but they trail the other big banks featured in this article. In the past month, Citigroup’s share price has slumped 14%. The June drop came after the bank warned that its trading revenue will likely decline by 30% this year on weak deal volumes.\nDespite the downward guidance, analysts still expect Citigroup to report earnings growth for the second quarter of this year. The bank is forecast to post EPS of $1.91 next week, which would be a year-over-year increase of nearly 300%. However, revenues are expected to come in at $17.35 billion, which would be about 10% lower than the second quarter of 2020 revenue of $19.77 billion. Many analysts revised down their revenue forecasts after Citigroup warned of rising costs. Chief Financial Officer Mark Mason said on June 16 that he expects second-quarter expenses to increase by as much as $11.6 billion.\nWells Fargo (WFC)\nSan Francisco-based Wells Fargo, which reports earnings on July 14, recently dominated headlines after it announced that it is closing out all of its existing personal lines of credit and will no longer offer the financial product. Lines of credit typically give retail customers loans of $3,000 to $100,000 and is often used to consolidate higher-interest credit card debt, pay for home renovations and fund college educations.\nThe news came as a jolt to Wells Fargo customers, who were informed by the bank that the credit line closures “may have an impact on your credit score.”\nEliminating the lines of credit is the latest move by Wells Fargo as it reviews its operations coming out the pandemic. The steps taken to date seem to be winning approval from investors. WFC stock is one of the best performing among banks this year. So far this year, Wells Fargo stock has gained 44% and now trades at $43.18. The share price is up 77% over the last year.For its second quarter, analysts expect Wells Fargo to report EPS of 93 cents on $17.78 billion in revenues.\nMorgan Stanley (MS)\nInvestment bank Morgan Stanley won praise from investors a few weeks back after it became the first Wall Street firm to increase its dividend payout after passing the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest stress test. A day after getting the all clear from the central bank, Morgan Stanley announced that it is doubling its quarterly dividend to 70 cents per share starting in this year’s third quarter and spending $12 billion to buy back its own stock. The share repurchase program will run for the next four quarters.\nThe positive news for shareholders helped to extend a rally in MS stock, which is now up 31% year-to-date at $87.40 a share, and up 79% over the past 12 months. Similar to rival investment bank Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley’s first quarter revenue toppled analyst expectations. For the first three months of this year, Morgan Stanley reported EPS of $2.22 a share, a substantial improvement over projections of $1.70. And the company’s revenue increased 61% in the first quarter to a record $15.7 billion, beating analysts’ estimates by $1.6 billion.\nFor the second quarter reporting on July 15, analysts forecast that Morgan Stanley will report EPS of $1.65 on revenue of $13.96 billion.\nU.S. Bancorp (USB)\nProbably the least-known bank on this list is Minneapolis, Minnesota-based U.S. Bancorp. While it primarily operates in the Midwest, U.S. Bancorp is currently the fifth-largest American bank with assets approaching $500 billion. Often referred to as a“super regional bank”because of its size and performance, the lender is a long-term holding of legendary investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway(NYSE:BRK.B) holding company. Buffett currently has more than $8 billion invested in USB stock.\nYear-to-date, USB stock is up 22%, opening July 9 at $56.08 a share. In the past 12 months, the share price has climbed 60% higher. However, like the rest of the banking sector, U.S. Bancorp’s stock pulled back over the past month, dipping 6% on worries that inflation is abating and interest rates may remain at historic lows over the medium-term.\nAs for its earnings on July 15, analysts expect the lender to report EPS of $1.12 for the second quarter on revenues of $5.63 billion. In this year’s first quarter, U.S. Bancorp reported EPS of $1.45, beating consensus estimates of 96 cents. First quarter revenue came in at $5.47 billion compared to analysts’ expectations of $5.53 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":350,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":141552350,"gmtCreate":1625882115070,"gmtModify":1703750344005,"author":{"id":"4087700265223580","authorId":"4087700265223580","name":"cloudyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04b26a8e8aa7c3035df84275ad86ec81","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087700265223580","authorIdStr":"4087700265223580"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting&nbsp;","listText":"Interesting&nbsp;","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/141552350","repostId":"1145284684","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145284684","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625878443,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1145284684?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-10 08:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Taiwan Semiconductor Vs.

They both provide high quality IC fabrication services, focusing on logic and various specialty technologies to serve all major sectors of the electronics industry and are defined as pure-play foundries.</p>\n<p>While they have similarities, the two companies are vastly different with different business models. TSMC started as and has always been a leading-edge company, manufacturing chips at the smallest dimensions. UMC, on the other hand, Taiwan’s first semiconductor company, has chosen the 14nm node as the smallest dimension it will manufacture.</p>\n<p>To illustrate the differences in models, Chart 1 shows revenues for both companies based on technology node. The key difference is the &lt;14nm node, where TSMC generated 41.4% of its revenue compared to 0% for UMC.</p>\n<p>Chart 1 also shows that TSMC held $43 billion in revenues in 2020 versus $6 billion for UMC. Importantly, it shows also shows the financial dominance of TSMC, since UMC holds second place in the global foundry market.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf3b088585f8a624c6665040756e940f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 1</span></p>\n<p>Much of TSMC’s revenues are on the &lt;14nm node, which increased from 29.4% of revenues in 2019 to 41.4% in 2020. Since UMC’s smallest node is 28nm/14nm, UMC is investing heavily at that node, and its share of revenue increased from 11.3% in 2019 to 13.6% in 2020. In contrast, in 2020 TSMC’s share at the 28nm/14nm node decreased to 30.8% from 37.7% in 2019.</p>\n<p><b>Expanding Capacity</b></p>\n<p><b>Leading Edge Nodes</b></p>\n<p>TSMC generates about 1/3 of its revenues from the 28nm/14nm, and TSMC has 562,000 wafers/month of 8\" capacity, and 745,000 wafers/month of 12\" capacity. The total capacity is 995,000 wafers/month (12-inch equivalent).</p>\n<p>In TSMC’sQ1 2021 earnings call, TSMC’s VP and CFO Wendell Huang noted:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “In order to meet the increasing demand for our advanced and specialty technologies in the next several years, we have decided to raise our full year 2021 CapEx to be around USD 30 billion. About 80% of the 2021 capital budget will be allocated for advanced process technologies, including 3-nanometer, 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer. About 10% will be spent for advanced packaging and mask making, and about 10% will be spent for specialty technologies.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>TSMC expects to invest about $100 billion through the next 3 years to increase capacity, to support the manufacturing and R&amp;D of leading-edge and specialty technologies. Its N5 is already in its second year of volume production, contributing around 20% of our wafer revenue in 2021. N4 risk production is targeted for second half this year and volume production in 2022.</p>\n<p>Among TSMC's facilities to go online in the next three to four years are the company's&nbsp;fab in Arizona&nbsp;as well as its first 2nm-capable fab in Taiwan. The company needs to build and equip its N5-capable fab in Arizona. The facility will cost around $12 billion, will have a capacity of 20,000 wafer starts per month (WSPM), and will come online in 2024.</p>\n<p><b>28nm Nodes</b></p>\n<p>The global semiconductor shortage is one of the catalysts prompting foundry manufacturers to build new fabs, particularly at the 28nm node, as many automobile chips are manufactured at that node. While I have devoted four Seeking Alpha articles on trying to pin down what devices are undersupplied and could only find microcontrollers, in this article, I will concede for the sake of argument, that it is not due to hoarding but inept manufacturing supply chains.</p>\n<p>As a result, governments are spending heavily on this industry to expand the total production capacity. These free handouts are a second catalyst for new 28nm node fab construction.</p>\n<p>A strong demand for wafers from the consumer electronics industry has led to increased shipments of UMC’s 28nm wafers, which saw 18% sequential revenue growth in the last reported quarter. In addition, UMC has been focused on production for the automotive industry as semiconductors for electric and self-driving cars are expected to be a major growth driver for the company. However, global automotive semiconductors are only a $40 billion market, compared to a global semiconductor market of $525 billion. That is growing as more semiconductors are used per vehicle each year and because EVs use more semiconductors than internal combustion vehicles.</p>\n<p>There is a supply-demand imbalance in mature nodes, as most of the capacity expansion has been in advanced nodes, but companies have not addressed the mature nodes. The technology node is central to the latest auto chip crisis, while at the same time Sony has moved its design of CMOS Integrated Sensors (\"CIS\") for smartphones to 28nm.