Post to SlashdotUMC’s net sales in September achieved $171 07 million, down 6.2% compared to the previous month, but still 43.84% better than a year before. The company’s revenue for the 9 month was roughly 1.419 billion, 1.30% decrease from 2001.
As we told you several times, there will be no industry recovery this year. Hence, UMC is likely to report revenue decline in 2002 from the previous year. Moreover, with IBM entering the market of semiconductors’ contract manufacturing, UMC, just like TSMC and the others, may eventually start loosing its market share. Luckily for them, the process will probably not start this year. While in 2003, especially in the second half, analysts predict that the demand on personal computers will rise, as a result, the market of semiconductors will prosper.
