| From: Sam | 11/23/2021 9:59:28 AM | | | | | | Japan to allocate $5.2 bln to fund chip plants by TSMC, others - Nikkei
Reuters November 23, 2021 08:11:00 AM ET
Nov 23 (Reuters) - Japan will allocate about 600 billion yen ($5.2 billion) from its fiscal 2021 supplementary budget to support advanced semiconductor manufacturers including the world's No. 1 contract chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), Nikkei reported on Tuesday.
As part of the stimulus package, the Japanese government will invest about 400 billion yen in a new factory to be set up by TSMC in Kumamoto prefecture, southwest Japan, according to Nikkei s.nikkei.com .
TSMC said earlier this month it would build a $7 billion chip plant in Japan with Sony Group Corp, a move that was welcomed by the Japanese government.
The remaining 200 billion yen will go toward setting up other factories with several projects under consideration, including by U.S. memory chipmaker Micron Technology Inc and Japan'sKioxia Holdings, the report said.
Japan's chip-making sector, the world's biggest in the 1980s, has struggled to maintain its competitive edge, going into a steady decline in the past three decades, while rivals such as Taiwanese manufacturers gained ground.
TSMC, Micron and Kioxia did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. |

MT NEWSWIRES 11:09 AM ET 12/29/2021
Symbol Last Price Change | MU | 96.48 | +3.54 (+3.8089%) | | WDC | 66.86 | +4.02 (+6.3972%) | | QUOTES AS OF 12:41:31 PM ET 12/29/2021 |
11:09 AM EST, 12/29/2021 (MT Newswires) -- Potential disruptions to the memory industry as a result of the lockdown of the Chinese city Xi'an are "likely to result in favorable near-term implications," said Wedbush analyst Matt Bryson on Wednesday, "with pricing trends pulled forward and first-quarter contract negotiations weighted in the manufacturers' favor."
The lockdown was precipitated by the outbreak of the omicron variant, and will likely impact Samsung -- which has a NAND production facility in the area -- and Micron Technology's(MU) site which does testing and packaging. Micron is said to be in talks with the local government regarding continued production.
"[A]ny rising tide should benefit all names," Wedbush said in a report to clients, "including Micron, Samsung, Hynix, etc." Wedbush noted it prefers Western Digital(WDC) , but the memory sector as a whole is expecting "strong demand trends through 2022."
Wedbush has a neutral rating and a $100 price target on Micron. The stock has an average rating of outperform and price targets ranging from $58 to $165, according to analysts polled by Capital IQ.
Wedbush has an outperform rating and $70 price target on Western Digital(WDC). The stock has an average rating of outperform and price targets ranging from $55 to $97, according to analysts polled by Capital IQ.
Micron is up more than 3% in Wednesday morning trading. Western Digital(WDC) is up nearly 6% and trading above its 200-day moving average for the first time since August.
