GlobalFoundries reports Q2 EPS 42c, consensus 36c

Reports Q2 revenue $1.688B, consensus $1.68B. “In the second quarter, the GF team delivered strong financial results above the midpoints of the Non-IFRS guidance ranges for revenue and gross margin, and earnings per share exceeded the high end of the guidance range,” said Tim Breen, CEO of GF. “Continued momentum across our Automotive and Communications Infrastructure and Datacenter end markets, enabled double digit percent year-over-year revenue growth in the second quarter for both businesses. As we await a return to meaningful growth across the consumer-driven end markets, I am pleased with the steps GF is taking to broaden the long term value proposition to our customers, through the expected acquisition of MIPS, as well as establishing our China for China foundry partnership.”