</p>\n<p>On April 22, TSMC announced plans to build a chip fabrication facility in China is at the receiving end of opposition from critics. The plant is set to make semiconductors built on the mature 28nm process node. The Nanjing plant currently has an installed capacity of 20,000 wafers per month. An investment of $2.8 billion and expecting mass-production in 2023, the expansion will double capacity to 40,000 wafers per month.</p>\n<p>TSMC has global 562,000 wafers/month of 8\" capacity, and 745,000 wafers/month of 12\" capacity. The total capacity is 995,000 wafers/month (12-inch equivalent). The new fab with a 20,000 wafer per month capacity represents just 2% of the company’s total capacity.</p>\n<p>UMC also expanded its production of 28nm (with a migration to 40nm) process at its Nanke 12-inch Fab 12A P6 plant in Taiwan. It currently has an 87,000 wafer per month capacity. The total investment in the capacity expansion plan is estimated to be approximately NT$100 billion. The P6 expansion is scheduled for production in the second quarter of 2023, and has a capacity of just 10,000 wafers per month.</p>\n<p>The P6 program is supported by a multi-year's product alignment between UMC and the involved customers that includes a loading protection mechanism that will ensure the P6 capacity is maintained at a healthy loading level.</p>\n<p>UMC has total 12 fabs in production with combined capacity close to 800,000 wafers per month (8-in equivalent).</p>\n<p><b>Price Per Wafer</b></p>\n<p>Chart 2 shows the gross profit by node for an IC device. It partially explains the rationale behind TSMC’s business model to move to advanced nodes, while also explaining why the company chose to leave its 28nm node undersupplied until recent external forces prompted it to build its China fab.</p>\n<p>Gross profits per 300-mm wafer are $2,835 for a 28nm node versus $8,695 for a 3nm node.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e241c85dd84eb71f54c3b11812e6599\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 2</span></p>\n<p>Chart 3 shows capex spend by node for ICs. Capex spend (building + equipment) at 28nm is $100,000 per wafer, which more than triples to $320,000 at 3nm.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f8f60218f2b914e5847e2eef8aa39c3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 3</span></p>\n<p><b>Customer Base</b></p>\n<p>Chart 4 shows that Apple (AAPL) was the largest customer of TSMC in 2020, representing 21% of revenues. Keep in mind that in addition to TSMC’s processors going into iPhones, TSMC also fabricates the M1, which powers the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini and is Apple's first custom-designed Arm-based chip for Mac.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/354a97772e16c2a05dbccc89556de9eb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"465\"><span>Chart 4</span></p>\n<p>TSMC has upgraded its manufacturing capabilities countless times to keep Apple’s latest chips at the bleeding edge of processor technologies, since its first chip produced for Apple was installed in the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were introduced on September 9, 2014.</p>\n<p>Chart 5 shows that the number of transistors increased from 2 billion for the iPhone 6 to 11.8 billion for the current iPhone 12.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/108ef270fe60691ec5bc8c7f0a061d9c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 5</span></p>\n<p>Thus, investors must consider that:</p>\n<p>Any positive developments from Apple will impact TSMC positively, and positive technological developments from TSMC will impact Apple positively. For example, as long as TSMC is the major manufacturer of Apple chips, growth in Apple or new technologies developed by Apple requiring chips (such as Auto or ADAS), then TSMC will gain.</p>\n<p>Secondly, because of capacity limitations and technology node demands, any expansion in capacity from TSMC will be beneficial to Apple as it moves to smaller nodes while consuming about 25% of TSMC’s chip output on a revenue basis.</p>\n<p>UMC is less transparent and doesn’t provide a breakdown by customer. UMC’s primary customers include premier integrated device manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN)and Intel Mobile(NASDAQ:INTC), plus leading fabless design companies, such as MediaTek(OTCPK:MDTKF), Realtek, Qualcomm(NASDAQ:QCOM)and Novatek.</p>\n<p>In August 2018, UMC announced it would pause research for advancing the productional technology of chips under 10nm nodes. As shown in the figure above, since 2018, the corresponding proportion of the company's advanced processes has been reduced to zero, but for mature nodes such as 65nm and 28nm, the proportion has been increased.</p>\n<p><b>Investor Takeaways</b>: Is TSM Or UMC Stock A Better Buy?</p>\n<p>Both companies compete in the same industry, but their business models are a differentiating metric.

They both provide high quality IC fabrication services, focusing on logic and various specialty technologies to serve all major sectors of the electronics industry and are defined as pure-play foundries.\nWhile they have similarities, the two companies are vastly different with different business models. TSMC started as and has always been a leading-edge company, manufacturing chips at the smallest dimensions. UMC, on the other hand, Taiwan’s first semiconductor company, has chosen the 14nm node as the smallest dimension it will manufacture.\nTo illustrate the differences in models, Chart 1 shows revenues for both companies based on technology node. The key difference is the <14nm node, where TSMC generated 41.4% of its revenue compared to 0% for UMC.\nChart 1 also shows that TSMC held $43 billion in revenues in 2020 versus $6 billion for UMC. Importantly, it shows also shows the financial dominance of TSMC, since UMC holds second place in the global foundry market.\nChart 1\nMuch of TSMC’s revenues are on the <14nm node, which increased from 29.4% of revenues in 2019 to 41.4% in 2020. Since UMC’s smallest node is 28nm/14nm, UMC is investing heavily at that node, and its share of revenue increased from 11.3% in 2019 to 13.6% in 2020. In contrast, in 2020 TSMC’s share at the 28nm/14nm node decreased to 30.8% from 37.7% in 2019.\nExpanding Capacity\nLeading Edge Nodes\nTSMC generates about 1/3 of its revenues from the 28nm/14nm, and TSMC has 562,000 wafers/month of 8\" capacity, and 745,000 wafers/month of 12\" capacity. The total capacity is 995,000 wafers/month (12-inch equivalent).\nIn TSMC’sQ1 2021 earnings call, TSMC’s VP and CFO Wendell Huang noted:\n\n “In order to meet the increasing demand for our advanced and specialty technologies in the next several years, we have decided to raise our full year 2021 CapEx to be around USD 30 billion. About 80% of the 2021 capital budget will be allocated for advanced process technologies, including 3-nanometer, 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer. About 10% will be spent for advanced packaging and mask making, and about 10% will be spent for specialty technologies.”\n\nTSMC expects to invest about $100 billion through the next 3 years to increase capacity, to support the manufacturing and R&D of leading-edge and specialty technologies. Its N5 is already in its second year of volume production, contributing around 20% of our wafer revenue in 2021. N4 risk production is targeted for second half this year and volume production in 2022.\nAmong TSMC's facilities to go online in the next three to four years are the company's fab in Arizona as well as its first 2nm-capable fab in Taiwan. The company needs to build and equip its N5-capable fab in Arizona. The facility will cost around $12 billion, will have a capacity of 20,000 wafer starts per month (WSPM), and will come online in 2024.\n28nm Nodes\nThe global semiconductor shortage is one of the catalysts prompting foundry manufacturers to build new fabs, particularly at the 28nm node, as many automobile chips are manufactured at that node. While I have devoted four Seeking Alpha articles on trying to pin down what devices are undersupplied and could only find microcontrollers, in this article, I will concede for the sake of argument, that it is not due to hoarding but inept manufacturing supply chains.\nAs a result, governments are spending heavily on this industry to expand the total production capacity. These free handouts are a second catalyst for new 28nm node fab construction.\nA strong demand for wafers from the consumer electronics industry has led to increased shipments of UMC’s 28nm wafers, which saw 18% sequential revenue growth in the last reported quarter. In addition, UMC has been focused on production for the automotive industry as semiconductors for electric and self-driving cars are expected to be a major growth driver for the company. However, global automotive semiconductors are only a $40 billion market, compared to a global semiconductor market of $525 billion. That is growing as more semiconductors are used per vehicle each year and because EVs use more semiconductors than internal combustion vehicles.\nThere is a supply-demand imbalance in mature nodes, as most of the capacity expansion has been in advanced nodes, but companies have not addressed the mature nodes. The technology node is central to the latest auto chip crisis, while at the same time Sony has moved its design of CMOS Integrated Sensors (\"CIS\") for smartphones to 28nm.\nOn April 22, TSMC announced plans to build a chip fabrication facility in China is at the receiving end of opposition from critics. The plant is set to make semiconductors built on the mature 28nm process node. The Nanjing plant currently has an installed capacity of 20,000 wafers per month. An investment of $2.8 billion and expecting mass-production in 2023, the expansion will double capacity to 40,000 wafers per month.\nTSMC has global 562,000 wafers/month of 8\" capacity, and 745,000 wafers/month of 12\" capacity. The total capacity is 995,000 wafers/month (12-inch equivalent). The new fab with a 20,000 wafer per month capacity represents just 2% of the company’s total capacity.