GlobalFoundries could earn from AI's packaging demand without making the GPU.
On October 8, $GFS announced a manufacturing agreement with TSMC, described as worth $2B, to supply silicon interposers for its CoWoS advanced-packaging ecosystem.
GF plans added capacity in Malta, New York. Volume production is expected to begin ramping in H1 2028, under an initial five-year agreement.
That is a concrete route into AI spending. It is not proof of $2B in guaranteed revenue: the announcement doesn't disclose minimum purchases, project capex or margins.
My decision: WATCH.
I'm watching the ramp turn into paid shipments and cash flow after capex. Delays or poor returns on the added capacity would weaken the case.
AI demand can create business for suppliers beyond the GPU makers. Shareholders still need profitable execution at a sensible stock price.
