New Delhi [India], : Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has further solidified its dominance in the global pure-play wafer foundry market, growing its market share to 67.6 per cent in the first quarter of this year, according to a report by Taipei-based research firm TrendForce Corp, reported by Focus Taiwan.
Although TSMC's revenue declined by 5 per cent quarter-on-quarter to USD 25.52 billion due to seasonal slowdowns, the company's market share still edged up from 67.1 per cent in the previous quarter. TrendForce attributed this performance to continued strong demand for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications, as well as accelerated client orders seeking to mitigate risks from ongoing U.S. tariff policies.
TSMC's closest competitor, South Korea's Samsung Electronics, saw its market share fall to 7.7 per cent, down from 8.1 per cent in the prior quarter. Samsung's foundry sales dropped by 11.3 per cent to USD 2.89 billion over the same period.
China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. maintained its third-place ranking with a 6.0 per cent market share, ahead of Taiwan's United Microelectronics Corp. at 4.7 per cent, and U.S.-based GlobalFoundries at 4.2 per cent.
Rounding out the top 10 were China's Huahong Group , Taiwan's Vanguard International Semiconductor Corp. , Israel's Tower Semiconductor , China's NexChip , and Taiwan's Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. .
TrendForce noted that the top 10 foundries accounted for a combined USD 36.40 billion in sales during the first quarter, representing about 97 per cent of the global total an increase from 96 per cent in the previous quarter despite an overall 5.4 per cent drop in revenue across the group.

Italian energy major Eni sells 20% stake in renewable arm Plenitude to Ares for $2.3 billion: Details here

Italian energy group Eni SpA has sold a 20 per cent holding in its renewable business Plenitude to Ares, a US-based alternative credit management firm The deal is set at about $2.3 billion, marking the holding company's second sale of a stake in the unit, reported Bloomberg. The transaction is based on the value of Plenitude's equity shares, which is around $11.4 billion. The enterprise value stood at more than $13.7 billion, the renewable business said in a statement. Eni said in May it was in exclusive talks with the company over the sale, the news agency said. 'The valuation of Plenitude has positive implications for the stock as it allows further value to be unlocked in one of Eni's satellites,' reported Bloomberg citing Massimo Bonisoli, an analyst at Equita Group SpA. The company completed the sale of 10 per cent of Plenitude to Energy Infrastructure Partners earlier this year. Eni shares remained stable as of 10:33 am local time, while the Milan stock index fell by 0.6 per cent. Eni stock initially gained as much as 0.9 per cent. The energy major has said it also plans to sell stakes in its businesses in biofuels and mobility arm Enilive, where US-based KKR & Co bought a 25 per cent holding earlier this year. It is in exclusive talks for a stake in its carbon capture and storage unit, the news agency said. Milan-based Plenitude was set up to hold Eni's energy retailing and renewables businesses. Initial plans for a public listing of Plenitude have been put on hold. Ares, an alternative asset manager overseeing nearly $550 billion, has recently opened an office in Milan, Italy's financial hub, in order to expand its business in that market.