\nUMC also expanded its production of 28nm (with a migration to 40nm) process at its Nanke 12-inch Fab 12A P6 plant in Taiwan. It currently has an 87,000 wafer per month capacity. The total investment in the capacity expansion plan is estimated to be approximately NT$100 billion. The P6 expansion is scheduled for production in the second quarter of 2023, and has a capacity of just 10,000 wafers per month.\nThe P6 program is supported by a multi-year's product alignment between UMC and the involved customers that includes a loading protection mechanism that will ensure the P6 capacity is maintained at a healthy loading level.\nUMC has total 12 fabs in production with combined capacity close to 800,000 wafers per month (8-in equivalent).\nPrice Per Wafer\nChart 2 shows the gross profit by node for an IC device. It partially explains the rationale behind TSMC’s business model to move to advanced nodes, while also explaining why the company chose to leave its 28nm node undersupplied until recent external forces prompted it to build its China fab.\nGross profits per 300-mm wafer are $2,835 for a 28nm node versus $8,695 for a 3nm node.\nChart 2\nChart 3 shows capex spend by node for ICs. Capex spend (building + equipment) at 28nm is $100,000 per wafer, which more than triples to $320,000 at 3nm.\nChart 3\nCustomer Base\nChart 4 shows that Apple (AAPL) was the largest customer of TSMC in 2020, representing 21% of revenues. Keep in mind that in addition to TSMC’s processors going into iPhones, TSMC also fabricates the M1, which powers the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini and is Apple's first custom-designed Arm-based chip for Mac.\nChart 4\nTSMC has upgraded its manufacturing capabilities countless times to keep Apple’s latest chips at the bleeding edge of processor technologies, since its first chip produced for Apple was installed in the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were introduced on September 9, 2014.\nChart 5 shows that the number of transistors increased from 2 billion for the iPhone 6 to 11.8 billion for the current iPhone 12.\nChart 5\nThus, investors must consider that:\nAny positive developments from Apple will impact TSMC positively, and positive technological developments from TSMC will impact Apple positively. For example, as long as TSMC is the major manufacturer of Apple chips, growth in Apple or new technologies developed by Apple requiring chips (such as Auto or ADAS), then TSMC will gain.\nSecondly, because of capacity limitations and technology node demands, any expansion in capacity from TSMC will be beneficial to Apple as it moves to smaller nodes while consuming about 25% of TSMC’s chip output on a revenue basis.\nUMC is less transparent and doesn’t provide a breakdown by customer. UMC’s primary customers include premier integrated device manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN)and Intel Mobile(NASDAQ:INTC), plus leading fabless design companies, such as MediaTek(OTCPK:MDTKF), Realtek, Qualcomm(NASDAQ:QCOM)and Novatek.\nIn August 2018, UMC announced it would pause research for advancing the productional technology of chips under 10nm nodes. As shown in the figure above, since 2018, the corresponding proportion of the company's advanced processes has been reduced to zero, but for mature nodes such as 65nm and 28nm, the proportion has been increased.\nInvestor Takeaways: Is TSM Or UMC Stock A Better Buy?\nBoth companies compete in the same industry, but their business models are a differentiating metric. TSMC generates most of its revenue on nodes smaller than UMC’s (Chart 1), and most of its planned capex will focus new fabs making ICs at increasing smaller nodes.\nTSMC Positives\nTSMC’s share of the pure-play foundry market was 57% share in 2020, up from 55% in 2019. UMC’s share was constant at slightly less than 8%.\nTSMC benefits from the smaller nodes. Although capex increases with decreasing nodes (Chart 3), so too does gross profit (Chart 2). Thus, TSM has higher revenues than UMC: $48.2B vs $6.283B.\n\nTSMC also has higher annual earnings (EBITDA): $33B vs. UMC $2.349B.\nTSMC ($613B) has a higher market cap than UMC ($23.4B).\nTSMC has more cash on hand: $23.3B vs. UMC ($3.76B).\nTSMC has a higher EPS (3.99) than UMC (0.59).\n\nSeeking Alpha’s quant ratings are derived by measuring a stock's financial metrics against other stocks in the sector on the basis of value, growth, profitability, momentum and analysts’ earnings revisions. In Table 1, both stocks have high rankings. TSMC has a quant rating of 4.63 and UMC has a quant rating of 4.54.\n\nGross margin for TSMC and UMC is shown in Table 2. A positive for TSMC, gross margin is significantly ahead of UMC and the average of all foundries. The Street expects 3Q21 gross margin will improve to 52.9%, given a higher revenue scale, tight foundry supply and improved efficiency of 5nm production.\n\nUMC Positives\nThe comparison of other financial metrics, UMC has stronger financials:\n\nUMC has a lower P/E ratio than TSM: 21.8 vs 28.9\nUMC has less debt than TSM: $2.47B vs $15.4B.\nUMC YTD gains are higher at: 10.558 vs. TSM (8.922).\n\nTable 3 shows stock performance in percent growth for TSM and UMC. In the past year, UMC stock has outperformed TSMC, and did so in the 3-year and 5-year period. But in a 10-year period, TSMC is the better choice.\n\nTSMC is the clear winner over UMC going forward. The company chose its strategy to build chips at the <7nm node. The fact that it is building a 28nm fab in China, the “sweet spot” for UMC, coupled with a new 28nm SMIC (OTCQX:SMICY) fab, will mean lost market share at this node for UMC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":268,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":141558400,"gmtCreate":1625882061600,"gmtModify":1703750343514,"author":{"id":"4087700265223580","authorId":"4087700265223580","name":"cloudyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04b26a8e8aa7c3035df84275ad86ec81","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087700265223580","authorIdStr":"4087700265223580"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/141558400","repostId":"1173374462","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1173374462","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625840008,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1173374462?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-09 22:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meme Stocks Like GameStop and AMC Reflect Market Reality","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1173374462","media":"Thestreet","summary":"Gamestop (GME) made some investors rich… and then it broke many more.

Investing in AMC Entertainment (AMC) did the exact same thing. These two stocks represent, if not failing businesses, at least ailing ones; companies that struggled to keep up with the new economy even before the pandemic shut down large swaths of it. Yet over the past few months they have posted some of the most volatile gains and losses on the market.\nHow?\nIt’s down to what Real Money's Timothy Collins calls the market of “meme stock hyperbole.” But, he writes, is it really all that different from how trading has always worked?\nHave you ever really thought about the phrases 'to the moon' or 'conviction buy,' and how they mess with out perception of fair value?\n\"Initially, I rolled my eyes at the continued use of the phrase 'To The Moon,'\" Collins says. \"It's not like 'Strong Buy with a price target of $65', for instance. 'To the moon' is completely arbitrary and open to interpretation, but then again so are most things about valuation, when you think about it,\" Collins wrote.\n\"For instance, when an analyst pounds the table on a stock, how is that different from 'to the moon?' Or when someone says, 'all in.' Are they really all in? Did they cash in all their assets, pool the liquidity, and buy every share they possibly could? Probably not. Actually, I'd say definitely not 99.9999% of the time. Of course, there's always that one person,\" Collins said.\n\"But the point isWall Street has been arbitraryfor years. We can't even have a standard rating system. Is it 'Neutral' or 'Hold?' And really, do I want to hold something that is only in the middle of your range? No.\"\nCollins writes, \"The system should be 'buy' or 'sell.' That's it. Black or white. Own or don't own.\"\nAssets like GameStop and even cryptocurrency seem to be selling on nothing more than pure emotion. Investors are taking these products for a joy ride, and that tends to send prices flying up and down the ladder.\nThat’s confusing, to be sure. Just, before you go throwing your hands in the air, it’s important to remember that the stock market has always been at least a little bit arbitrary.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":202,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":154121414,"gmtCreate":1625491056738,"gmtModify":1703742618711,"author":{"id":"4087700265223580","authorId":"4087700265223580","name":"cloudyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04b26a8e8aa7c3035df84275ad86ec81","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087700265223580","authorIdStr":"4087700265223580"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/154121414","repostId":"1155435134","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155435134","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625483300,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155435134?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-05 19:08","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"What Does the End of the Quarter Mean for Portfolio Management?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155435134","media":"investopedia","summary":"The \"end of the quarter\" refers to the conclusion of one of four specific three-month periods on the","content":"<p>The \"end of the quarter\" refers to the conclusion of one of four specific three-month periods on the financial calendar.

