President Joe Biden will sign the CHIPS and Science Act into law next week. Along with more than $200 billion to boost federal spending on research and education, the bill provides $52 billion in subsidies and tax incentives to U.S. and foreign chipmakers to expand semiconductor manufacturing within U.S. borders.<\/p>\n
The portion of the legislation that applies to chip manufacturing is based on two fears: first, the economic threat of Chinese market power should China somehow gain control of Taiwan, and second, the threat to U.S. national security if China becomes the dominant power in chip design and manufacturing.<\/p>\n
China and Taiwan currently combine to snag about 45% of chipmaking revenue, with China accounting for 24% and Taiwan 21%. Whether such a combination ever comes to pass is arguable, and how the combination would behave is essentially anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n
The legislation makes clear that companies building or expanding operations in China are not eligible for subsidies. The legislation does not address allegations of intellectual property theft by the Chinese, it does not prohibit joint ventures with Chinese companies, and it does not establish new limits on U.S. exports to China or on Chinese investment in the United States.\n<\/p>\n
Here are five companies that operate or plan to build manufacturing plants in the United States and stand to benefit from the CHIPS and Science Act.<\/p>\n
New York-based GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ: GFS) is the fourth-largest contract chipmaker in the world, with a market cap of around $28.3 billion. The company manufactures a wide range of chips at 10 fabs located in Germany, Singapore (five) and the United States (four). The company announced last week that it has agreed with STMicroelectronics to build a new fab in France. GlobalFoundries already had plans to expand its fabs in New York and Vermont and can add the new federal dollars to the expansion work.<\/p>\n
Since mid-July, the company\u2019s shares have risen by more than 16%. GlobalFoundries does not pay a dividend.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t
