Since the Ukraine conflict began on the 24th, Global Foundries (US foundry with 50% of US market share) has been outperforming Taiwan Semiconductors (bottom chart), and is now flat year to date.

Expect this company to benefit from decentralization of chip supply chains as chip designers look to mitigate geopolitical risks. That been said, they won’t be able to replicate everything TSM can do; their tech stops at 12nm production vs Taiwan Semis at 4nm.

However, For specialty/pervasive semis 12nm+ there’s a mid-high single digit % supply shortfall which is expected to persist for the next few years based on forecasts from the foundry industry.

Notice India and South Africa are part of the BRICS which have been neutral / aligning with Russia, long with OPEC and Mexico.