The blue-chip index logged a seventh straight day of gains in its longest winning streak since August 2020. The Nasdaq also hit all-time intraday and closing highs, and the Dow gained to set its first record high since May 7. Shares of Tesla (TSLA) fluctuated before ending slightly higher after the electric car-maker's second-quarter deliveries hit a new record but still missed analysts' estimates, based on Bloomberg consensus data.</p>\n<p>Investorsconsidered the U.S. Labor Department's June jobs report, the central economic data point that came out this week. The print showed a stronger-than-anticipated acceleration in hiring, with non-farm payrolls rising by 850,000 for a sixth straight monthly gain. The unemployment rate, however, unexpectedly ticked up slightly to 5.9%.</p>\n<p>\"This is the 'Goldilocks report' that the market was looking for today. You had a nice print here of 850,000 jobs being added, wage pressure remaining — I wouldn't call them necessarily contained — but surprising here on the downside versus consensus estimates. So this is telling us right now that economic growth is continuing to accelerate here, the jobs market is continuing to heal,\" Emily Roland, co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management, told Yahoo Finance. \"We're making progress here in terms of what the Fed has set out to do, which is in order to get unemployment get down, they're going to let inflation run a little bit hot here. Not too hot, not too cold — this is just what the market wants.\"</p>\n<p>Heading into the report, equities have been buoyed by a slew of strong economic data earlier this week, especially on the labor market.Private payrolls rose by a better-than-expected 692,000 in June,according to ADP, andweekly initial jobless claims improved more than expectedto the lowest level since March 2020. Still, other reports underscored the still-prevalent labor supply challenges impacting companies across industries, with the scarcity capping what has otherwise been a robust economic rebound.</p>\n<p>\"It's really the labor market supply that's putting the brake on hiring right now,\" Luke Tilley, chief economist for Wilmington Trust, told Yahoo Finance. \"But we're pretty optimistic, the market is pretty optimistic, and we think that's a big part of what's driving these indexes higher.\"</p>\n<p>Friday's jobs report will also give markets a suggestion as to the timing of the Federal Reserve's next monetary policy move. For now, the Fed has kept in place both of its key crisis-era policies, or quantitative easing and a near-zero benchmark interest rate. However, an especially strong jobs report and faster-than-expected print on wage growth could justify an earlier-than-currently-telegraphed shift by the central bank.</p>\n<p>“For the first time in years, I’m actually worried about a too hot number causing some kind of volatility or pullback in stocks. That’s because the Fed has signaled they are looking to taper QE,\" Tom Essaye, Sevens Report Research founder,told Yahoo Finance. \"And if we get a really, really strong jobs number and a hot wage number, then markets are going to start to say gee, are they going to taper QE maybe before November, or are they going to taper it more intensely than we thought and in a market that's frankly been very calm and a little bit complacent, that could cause volatility.\"</p>\n<p>Still, the Fed has suggested it would not react rashly to single reports, and has given itself leeway to adjust the timeline of its monetary policy pivots as more data comes in.</p>\n<p>\"I think everyone's counting on the Fed continuing really for the foreseeable future. So I don't see any big changes there coming before 2023,\" Octavio Marenzi, CEO and founder of Opimas,told Yahoo Finance.\"And even then the Fed has hedged its bets very significantly — they've basically said we might in 2023 raise interest rates twice, but then again we might not.

The blue-chip index logged a seventh straight day of gains in its longest winning streak since August 2020. The Nasdaq also hit all-time intraday and closing highs, and the Dow gained to set its first record high since May 7. Shares of Tesla (TSLA) fluctuated before ending slightly higher after the electric car-maker's second-quarter deliveries hit a new record but still missed analysts' estimates, based on Bloomberg consensus data.\nInvestorsconsidered the U.S. Labor Department's June jobs report, the central economic data point that came out this week. The print showed a stronger-than-anticipated acceleration in hiring, with non-farm payrolls rising by 850,000 for a sixth straight monthly gain. The unemployment rate, however, unexpectedly ticked up slightly to 5.9%.\n\"This is the 'Goldilocks report' that the market was looking for today. You had a nice print here of 850,000 jobs being added, wage pressure remaining — I wouldn't call them necessarily contained — but surprising here on the downside versus consensus estimates. So this is telling us right now that economic growth is continuing to accelerate here, the jobs market is continuing to heal,\" Emily Roland, co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management, told Yahoo Finance. \"We're making progress here in terms of what the Fed has set out to do, which is in order to get unemployment get down, they're going to let inflation run a little bit hot here. Not too hot, not too cold — this is just what the market wants.\"\nHeading into the report, equities have been buoyed by a slew of strong economic data earlier this week, especially on the labor market.Private payrolls rose by a better-than-expected 692,000 in June,according to ADP, andweekly initial jobless claims improved more than expectedto the lowest level since March 2020. Still, other reports underscored the still-prevalent labor supply challenges impacting companies across industries, with the scarcity capping what has otherwise been a robust economic rebound.\n\"It's really the labor market supply that's putting the brake on hiring right now,\" Luke Tilley, chief economist for Wilmington Trust, told Yahoo Finance. \"But we're pretty optimistic, the market is pretty optimistic, and we think that's a big part of what's driving these indexes higher.\"\nFriday's jobs report will also give markets a suggestion as to the timing of the Federal Reserve's next monetary policy move. For now, the Fed has kept in place both of its key crisis-era policies, or quantitative easing and a near-zero benchmark interest rate. However, an especially strong jobs report and faster-than-expected print on wage growth could justify an earlier-than-currently-telegraphed shift by the central bank.\n“For the first time in years, I’m actually worried about a too hot number causing some kind of volatility or pullback in stocks. That’s because the Fed has signaled they are looking to taper QE,\" Tom Essaye, Sevens Report Research founder,told Yahoo Finance. \"And if we get a really, really strong jobs number and a hot wage number, then markets are going to start to say gee, are they going to taper QE maybe before November, or are they going to taper it more intensely than we thought and in a market that's frankly been very calm and a little bit complacent, that could cause volatility.\"\nStill, the Fed has suggested it would not react rashly to single reports, and has given itself leeway to adjust the timeline of its monetary policy pivots as more data comes in.\n\"I think everyone's counting on the Fed continuing really for the foreseeable future. So I don't see any big changes there coming before 2023,\" Octavio Marenzi, CEO and founder of Opimas,told Yahoo Finance.\"And even then the Fed has hedged its bets very significantly — they've basically said we might in 2023 raise interest rates twice, but then again we might not. So I think the smart money is betting things are going to keep on going, they're going to carry on with a very accommodative monetary policy.\"\nEven with the recent strength for stocks, market strategists say that uncertainty about the future of the Fed’s asset purchases and the upcoming earnings season could keep stocks from making major gains in the near term.\n“The market is still very much concerned about the Fed’s reaction function,” said Max Gokhman, head of asset allocation at Pacific Life Fund Advisors, adding that he thought there was still a lot of slack in the labor market.\n4:01 p.m. ET: Stocks close higher, S&P 500 posts longest winning streak since August 2020\nHere's where markets closed out on Friday:\n\nS&P 500 (^GSPC): +32.51 (+0.75%) to 4,352.45\nDow (^DJI): +154.4 (+0.45%) to 34,787.93\nNasdaq (^IXIC): +116.95 (+0.81%) to 14,639.33","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":248,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151384167,"gmtCreate":1625064058959,"gmtModify":1703735300107,"author":{"id":"4087700265223580","authorId":"4087700265223580","name":"cloudyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04b26a8e8aa7c3035df84275ad86ec81","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087700265223580","authorIdStr":"4087700265223580"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/151384167","repostId":"1155548924","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155548924","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1625063251,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155548924?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-30 22:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"EV stocks surged in Wednesday morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155548924","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"EV stocks surged in Wednesday morning trading.Nio, Li Auto&nbsp;and Tesla&nbsp;climbed between 0.7% and 5.6%.&nbsp;While&nbsp;Xpeng Motors&nbsp;fell&nbsp;0.7%.","content":"<p>EV stocks surged in Wednesday morning trading.Nio, Li Auto&nbsp;and Tesla&nbsp;climbed between 0.7% and 5.6%.&nbsp;While&nbsp;Xpeng Motors&nbsp;fell&nbsp;0.7%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b3cdf9487d32d5f8f934cea51ae1ab2\" tg-width=\"375\" tg-height=\"352\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Thefour quartersend in March, or Q1; June, or Q2; September, or Q3; and December, or Q4. These are considered important times for investors. Many businesses, analysts, government agencies, and theFederal Reserverelease critical new data about various markets or economic indicators at the end of a quarter.</p>\n<p>There's a widely held belief in financial circles that hedge funds, pension funds, and insurance companies always rebalance their portfolios at the end of each quarter. While no proof or evidence has ever been put forward to confirm this practice or its prevalence, the very idea reinforces the concept that the end of a quarter is significant.</p>\n<p>Even if major financial players do not always rebalance at the end of quarters, many investors use this time to re-evaluate their ownportfolio management, changing which assets comprise the portfolio or setting new portfolio targets. Not only is it a good idea for investors to monitor their investments from time-to-time but rarely is so much new, actionable information released as during the end of a quarter.</p>\n<p>Rebalancing a Portfolio</p>\n<p>Rebalancinginvolves the periodic sale and purchase of assets within a portfolio to maintain a target ratio.2Consider an investor who wants his portfolio to be comprised of 50% growth stocks, 25% income stocks, and 25% bonds. If during Q1, the growth stocks outperform the other investments substantially, the investor may decide to sell some growth stocks or purchase more income stocks and bonds to bring the portfolio back to a 50-25-25 split.</p>\n<p>KEY TAKEAWAYS</p>\n<ul>\n <li>The end of the three-month period known as a financial quarter is considered an important time for investors.</li>\n <li>Companies, financial analysts, and government agencies (including the Fed) all release reports and critical data at the end of a quarter.</li>\n <li>Both retail and institutional investors often use the end of a quarter to re-evaluate and rebalance their portfolios.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Traditional rebalancing involves trading the gains of well-performing assets, by selling high, for more low-performing assets, by buying low, at the end of each quarter. Theoretically, this serves to protect a portfolio from being too exposed or straying too far from its original strategy. However, pegging rebalances to the end of quarters relies on arbitrary calendar events which may not coincide with market movements. Nevertheless, the confluence of new reports that emerge at the end of quarters usually causes market reactions and should be of concern to most participants.</p>\n<p>Institutional Investors and Rebalancing</p>\n<p>It is not just individual investors who consider making portfolio moves at the end of quarters.

