Wafer shipments and revenue have declined slightly when compared to the same quarter in 2023.

I'm gonna say that their greater than 10 nm business plan will only be sustainable for so long. Less than $2B per quarter is not enough to expand into new fabs or put a lot into R&D even with government subsidies.

Add to that the new fabs for mature nodes the Chinese are building and GF will have an even bigger problem in the not so far future.

It's nice to see that they're still alive and kicking despite not having any cutting edge fab. It would be nice to break TSMC's monopoly, though - shame that no one can at the moment.
