Factors to Consider

GlobalFoundries is expected to have continued benefiting from its portfolio strength, growing investments and expanding global manufacturing footprint in first-quarter 2022.

The company is likely to have capitalized on the strengthening demand for pervasive semiconductor solutions in the to-be-reported quarter.

It is expected to have continued gaining from its solid position in the semiconductor supply chain.

Increasing wafer shipments are likely to have contributed well to the company’s top-line growth in the quarter under review.

The impacts of the growing momentum across smart mobile devices, datacenter, automobile and IoT markets are likely to get reflected in the upcoming results.

Strengthening traction in areas such as near-field communication display and image sensing is likely to have been a tailwind.

Accelerating non-wafer revenues are expected to have aided the company’s performance further.

However, uncertainties related to the macro environment, including the economic impact of the pandemic and geopolitical tensions, are expected to have been headwinds for the company in the to-be-reported quarter.
