Approximately 60% of the Company’s revenue is generated from manufacturing AI and high-performance computing (HPC) chips for leading semiconductor design companies, including Nvidia, Apple, Broadcom, Meta, Amazon and Alphabet. The Company offers the most manufacturing capacity at leading-edge nodes, a capability in high-demand as it enables customers to design more power-ef icient chips against a backdrop of increasingly power-constrained data centers. The Company’s execution over the past several years has been nearly lawless, providing its customers with significant benefits in planning multi-year road maps that the entire IT industry is now adopting. The stock recently re-rated higher, exceeding our 10% maximum portfolio weight. As a result, we slightly trimmed our positions during the quarter.”
