Description: GFS Globalfoundries December 19, 2025
GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ:GFS) is a U.S.-based semiconductor foundry that offers mainstream wafer-fabrication services and a portfolio of devices such as microprocessors, mobile-application processors, baseband and network processors, RF modems, microcontrollers, and power-management units. The firm was incorporated in 2008 and is headquartered in Malta, New York.
Key operating metrics (as of FY 2024) include ~$7 billion in revenue, a fab-utilization rate hovering around 78 % across its 12-inch production lines, and an R&D spend of roughly 9 % of sales, reflecting its focus on advanced 12-nm FD-SOI and 28-nm processes. Growth is driven by rising demand for AI-accelerated data-center chips, the U.S. CHIPS Act incentives that favor domestic fabs, and a tightening global supply chain that is shifting volume toward “friend-shoring” manufacturers.
