-- 据《日经亚洲评论》报道,台积电(TSMC,股票代码:TPE:2330)董事长兼首席执行官魏志强表示,受中东局势紧张影响,天然气和芯片制造材料成本上涨可能挤压利润空间,并加剧整体经济的不确定性。 台积电指出,包括存储器在内的零部件价格上涨也可能抑制价格敏感型消费品的需求,尽管高端设备依然保持韧性。魏志强表示,公司正在密切关注与液化天然气、氦气和氢气相关的供应链风险,但多元化的采购渠道和库存缓冲应能限制运营中断。 此外,魏志强还表示,英特尔和特斯拉既是台积电的客户,也是其竞争对手,并指出行业对技术领先地位、制造实力和客户信任的依赖程度没有改变。他还补充说,产能紧张正在推动晶圆厂的持续扩张,计划到2028年在台湾、美国和日本新增产能,同时2纳米制程和下一代技术也在不断取得进展。 报告补充道,这家芯片制造商发表上述评论之际,正值其公布创纪录的季度业绩,利润同比增长超过58%,营收增长超过35%,这主要得益于人工智能带来的强劲需求。 (市场动态新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话。这些信息据信来自可靠来源,但可能包含传闻和推测。准确性无法保证。)