Thefour quartersend in March, or Q1; June, or Q2; September, or Q3; and December, or Q4. These are considered important times for investors. Many businesses, analysts, government agencies, and theFederal Reserverelease critical new data about various markets or economic indicators at the end of a quarter.\nThere's a widely held belief in financial circles that hedge funds, pension funds, and insurance companies always rebalance their portfolios at the end of each quarter. While no proof or evidence has ever been put forward to confirm this practice or its prevalence, the very idea reinforces the concept that the end of a quarter is significant.\nEven if major financial players do not always rebalance at the end of quarters, many investors use this time to re-evaluate their ownportfolio management, changing which assets comprise the portfolio or setting new portfolio targets. Not only is it a good idea for investors to monitor their investments from time-to-time but rarely is so much new, actionable information released as during the end of a quarter.\nRebalancing a Portfolio\nRebalancinginvolves the periodic sale and purchase of assets within a portfolio to maintain a target ratio.2Consider an investor who wants his portfolio to be comprised of 50% growth stocks, 25% income stocks, and 25% bonds. If during Q1, the growth stocks outperform the other investments substantially, the investor may decide to sell some growth stocks or purchase more income stocks and bonds to bring the portfolio back to a 50-25-25 split.\nKEY TAKEAWAYS\n\nThe end of the three-month period known as a financial quarter is considered an important time for investors.\nCompanies, financial analysts, and government agencies (including the Fed) all release reports and critical data at the end of a quarter.\nBoth retail and institutional investors often use the end of a quarter to re-evaluate and rebalance their portfolios.\n\nTraditional rebalancing involves trading the gains of well-performing assets, by selling high, for more low-performing assets, by buying low, at the end of each quarter. Theoretically, this serves to protect a portfolio from being too exposed or straying too far from its original strategy. However, pegging rebalances to the end of quarters relies on arbitrary calendar events which may not coincide with market movements. Nevertheless, the confluence of new reports that emerge at the end of quarters usually causes market reactions and should be of concern to most participants.\nInstitutional Investors and Rebalancing\nIt is not just individual investors who consider making portfolio moves at the end of quarters. Portfolio management is also important for institutional investors, like mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or ETFs.3\nThere are two forms of fund portfolio management: active and passive.4Passive funds generally peg their portfolios to market indexes and involve fewer changes in exchange for lower management fees. The end of a quarter is less significant for these types of funds, though if theirbenchmark indexeschange at this time, they will as well.\nActive funds have a manager or team of managers who take a more proactive approach to beat market average returns. These funds can be quite active during the end of quarters, especially if their portfolios need to be adjusted to meet their previously stated goals and strategies.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":544,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151384167,"gmtCreate":1625064058959,"gmtModify":1703735300107,"author":{"id":"4087700265223580","authorId":"4087700265223580","name":"cloudyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04b26a8e8aa7c3035df84275ad86ec81","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087700265223580","authorIdStr":"4087700265223580"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/151384167","repostId":"1155548924","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155548924","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1625063251,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155548924?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-30 22:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"EV stocks surged in Wednesday morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155548924","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"EV stocks surged in Wednesday morning trading.Nio, Li Auto&nbsp;and Tesla&nbsp;climbed between 0.7% and 5.6%.&nbsp;While&nbsp;Xpeng Motors&nbsp;fell&nbsp;0.7%.","content":"<p>EV stocks surged in Wednesday morning trading.Nio, Li Auto&nbsp;and Tesla&nbsp;climbed between 0.7% and 5.6%.&nbsp;While&nbsp;Xpeng Motors&nbsp;fell&nbsp;0.7%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b3cdf9487d32d5f8f934cea51ae1ab2\" tg-width=\"375\" tg-height=\"352\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Wall Street estimates forecast that the six biggest U.S. banks could&nbsp;return more than $140 billion&nbsp;to shareholders in coming months through dividends and share buybacks.</p>\n<p>Here are seven of the biggest American banks with earnings reports next week:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>JPMorgan Chase</b>(NYSE:<b><u>JPM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Goldman Sachs</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Bank of America</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BAC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Citigroup</b>(NYSE:<b><u>C</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Wells Fargo</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WFC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Morgan Stanley</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>U.S. Bancorp</b>(NYSE:<b><u>USB</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>JPMorgan Chase (JPM)</b></p>\n<p>First out of the gate next week is the biggest U.S. bank, JPMorgan Chase. The financial conglomerate led by Jamie Dimon has generated headlines for its spate of recent acquisitions. The bank has&nbsp;made 33 acquisitions&nbsp;so far this year, its biggest spending spree in several years. The deals have mostly involved small foreign money managers and digital banks in countries such as England and Brazil.</p>\n<p>JPMorgan Chase has said that it is pursuing acquisitions to contend with an ongoing low-interest-rate environment and greater competition from financial technology (fintech) companies.</p>\n<p>The deals completed in the first half of this year are on par with all the deals JPMorgan Chase completed last year. JPM stock has risen this year along with the entire bank sector. Year-to-date, JPM stock is up 22% to a July 9 open of $153.05. In the past 12 months, the stock has increased 66%. In this year’s first quarter, JPMorgan Chase’s earnings increased 477% to $4.50 per share diluted and beat analyst estimates of $3.06 a share. Earnings were given a significant boost by $5.2 billion of net reserves that the bank had built up in 2020 during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>For the&nbsp;second-quarter results&nbsp;to be released on July 13, analysts are forecasting revenue of $30 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $3.03.</p>\n<p><b>Goldman Sachs (GS)</b></p>\n<p>Leading investment bank Goldman Sachs also reports&nbsp;second-quarter results&nbsp;on July 13, and expectations are high for blockbuster earnings. The venerable Wall Street firm set the bar high earlier this year when it reported record first quarter results that blew away expectations. Fueled by a record amount of investment banking activity, Goldman Sachs reported first quarter revenues of $17.7 billion, way ahead of the $12.6 billion forecast by analysts. EPS for the bank came in at $18.60, destroying the $10.22 estimated by analysts and 498% higher than in the first quarter of 2020.</p>\n<p>Can Goldman do it again with its second-quarter results? The&nbsp;consensus among analysts&nbsp;is for the investment bank to report second-quarter EPS of $9.52 a share, for year-over-year growth of 52%. Should Goldman Sachs beat expectations by a wide margin, it will likely propel the company’s share price to new heights. In this year’s first half, GS stock rose 40% to its July 9 opening price of $366. In the past year, the stock has gained 77%.</p>\n<p>Despite the big run in the bank’s share price, analysts see further gains in store. The&nbsp;median price target&nbsp;on GS stock is $415, implying another 13% gain in coming months.</p>\n<p><b>Bank of America (BAC)</b></p>\n<p>The second-largest U.S. bank by assets, Bank of America, reports its&nbsp;latest quarterly numbers&nbsp;on July 14. And the lender has been signaling that Wall Street should expect solid second-quarter results. Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan has been saying publicly that Bank of America is emerging from the pandemic a stronger and more competitive financial institution, helped by higher capital ratios and higher reserves. In the first quarter, the bank reported record levels of deposits, investment flows and investment banking revenues.</p>\n<p>Bank of America attracted the attention of investors when it announced on June 28 that it will increase its common stock&nbsp;dividend by 17%&nbsp;to 21 cents per share for the third quarter of this year. This came after the bank announced a $25 billion share buyback plan in April. For the second quarter, Bank of America is&nbsp;expected to report&nbsp;EPS of 77 cents, more than doubling Q2 2020’s $0.37.</p>\n<p>In this year’s first quarter, Bank of America posted EPS of 86 cents, up 115% year-over-year and above the consensus forecast of 66 cents. First quarter revenues were up a slight 0.2% to $22.8 billion, beating analysts’ estimates of $22.13 billion. BAC stock has climbed 32% higher year-to-date to $39.65 a share as of July 9. In the past 12 months, the share price has increased 73%. While the stock&nbsp;pulled back in the middle of June, next week’s earnings could spark the next leg higher.