Taiwanese chipmaker Nanya plans $6 billion in spending in 2027, riding AI boom

Taiwanese memory chipmaker Nanya Technology said on Friday it plans capital spending of more than T$200 billion ($6.2 billion) next year, roughly four times this year’s ‌figure, amid soaring ⁠demand ⁠for memory chips as it rides an AI boom.

President Pei-Ing Lee told an online press briefing that the preliminary expenditure plan aims to help ramp up spending on a new plant, although the budget has yet to receive board approval. Lee was speaking after Nanya reported unaudited second-quarter revenue of T$82.55 billion, up 684% from a year earlier.
