The foundry now expects a loss of 18 cents a share and revenue of $178 million compared with previous targets for a loss of 20 cents a share and revenue of $171 million.

Analysts had expected a loss of 19 cents a share and revenue of $170 million, on average, according to Reuters Research.

Chartered's U.S.-traded shares (CHRT: news, chart, profile) ended Monday up 2.6 percent at $9.75. Chartered is a Singapore-based company that makes semiconductors for other chip companies; its stock is traded on the Nasdaq and the Singapore exchanges.

Chartered held steady its expectations for average selling prices, attributing its improved loss due to increased demand. Overall factory utilization is expected at 69 percent compared with an earlier projection for utilization of 66 percent.

"Compared to the third quarter, we are seeing healthy growth in each of our market sectors and in both advanced and mature technologies," said Chartered CFO George Thomas, according to a statement.

The fourth quarter ends this month and actual results will be announced Jan. 30.