</p>\n<p><b>Citigroup (C)</b></p>\n<p>On July 14, we’ll also get earnings from Citigroup. And the latest results come at a time when C stock has been struggling and, at its July 9 level of $66.73 a share, is starting to look a little undervalued compared to its peers.</p>\n<p>Citigroup’s share price is up 11% year-to-date and has risen 34% over the last 52 weeks. Those are decent returns, but they trail the other big banks featured in this article. In the past month, Citigroup’s share price has slumped 14%. The&nbsp;June drop&nbsp;came after the bank warned that its trading revenue will likely decline by 30% this year on weak deal volumes.</p>\n<p>Despite the downward guidance, analysts still expect Citigroup to report earnings growth for the second quarter of this year. The bank is forecast to post EPS of $1.91 next week, which would be a year-over-year increase of nearly 300%. However, revenues are expected to come in at $17.35 billion, which would be about 10% lower than the second quarter of 2020 revenue of $19.77 billion. Many analysts revised down their revenue forecasts after Citigroup warned of rising costs. Chief Financial Officer Mark Mason said on June 16 that he expects&nbsp;second-quarter expenses&nbsp;to increase by as much as $11.6 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Wells Fargo (WFC)</b></p>\n<p>San Francisco-based Wells Fargo, which reports earnings on July 14, recently dominated headlines after it announced that it is closing out all of its existing&nbsp;personal lines of credit&nbsp;and will no longer offer the financial product. Lines of credit typically give retail customers loans of $3,000 to $100,000 and is often used to consolidate higher-interest credit card debt, pay for home renovations and fund college educations.</p>\n<p>The news came as a jolt to Wells Fargo customers, who were informed by the bank that the credit line closures “may have an impact on your credit score.”</p>\n<p>Eliminating the lines of credit is the latest move by Wells Fargo as it reviews its operations coming out the pandemic. The steps taken to date seem to be winning approval from investors. WFC stock is one of the best performing among banks this year. So far this year, Wells Fargo stock has gained 44% and now trades at $43.18. The share price is up 77% over the last year.For its second quarter, analysts expect Wells Fargo to report EPS of 93 cents on $17.78 billion in revenues.</p>\n<p><b>Morgan Stanley (MS)</b></p>\n<p>Investment bank Morgan Stanley won praise from investors a few weeks back after it became the first Wall Street firm to increase its dividend payout after passing the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest stress test. A day after getting the all clear from the central bank, Morgan Stanley announced that it is&nbsp;doubling its quarterly dividend&nbsp;to 70 cents per share starting in this year’s third quarter and spending $12 billion to buy back its own stock. The share repurchase program will run for the next four quarters.</p>\n<p>The positive news for shareholders helped to extend a rally in MS stock, which is now up 31% year-to-date at $87.40 a share, and up 79% over the past 12 months. Similar to rival investment bank Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley’s first quarter revenue toppled analyst expectations. For the&nbsp;first three months&nbsp;of this year, Morgan Stanley reported EPS of $2.22 a share, a substantial improvement over projections of $1.70. And the company’s revenue increased 61% in the first quarter to a record $15.7 billion, beating analysts’ estimates by $1.6 billion.</p>\n<p>For the second quarter&nbsp;reporting on July 15, analysts forecast that Morgan Stanley will report EPS of $1.65 on revenue of $13.96 billion.</p>\n<p><b>U.S. Bancorp (USB)</b></p>\n<p>Probably the least-known bank on this list is Minneapolis, Minnesota-based U.S. Bancorp. While it primarily operates in the Midwest, U.S. Bancorp is currently the fifth-largest American bank with assets approaching $500 billion. Often referred to as a“super regional bank”because of its size and performance, the lender is a&nbsp;long-term holding&nbsp;of legendary investor Warren Buffett’s&nbsp;<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BRK.B</u></b>) holding company. Buffett currently has more than $8 billion invested in USB stock.</p>\n<p>Year-to-date, USB stock is up 22%, opening July 9 at $56.08 a share. In the past 12 months, the share price has climbed 60% higher. However, like the rest of the banking sector, U.S. Bancorp’s stock pulled back over the past month, dipping 6% on worries that inflation is abating and interest rates may remain at historic lows over the medium-term.</p>\n<p>As for its earnings on July 15, analysts expect the lender to&nbsp;report EPS of $1.12&nbsp;for the second quarter on revenues of $5.63 billion.

These two stocks represent, if not failing businesses, at least ailing ones; companies that struggled to keep up with the new economy even before the pandemic shut down large swaths of it. Yet over the past few months they have posted some of the most volatile gains and losses on the market.</p>\n<p>How?</p>\n<p>It’s down to what Real Money's Timothy Collins calls the market of “meme stock hyperbole.” But, he writes, is it really all that different from how trading has always worked?</p>\n<p>Have you ever really thought about the phrases 'to the moon' or 'conviction buy,' and how they mess with out perception of fair value?</p>\n<p>\"Initially, I rolled my eyes at the continued use of the phrase 'To The Moon,'\" Collins says. \"It's not like 'Strong Buy with a price target of $65', for instance. 'To the moon' is completely arbitrary and open to interpretation, but then again so are most things about valuation, when you think about it,\" Collins wrote.</p>\n<p>\"For instance, when an analyst pounds the table on a stock, how is that different from 'to the moon?' Or when someone says, 'all in.' Are they really all in? Did they cash in all their assets, pool the liquidity, and buy every share they possibly could? Probably not. Actually, I'd say definitely not 99.9999% of the time. Of course, there's always that one person,\" Collins said.</p>\n<p>\"But the point isWall Street has been arbitraryfor years. We can't even have a standard rating system. Is it 'Neutral' or 'Hold?' And really, do I want to hold something that is only in the middle of your range? No.\"</p>\n<p>Collins writes, \"The system should be 'buy' or 'sell.' That's it. Black or white.

'To the moon' is completely arbitrary and open to interpretation, but then again so are most things about valuation, when you think about it,\" Collins wrote.\n\"For instance, when an analyst pounds the table on a stock, how is that different from 'to the moon?' Or when someone says, 'all in.' Are they really all in? Did they cash in all their assets, pool the liquidity, and buy every share they possibly could? Probably not. Actually, I'd say definitely not 99.9999% of the time. Of course, there's always that one person,\" Collins said.\n\"But the point isWall Street has been arbitraryfor years. We can't even have a standard rating system. Is it 'Neutral' or 'Hold?' And really, do I want to hold something that is only in the middle of your range? No.\"\nCollins writes, \"The system should be 'buy' or 'sell.' That's it. Black or white.

They both provide high quality IC fabrication services, focusing on logic and various specialty technologies to serve all major sectors of the electronics industry and are defined as pure-play foundries.</p>\n<p>While they have similarities, the two companies are vastly different with different business models. TSMC started as and has always been a leading-edge company, manufacturing chips at the smallest dimensions. UMC, on the other hand, Taiwan’s first semiconductor company, has chosen the 14nm node as the smallest dimension it will manufacture.</p>\n<p>To illustrate the differences in models, Chart 1 shows revenues for both companies based on technology node. The key difference is the &lt;14nm node, where TSMC generated 41.4% of its revenue compared to 0% for UMC.</p>\n<p>Chart 1 also shows that TSMC held $43 billion in revenues in 2020 versus $6 billion for UMC. Importantly, it shows also shows the financial dominance of TSMC, since UMC holds second place in the global foundry market.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf3b088585f8a624c6665040756e940f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 1</span></p>\n<p>Much of TSMC’s revenues are on the &lt;14nm node, which increased from 29.4% of revenues in 2019 to 41.4% in 2020. Since UMC’s smallest node is 28nm/14nm, UMC is investing heavily at that node, and its share of revenue increased from 11.3% in 2019 to 13.6% in 2020. In contrast, in 2020 TSMC’s share at the 28nm/14nm node decreased to 30.8% from 37.7% in 2019.</p>\n<p><b>Expanding Capacity</b></p>\n<p><b>Leading Edge Nodes</b></p>\n<p>TSMC generates about 1/3 of its revenues from the 28nm/14nm, and TSMC has 562,000 wafers/month of 8\" capacity, and 745,000 wafers/month of 12\" capacity. The total capacity is 995,000 wafers/month (12-inch equivalent).</p>\n<p>In TSMC’sQ1 2021 earnings call, TSMC’s VP and CFO Wendell Huang noted:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “In order to meet the increasing demand for our advanced and specialty technologies in the next several years, we have decided to raise our full year 2021 CapEx to be around USD 30 billion. About 80% of the 2021 capital budget will be allocated for advanced process technologies, including 3-nanometer, 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer. About 10% will be spent for advanced packaging and mask making, and about 10% will be spent for specialty technologies.