Bible 1Q23 – Foundry: prolonged inventory correction, second half recovery still on.

Today, we are publishing the Foundry section of our 19th Tech Infrastructure Quarterly Bible. The Tech Bible is a must-read for any tech investor, as it summarizes the quarterly earnings reports from the over 130 companies we track, providing an update on our key perspectives and convictions.
A deeper than expected inventory correction is taking place across most end-markets, driving lower shipments and profitability across the industry. Confidence in a second half recovery remains high but now at slower pace than previously expected. TSMC is a notable exception, guiding for sequential revenue growth of 25% in the second half of the year and we expect a material FCF beat in 2024.
