Analysis
FY2025 Q3 (Oct-Dec 2024): AI chip production continues expanding. TSMC N3/N2 ramp for AI accelerators. Multiple hyperscalers (Google TPU, Amazon Trainium, Microsoft Maia) adding to AI chip wafer demand beyond just NVIDIA. HBM4 development underway. Total revenue ~¥640B (~$4.2B). Semiconductor Materials ~40% = ~¥256B. AI's share of total semiconductor wafer demand has grown meaningfully over 2 years but remains bounded: smartphones (~30% of wafer demand), automotive (~15%), PC (~10%), industrial/IoT (~15%), data center including AI (~20%, of which AI is perhaps 40-50% = ~8-10% of total). Shin-Etsu's exposure tracks the overall wafer demand mix. Increasing to 5.0% for this quarter reflects the continued growth of AI wafer consumption. Math: ¥640B × 5.0% = ~¥32.0B (~$210M) estimated AI revenue.