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>TSMC expects to invest about $100 billion through the next 3 years to increase capacity, to support the manufacturing and R&amp;D of leading-edge and specialty technologies. Its N5 is already in its second year of volume production, contributing around 20% of our wafer revenue in 2021. N4 risk production is targeted for second half this year and volume production in 2022.</p>\n<p>Among TSMC's facilities to go online in the next three to four years are the company's&nbsp;fab in Arizona&nbsp;as well as its first 2nm-capable fab in Taiwan. The company needs to build and equip its N5-capable fab in Arizona. The facility will cost around $12 billion, will have a capacity of 20,000 wafer starts per month (WSPM), and will come online in 2024.</p>\n<p><b>28nm Nodes</b></p>\n<p>The global semiconductor shortage is one of the catalysts prompting foundry manufacturers to build new fabs, particularly at the 28nm node, as many automobile chips are manufactured at that node. While I have devoted four Seeking Alpha articles on trying to pin down what devices are undersupplied and could only find microcontrollers, in this article, I will concede for the sake of argument, that it is not due to hoarding but inept manufacturing supply chains.</p>\n<p>As a result, governments are spending heavily on this industry to expand the total production capacity. These free handouts are a second catalyst for new 28nm node fab construction.</p>\n<p>A strong demand for wafers from the consumer electronics industry has led to increased shipments of UMC’s 28nm wafers, which saw 18% sequential revenue growth in the last reported quarter. In addition, UMC has been focused on production for the automotive industry as semiconductors for electric and self-driving cars are expected to be a major growth driver for the company. However, global automotive semiconductors are only a $40 billion market, compared to a global semiconductor market of $525 billion. That is growing as more semiconductors are used per vehicle each year and because EVs use more semiconductors than internal combustion vehicles.</p>\n<p>There is a supply-demand imbalance in mature nodes, as most of the capacity expansion has been in advanced nodes, but companies have not addressed the mature nodes. The technology node is central to the latest auto chip crisis, while at the same time Sony has moved its design of CMOS Integrated Sensors (\"CIS\") for smartphones to 28nm.</p>\n<p>On April 22, TSMC announced plans to build a chip fabrication facility in China is at the receiving end of opposition from critics. The plant is set to make semiconductors built on the mature 28nm process node. The Nanjing plant currently has an installed capacity of 20,000 wafers per month. An investment of $2.8 billion and expecting mass-production in 2023, the expansion will double capacity to 40,000 wafers per month.</p>\n<p>TSMC has global 562,000 wafers/month of 8\" capacity, and 745,000 wafers/month of 12\" capacity. The total capacity is 995,000 wafers/month (12-inch equivalent). The new fab with a 20,000 wafer per month capacity represents just 2% of the company’s total capacity.</p>\n<p>UMC also expanded its production of 28nm (with a migration to 40nm) process at its Nanke 12-inch Fab 12A P6 plant in Taiwan. It currently has an 87,000 wafer per month capacity. The total investment in the capacity expansion plan is estimated to be approximately NT$100 billion. The P6 expansion is scheduled for production in the second quarter of 2023, and has a capacity of just 10,000 wafers per month.</p>\n<p>The P6 program is supported by a multi-year's product alignment between UMC and the involved customers that includes a loading protection mechanism that will ensure the P6 capacity is maintained at a healthy loading level.</p>\n<p>UMC has total 12 fabs in production with combined capacity close to 800,000 wafers per month (8-in equivalent).</p>\n<p><b>Price Per Wafer</b></p>\n<p>Chart 2 shows the gross profit by node for an IC device. It partially explains the rationale behind TSMC’s business model to move to advanced nodes, while also explaining why the company chose to leave its 28nm node undersupplied until recent external forces prompted it to build its China fab.</p>\n<p>Gross profits per 300-mm wafer are $2,835 for a 28nm node versus $8,695 for a 3nm node.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e241c85dd84eb71f54c3b11812e6599\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 2</span></p>\n<p>Chart 3 shows capex spend by node for ICs. Capex spend (building + equipment) at 28nm is $100,000 per wafer, which more than triples to $320,000 at 3nm.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f8f60218f2b914e5847e2eef8aa39c3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 3</span></p>\n<p><b>Customer Base</b></p>\n<p>Chart 4 shows that Apple (AAPL) was the largest customer of TSMC in 2020, representing 21% of revenues. Keep in mind that in addition to TSMC’s processors going into iPhones, TSMC also fabricates the M1, which powers the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini and is Apple's first custom-designed Arm-based chip for Mac.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/354a97772e16c2a05dbccc89556de9eb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"465\"><span>Chart 4</span></p>\n<p>TSMC has upgraded its manufacturing capabilities countless times to keep Apple’s latest chips at the bleeding edge of processor technologies, since its first chip produced for Apple was installed in the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were introduced on September 9, 2014.</p>\n<p>Chart 5 shows that the number of transistors increased from 2 billion for the iPhone 6 to 11.8 billion for the current iPhone 12.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/108ef270fe60691ec5bc8c7f0a061d9c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 5</span></p>\n<p>Thus, investors must consider that:</p>\n<p>Any positive developments from Apple will impact TSMC positively, and positive technological developments from TSMC will impact Apple positively. For example, as long as TSMC is the major manufacturer of Apple chips, growth in Apple or new technologies developed by Apple requiring chips (such as Auto or ADAS), then TSMC will gain.</p>\n<p>Secondly, because of capacity limitations and technology node demands, any expansion in capacity from TSMC will be beneficial to Apple as it moves to smaller nodes while consuming about 25% of TSMC’s chip output on a revenue basis.</p>\n<p>UMC is less transparent and doesn’t provide a breakdown by customer. UMC’s primary customers include premier integrated device manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN)and Intel Mobile(NASDAQ:INTC), plus leading fabless design companies, such as MediaTek(OTCPK:MDTKF), Realtek, Qualcomm(NASDAQ:QCOM)and Novatek.</p>\n<p>In August 2018, UMC announced it would pause research for advancing the productional technology of chips under 10nm nodes. As shown in the figure above, since 2018, the corresponding proportion of the company's advanced processes has been reduced to zero, but for mature nodes such as 65nm and 28nm, the proportion has been increased.</p>\n<p><b>Investor Takeaways</b>: Is TSM Or UMC Stock A Better Buy?</p>\n<p>Both companies compete in the same industry, but their business models are a differentiating metric. TSMC generates most of its revenue on nodes smaller than UMC’s (Chart 1), and most of its planned capex will focus new fabs making ICs at increasing smaller nodes.</p>\n<p><b>TSMC Positives</b></p>\n<p>TSMC’s share of the pure-play foundry market was 57% share in 2020, up from 55% in 2019. UMC’s share was constant at slightly less than 8%.</p>\n<p>TSMC benefits from the smaller nodes. Although capex increases with decreasing nodes (Chart 3), so too does gross profit (Chart 2). Thus, TSM has higher revenues than UMC: $48.2B vs $6.283B.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><p>TSMC also has higher annual earnings (EBITDA): $33B vs. UMC $2.349B.</p></li>\n <li><p>TSMC ($613B) has a higher market cap than UMC ($23.4B).</p></li>\n <li><p>TSMC has more cash on hand: $23.3B vs. UMC ($3.76B).</p></li>\n <li><p>TSMC has a higher EPS (3.99) than UMC (0.59).</p></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Seeking Alpha’s quant ratings are derived by measuring a stock's financial metrics against other stocks in the sector on the basis of value, growth, profitability, momentum and analysts’ earnings revisions. In Table 1, both stocks have high rankings. TSMC has a quant rating of 4.63 and UMC has a quant rating of 4.54.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55db72bd38ddd1d46c2ec7a6ccf6307f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"117\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Gross margin for TSMC and UMC is shown in Table 2. A positive for TSMC, gross margin is significantly ahead of UMC and the average of all foundries. The Street expects 3Q21 gross margin will improve to 52.9%, given a higher revenue scale, tight foundry supply and improved efficiency of 5nm production.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ab6dce4d14398755080d9db48522121\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"126\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>UMC Positives</b></p>\n<p>The comparison of other financial metrics, UMC has stronger financials:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><p>UMC has a lower P/E ratio than TSM: 21.8 vs 28.9</p></li>\n <li><p>UMC has less debt than TSM: $2.47B vs $15.4B.</p></li>\n <li><p>UMC YTD gains are higher at: 10.558 vs. TSM (8.922).</p></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Table 3 shows stock performance in percent growth for TSM and UMC.

