GlobalFoundries forecasts lower Q1 revenue over tariffs

GlobalFoundries, a United States contract chipmaker, has projected lower first-quarter revenue and profit due to ongoing industry challenges.

These challenges include potential impacts from tariffs affecting the automotive sector and pressures in the smartphone market.

The company expects first-quarter revenue between US$1.55 billion and US$1.60 billion, which is below analyst estimates of US$1.66 billion, according to LSEG data.

Adjusted earnings per share are forecasted to be between 24 cents and 34 cents, with the midpoint slightly below the expected 32 cents per share.
