About GlobalFoundries
GlobalFoundries makes physical chips for other companies, turning circuit designs into working silicon. Its output includes processors used in phones and computers, radio components for wireless devices, chips that manage power in electronics, small mechanical sensors built at microscopic scale, and control chips found in countless everyday machines. The devices built from its chips reach into much of the technology people use daily.
Rather than designing and selling its own branded electronics, GlobalFoundries runs fabrication plants that produce chips on behalf of clients, essentially renting out manufacturing capability and technical know-how. Customers bring chip designs to the company, which handles the wafer processing and related engineering needed to turn those designs into finished silicon.
The company traces its start to 2009 and runs its main offices out of Malta, New York. Its stock trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker GFS.

- What they said
- GlobalFoundries reported strong Q2 FY2026 results with revenue of $1.786 billion (up 9% sequentially, 6% YoY) and record non-IFRS gross margins that exceeded the high end of guidance. Management highlighted nearly 500 basis points of YoY gross margin expansion driven by a richer revenue mix (manufacturing and technology services), structural cost reductions, and manufacturing productivity. Key strategic focuses discussed were: 1) the launch and commercialization push for Quantum Technology Solutions to enable scale manufacturing of QPUs; 2) accelerating momentum in optical networking and AI data center opportunities (silicon photonics, SiGe, NPO/CPO) with comms infrastructure and data center end market growing over 60% YoY in Q2; and 3) growth from IP, software and custom silicon including the MIPS and Synopsys ARC IP acquisitions, which are expected to add material technology services revenue in 2026. Management emphasized strong design-win momentum, flexible capacity within existing fabs to ramp photonics/SiGe, and CHIPS Act / U.S. government partnerships supporting silicon photonics expansion. They reiterated long-term targets (30%+ gross margin trajectory and a 40% exit run rate by 2028) and detailed segment-level expectations (mobile weakness, IoT and automotive recovery, comms/data center strong acceleration).
- Guidance
- Technology services revenue contribution for full-year 2026 expected at approximately $100M to $120M (up from prior $60M-$100M). Management expects to reach approximately 30% gross margin before the end of 2026 and indicated further margin expansion (midpoint of inferred guide implies ~450 bps of additional margin expansion). CapEx for 2026 implied around 15%–20% of revenue, with expectation to be toward the higher end of that range. Segment outlook: mobile down low-teens for the year, automotive low-double-digit growth (recovery in H2), IoT up ~10%–15% YoY, comms infrastructure/data center up ~50%–60% YoY near term. Product/market ramps: NPO beginning ramp in 2027, CPO ramp beginning in 2028.
- Risks flagged
- Capacity constraints in high-growth corridors (silicon photonics, SiGe) and the timing of capacity additions; exposure to cyclical end markets (mobile weakness driven by memory shortage); customer shipment timing variability (noted in automotive); competitive pressure in silicon photonics and potential customer concentration (though management argues diversity of customers); time lag between incurring CapEx and revenue generation (tool install/qualification lead times); geopolitical risks and forward-looking uncertainty noted in standard disclaimers.
