> "Complete failure in semiconductor industry" Isn't this disingenuous? Phillips owns a 24% stake, or 99 million shares, in ASML. Philips is granting the underwriters an option for up to nine million shares. Philips also still holds about 1.3 billion TSMC shares, representing approximately 5.0 percent of TSMC’s issued stock. ASML is a monopoly that is literally the only supplier for most cutting edge equipment used by semi-conductor fabs globally (TSML, Intel, etc). They make it all possible. In this regard, Phillips has become more of a holding company than an electronics operation itself.
