SAN FRANCISCO — TSMC's announcement last week that it expects its quarterly sales to decline precipitously quarter-to-quarter put the chip foundry market on notice as it begins what is expected to be a challenging year.
TSMC (Hsinchu, Taiwan) said it expects sales to decline nearly 14% quarter-to-quarter to between $7.3 billion and $7.4 billion. It would be the largest quarter-to-quarter sales decline for the world's leading foundry since 2009.
