DB HiTek profit jumps 43% as TSMC, Samsung scale back 8-inch capacity
DB HiTek has experienced dramatic growth in its operating profit, which increased by 43% in the second quarter. This surge is attributed to a constrained supply of 8-inch foundry services, as industry giants TSMC and Samsung cut back on their production capacity. Furthermore, the rising demand for power semiconductors has kept DB HiTek's fabrication plants operating near full capacity. In response to robust market conditions, the company is also preparing to raise prices further, aiming to bolster its profitability.
