GlobalFoundries (GFS) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ: GFS) is a global semiconductor foundry specializing in the manufacture of integrated circuits for a broad range of applications. As a pure-play foundry, the company offers wafer fabrication, design enablement services, advanced packaging and test solutions. Its technology portfolio spans legacy process nodes through specialized platforms for RF-SOI, silicon carbide, silicon photonics, embedded memory and FD-SOI process technologies.

The company was established in 2009 when Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) spun off its manufacturing operations into a joint venture with Mubadala Investment Company of Abu Dhabi. In 2015, GlobalFoundries expanded its footprint by acquiring IBM’s Microelectronics business, bringing in additional manufacturing capabilities and intellectual property. Over time, the company has refocused its roadmap to serve specialized and differentiated market segments rather than competing at the bleeding edge of process technology.

GlobalFoundries maintains manufacturing sites in North America, Europe and Asia, including wafer fabrication facilities in New York and Vermont in the United States, Dresden in Germany and Singapore. These fabs support customers in markets such as communications infrastructure, automotive electronics, high-performance computing, consumer devices and the Internet of Things. Through partnerships with equipment vendors and design-tool providers, the company delivers a full suite of process design kits and turnkey services to accelerate customer product development.

Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Dr. Thomas Caulfield, GlobalFoundries emphasizes reliability, supply resiliency and differentiated process offerings to meet the evolving needs of its diverse customer base. The management team continues to invest in research collaborations and industry alliances to enhance foundry capabilities, optimize production efficiency and strengthen GlobalFoundries’ position as a key partner for semiconductor OEMs worldwide.
