Analysis
FY2024 Q4 (Jan-Mar 2024): AI demand now a major industry theme. TSMC HPC segment ~45%+ of revenue. NVIDIA data center revenue hit $22.6B in their Jan quarter. HBM production capacity being aggressively expanded. Full year FY2024 revenue ~¥2.4T (~$16B). Semiconductor Materials ~¥960B (~40%). For the full year, Shin-Etsu's semiconductor materials segment showed recovery driven by advanced logic/memory demand. However, Shin-Etsu serves the entire semiconductor supply chain — roughly 55-60% of global 300mm wafer demand goes to foundry/logic, ~25% to DRAM, ~15% to NAND. AI chips represent a growing but still minority share of leading-edge foundry starts (~25-30% of TSMC leading-edge by early 2024) and HBM a growing share of DRAM wafer starts (~15-20%). Conservative 3.5% for this quarter. Math: ¥600B × 3.5% = ~¥21.0B (~$140M) estimated AI revenue.
