Memory continues to supply shortages, becomes one of the Taiwan stocks since this year's signature.Dynamic random access memory (DRAM), NAND Flash storage type (Flash memory), and NOR Flash (encoding type Flash memory) 3 big memory, this year saw the most short, not only gains the most long record of out of stock will continue all the way until next year.
After five years of losses, its macro like bath fire phoenix, formal turn this year;In the first half of the EPS (after-tax net profit) per share 0.47 yuan, the third quarter quarterly, in more the EPS1.2 yuan good grades, main products NOR Flash out of stock, and get the macro shares this year to come all the way up, become the taiex 1 big surprise.

Transformation of niche type of customized products
Winbond electricity sales monthly high of 17 years
After legal analysis, the function of the CPU (central processing unit) more and more, because the process is different, can't integrated in the CPU, often one NOR the demand of the Flash.Automotive, industrial NOR Flash also on the rise, will the consumption capacity of this kind of large capacity, industrial automation need high computation, random storage requires NOR Flash, are more imagination space for a long time.
Currently popular macro is already the world NOR Flash bibcock, ranked second winbond electricity equally well.Kang and self-run securities department assistant manager Lin Cangxian said NOR Flash again due to the tight supply pressure increases, the industry from the fourth quarter contract price will be 15% higher, beneficiaries first winbond electricity with macros.Winbond EPS0.81 yuan for all of last year, this year the first 3 quarter EPS1.05 yuan.Winbond electricity just released on October monthly consolidated revenue of 4.491 billion yuan, renewal of record 17 years since 2000.
