$GlobalFoundries(GFS.US)$ A semiconductor fabrication specialist, GlobalFoundries is certainly worth more than the sum of its parts. Technically, you can apply a granular approach to assessing the company by its inventory of silicon, which ranges dramatically in price from regular grade to the hyper-pure variety.But that would grievously miss the point about the company, which was already relevant before COVID-19. Particularly, GlobalFoundries’ emphasis on integrated circuits (ICs) that undergird virtually all technological innovations has been an indispensable focus. Add in the pandemic’s pressure on global supply chains, and the foundry’s upcoming initial public offering (IPO) becomes must-watch stuff.
