TSMC Q1 earnings edge above estimates TAIPEI, April 25 (Reuters) - sg.biz.yahoo.com TSMC , the world's largest contract chipmaker, said on Thursday it made earnings per share of T$0.39 in the first quarter, up from T$0.26 in the last three months of 2001 and slightly above analysts' estimates. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) had been expected to post a first-quarter EPS of T$0.32, according to a Reuters survey of six analysts. Though the earnings are down from EPS of T$0.50 per share in the year-ago period, it marks TSMC's third straight quarter of improving profits after a severe downturn in the semiconductor sector in 2001. TSMC has already squarely met its own guidance that first-quarter revenues would improve five to 10 percent from the final three months of 2001, posting an eight percent rise to T$35.79 billion. The results were issued after close of trade on Thursday. TSMC's Taiwan-listed shares fell 3.16 percent to T$92.00, while the benchmark TAIEX <.TWII> share index declined 1.55 percent. The company's net profit fell 22 percent year-on-year to T$6.59 billion. The Netherlands' Philips Electronics NV is one of TSMC's largest shareholders with about a 22 percent stake. (US$1 = T$35)