They both provide high quality IC fabrication services, focusing on logic and various specialty technologies to serve all major sectors of the electronics industry and are defined as pure-play foundries.\nWhile they have similarities, the two companies are vastly different with different business models. TSMC started as and has always been a leading-edge company, manufacturing chips at the smallest dimensions. UMC, on the other hand, Taiwan’s first semiconductor company, has chosen the 14nm node as the smallest dimension it will manufacture.\nTo illustrate the differences in models, Chart 1 shows revenues for both companies based on technology node. The key difference is the <14nm node, where TSMC generated 41.4% of its revenue compared to 0% for UMC.\nChart 1 also shows that TSMC held $43 billion in revenues in 2020 versus $6 billion for UMC. Importantly, it shows also shows the financial dominance of TSMC, since UMC holds second place in the global foundry market.\nChart 1\nMuch of TSMC’s revenues are on the <14nm node, which increased from 29.4% of revenues in 2019 to 41.4% in 2020. Since UMC’s smallest node is 28nm/14nm, UMC is investing heavily at that node, and its share of revenue increased from 11.3% in 2019 to 13.6% in 2020. In contrast, in 2020 TSMC’s share at the 28nm/14nm node decreased to 30.8% from 37.7% in 2019.\nExpanding Capacity\nLeading Edge Nodes\nTSMC generates about 1/3 of its revenues from the 28nm/14nm, and TSMC has 562,000 wafers/month of 8\" capacity, and 745,000 wafers/month of 12\" capacity. The total capacity is 995,000 wafers/month (12-inch equivalent).\nIn TSMC’sQ1 2021 earnings call, TSMC’s VP and CFO Wendell Huang noted:\n\n “In order to meet the increasing demand for our advanced and specialty technologies in the next several years, we have decided to raise our full year 2021 CapEx to be around USD 30 billion. About 80% of the 2021 capital budget will be allocated for advanced process technologies, including 3-nanometer, 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer. About 10% will be spent for advanced packaging and mask making, and about 10% will be spent for specialty technologies.”\n\nTSMC expects to invest about $100 billion through the next 3 years to increase capacity, to support the manufacturing and R&D of leading-edge and specialty technologies. Its N5 is already in its second year of volume production, contributing around 20% of our wafer revenue in 2021. N4 risk production is targeted for second half this year and volume production in 2022.\nAmong TSMC's facilities to go online in the next three to four years are the company's fab in Arizona as well as its first 2nm-capable fab in Taiwan. The company needs to build and equip its N5-capable fab in Arizona. The facility will cost around $12 billion, will have a capacity of 20,000 wafer starts per month (WSPM), and will come online in 2024.\n28nm Nodes\nThe global semiconductor shortage is one of the catalysts prompting foundry manufacturers to build new fabs, particularly at the 28nm node, as many automobile chips are manufactured at that node. While I have devoted four Seeking Alpha articles on trying to pin down what devices are undersupplied and could only find microcontrollers, in this article, I will concede for the sake of argument, that it is not due to hoarding but inept manufacturing supply chains.\nAs a result, governments are spending heavily on this industry to expand the total production capacity. These free handouts are a second catalyst for new 28nm node fab construction.\nA strong demand for wafers from the consumer electronics industry has led to increased shipments of UMC’s 28nm wafers, which saw 18% sequential revenue growth in the last reported quarter. In addition, UMC has been focused on production for the automotive industry as semiconductors for electric and self-driving cars are expected to be a major growth driver for the company. However, global automotive semiconductors are only a $40 billion market, compared to a global semiconductor market of $525 billion. That is growing as more semiconductors are used per vehicle each year and because EVs use more semiconductors than internal combustion vehicles.\nThere is a supply-demand imbalance in mature nodes, as most of the capacity expansion has been in advanced nodes, but companies have not addressed the mature nodes. The technology node is central to the latest auto chip crisis, while at the same time Sony has moved its design of CMOS Integrated Sensors (\"CIS\") for smartphones to 28nm.\nOn April 22, TSMC announced plans to build a chip fabrication facility in China is at the receiving end of opposition from critics. The plant is set to make semiconductors built on the mature 28nm process node. The Nanjing plant currently has an installed capacity of 20,000 wafers per month. An investment of $2.8 billion and expecting mass-production in 2023, the expansion will double capacity to 40,000 wafers per month.\nTSMC has global 562,000 wafers/month of 8\" capacity, and 745,000 wafers/month of 12\" capacity. The total capacity is 995,000 wafers/month (12-inch equivalent). The new fab with a 20,000 wafer per month capacity represents just 2% of the company’s total capacity.\nUMC also expanded its production of 28nm (with a migration to 40nm) process at its Nanke 12-inch Fab 12A P6 plant in Taiwan. It currently has an 87,000 wafer per month capacity. The total investment in the capacity expansion plan is estimated to be approximately NT$100 billion. The P6 expansion is scheduled for production in the second quarter of 2023, and has a capacity of just 10,000 wafers per month.\nThe P6 program is supported by a multi-year's product alignment between UMC and the involved customers that includes a loading protection mechanism that will ensure the P6 capacity is maintained at a healthy loading level.\nUMC has total 12 fabs in production with combined capacity close to 800,000 wafers per month (8-in equivalent).\nPrice Per Wafer\nChart 2 shows the gross profit by node for an IC device. It partially explains the rationale behind TSMC’s business model to move to advanced nodes, while also explaining why the company chose to leave its 28nm node undersupplied until recent external forces prompted it to build its China fab.\nGross profits per 300-mm wafer are $2,835 for a 28nm node versus $8,695 for a 3nm node.\nChart 2\nChart 3 shows capex spend by node for ICs. Capex spend (building + equipment) at 28nm is $100,000 per wafer, which more than triples to $320,000 at 3nm.\nChart 3\nCustomer Base\nChart 4 shows that Apple (AAPL) was the largest customer of TSMC in 2020, representing 21% of revenues. Keep in mind that in addition to TSMC’s processors going into iPhones, TSMC also fabricates the M1, which powers the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini and is Apple's first custom-designed Arm-based chip for Mac.\nChart 4\nTSMC has upgraded its manufacturing capabilities countless times to keep Apple’s latest chips at the bleeding edge of processor technologies, since its first chip produced for Apple was installed in the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were introduced on September 9, 2014.\nChart 5 shows that the number of transistors increased from 2 billion for the iPhone 6 to 11.8 billion for the current iPhone 12.\nChart 5\nThus, investors must consider that:\nAny positive developments from Apple will impact TSMC positively, and positive technological developments from TSMC will impact Apple positively. For example, as long as TSMC is the major manufacturer of Apple chips, growth in Apple or new technologies developed by Apple requiring chips (such as Auto or ADAS), then TSMC will gain.\nSecondly, because of capacity limitations and technology node demands, any expansion in capacity from TSMC will be beneficial to Apple as it moves to smaller nodes while consuming about 25% of TSMC’s chip output on a revenue basis.\nUMC is less transparent and doesn’t provide a breakdown by customer. UMC’s primary customers include premier integrated device manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN)and Intel Mobile(NASDAQ:INTC), plus leading fabless design companies, such as MediaTek(OTCPK:MDTKF), Realtek, Qualcomm(NASDAQ:QCOM)and Novatek.\nIn August 2018, UMC announced it would pause research for advancing the productional technology of chips under 10nm nodes. As shown in the figure above, since 2018, the corresponding proportion of the company's advanced processes has been reduced to zero, but for mature nodes such as 65nm and 28nm, the proportion has been increased.\nInvestor Takeaways: Is TSM Or UMC Stock A Better Buy?\nBoth companies compete in the same industry, but their business models are a differentiating metric. TSMC generates most of its revenue on nodes smaller than UMC’s (Chart 1), and most of its planned capex will focus new fabs making ICs at increasing smaller nodes.\nTSMC Positives\nTSMC’s share of the pure-play foundry market was 57% share in 2020, up from 55% in 2019. UMC’s share was constant at slightly less than 8%.\nTSMC benefits from the smaller nodes. Although capex increases with decreasing nodes (Chart 3), so too does gross profit (Chart 2). Thus, TSM has higher revenues than UMC: $48.2B vs $6.283B.\n\nTSMC also has higher annual earnings (EBITDA): $33B vs. UMC $2.349B.\nTSMC ($613B) has a higher market cap than UMC ($23.4B).\nTSMC has more cash on hand: $23.3B vs. UMC ($3.76B).\nTSMC has a higher EPS (3.99) than UMC (0.59).\n\nSeeking Alpha’s quant ratings are derived by measuring a stock's financial metrics against other stocks in the sector on the basis of value, growth, profitability, momentum and analysts’ earnings revisions. In Table 1, both stocks have high rankings. TSMC has a quant rating of 4.63 and UMC has a quant rating of 4.54.\n\nGross margin for TSMC and UMC is shown in Table 2. A positive for TSMC, gross margin is significantly ahead of UMC and the average of all foundries. The Street expects 3Q21 gross margin will improve to 52.9%, given a higher revenue scale, tight foundry supply and improved efficiency of 5nm production.\n\nUMC Positives\nThe comparison of other financial metrics, UMC has stronger financials:\n\nUMC has a lower P/E ratio than TSM: 21.8 vs 28.9\nUMC has less debt than TSM: $2.47B vs $15.4B.\nUMC YTD gains are higher at: 10.558 vs. TSM (8.922).\n\nTable 3 shows stock performance in percent growth for TSM and UMC. In the past year, UMC stock has outperformed TSMC, and did so in the 3-year and 5-year period. But in a 10-year period, TSMC is the better choice.\n\nTSMC is the clear winner over UMC going forward. The company chose its strategy to build chips at the <7nm node. The fact that it is building a 28nm fab in China, the “sweet spot” for UMC, coupled with a new 28nm SMIC (OTCQX:SMICY) fab, will mean lost market share at this node for UMC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":268,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
