与此同时,台积电表示第一季度毛利率有望突破47%,高于1月中旬预测的44.5-46.6%,而营运毛利率有望达到35%,高于此前目标32-34%。
台积电公布今年1-2月累计营收为982.6亿新台币(32.4亿美元),达到第一季度修订后销售目标的66.8%。(元器件交易网郭路平 译)

TSMC revises upward 1Q14 guidance
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has revised upward its guidance for the first quarter of 2014 and also provided additional comments on its outlook for the quarter.
First-quarter revenues will reach NT$147 billion (US$4.84 billion), up 0.8% sequentially compared to a 5-7% decline forecast previously.
Meanwhile, first-quarter gross margin is expected to top 47% compared to 44.5-46.6% forecast in mid-January, while operating margin is expected to reach 35%, up from the previous target of 32-34%, TSMC said.
"The upside to the first quarter guidance comes mainly from the increases in demand for our 28nm wafers and from customers" active restocking of their inventories," said Lora Ho, senior vice president and CFO of TSMC. "The first quarter upside is perhaps a good prelude to an already anticipated strong year."
TSMC posted revenues of NT$98.26 billion in the first two months of 2014, reaching 66.8% of its revised first-quarter sales target.
