Will UMC be next?? If so, should help S3. Taipei, Aug. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's No.1 maker of custom-made chips, will raise prices of some products by 15 percent to 25 percent starting in September, a move that will boost earnings by NT$3 billion ($94 million) in the second half, the Commercial Times reported, citing unnamed company sources. TSMC told clients that it will charge higher prices on flash memory chips, chip-sets and other products, all of whose demand is rising on the popularity of mobile phones, computers and consumer electronics appliances, the paper said. The move is expected to boost TSMC's net profit margin to more than 40 percent in the fourth quarter from 34 percent in the second, the report said. TSMC said last month net earnings in the June quarter rose 60 percent to NT$6 billion from a year ago. (Commercial Times p.3 8/25/99) Aug/24/1999 20:55
