Taiwan Semiconductor Expands in Japan: Sony and Denso Among First Customers

On Tuesday, ON Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) and tier-one automotive supplier Denso Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNZOF#OTC">DNZOF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNZOY#OTC">DNZOY</a>) announced that they are strengthening their long-term relationship to support the procurement of autonomous driving (AD) and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42522062/onsemi-and-denso-collaborate-for-a-strengthened-relationship" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technologies</a>.
ON Semiconductor has supplied Denso with the latest intelligent automotive sensors to enhance ADAS and AD performance for over a decade.
These semiconductors have become increasingly vital in improving vehicle intelligence, including connectivity, to help reduce traffic accident fatalities.

Denso President Shinnosuke Hayashi emphasized the importance of a strong supply chain for critical materials like semiconductors, noting that Denso, the world&#8217;s second-largest supplier of automotive systems and parts, relies on this to deliver innovative products to customers.
He highlighted the need for collaboration with industry leaders like ON Semiconductor, which has advanced vehicle safety and autonomy through intelligent sensing technologies while providing reliable supply assurance.
Denso intends to acquire ON Semiconductor stock on the open market as a mark of their collaboration.
Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya identified ON Semiconductor among his top picks for 2025, projecting a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42516826/nvidia-and-5-other-stocks-are-analysts-top-semiconductor-picks-for-2025-sees-2-ai-trends" rel="noreferrer noopener">recovery from cyclical trends</a>. He expects the automotive and industrial sectors to drive significant semiconductor demand in the latter half of the year.
Arya anticipates that in the first half of 2025, investments in artificial intelligence (AI) will continue to surge, driven by AI training and model scaling. He notes that cloud customers will likely accelerate the deployment of Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell architecture during this period.
Regarding the CHIPS Act, Arya expects the legislation, enacted under President Joe Biden, to remain in effect following President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration. He projects that the remaining funding will be distributed in 2025, substantially supporting the U.S. semiconductor industry.
After ON Semiconductor&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41603256/on-semiconductors-q3-solid-analyst-highlight-l-shaped-recovery" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter print</a>, Needham analyst Quinn Bolton projected an L-shaped recovery for the company through the first half of 2025. Datacenter opportunities will gain traction as key design wins ramp up next year.
Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari, Benchmark analyst David Williams, and JP Morgan analyst Harlan Sur flagged China&#8217;s EV market strength and silicon carbide (SiC) growth.

ON Semiconductor and Denso Team Up to Boost Self-Driving Tech

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MUFG#NYSE">MUFG</a>) and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMFG#NYSE">SMFG</a>) are reportedly set to divest approximately ¥1.32 trillion ($8.5 billion) worth of strategic shareholdings in Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>).
The major move indicates a strong commitment by Japan&#8217;s major corporations to dismantle their extensive network of cross-held shares. This strategic unwinding is designed to mitigate any adverse effects on Toyota&#8217;s share price, reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-07/japan-s-top-banks-to-divest-8-5-billion-in-toyota-shareholdings?srnd=phx-deals&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg</a>.
The banks will divest in phases, leveraging Toyota&#8217;s recent buyback initiative. On May 8, Toyota announced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38736508/toyotas-blockbuster-report-amid-the-ev-slowdown-reflect-its-determination-to-catch-up-on-software" rel="noreferrer noopener">¥1 trillion buyback plan</a>, equivalent to about 3% of its stock, marking a substantial increase from previous repurchases.
The Japanese government has long advocated for reducing cross shareholdings, which were established to solidify business alliances.
However, entities like these banks have been slow to act. This substantial divestment by Toyota&#8217;s major stakeholders could catalyze a wider movement toward loosening equity ties in Japan&#8217;s corporate sector.
The Mitsubishi stake is valued at approximately ¥700 billion, while Sumitomo Mitsui holds about ¥620 billion worth of Toyota stock, as per the report.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="http://Toyota, Subaru, Mazda Aim For Carbon-Neutral Future In Engine Development: Details" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toyota, Subaru, Mazda Aim For Carbon-Neutral Future In Engine Development: Details</a>
These sales are planned to span several years, reducing or potentially eliminating their stakes in Toyota. Meanwhile, Mizuho Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MFG#NYSE">MFG</a>) does not hold a notable stake in Toyota. The decision follows a notable appreciation in Toyota&#8217;s stock price.
The report also mentioned that some insurers, including MS&amp;AD Insurance Group Holdings Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSADY#OTC">MSADY</a>), Tokio Marine Holdings Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKOMY#OTC">TKOMY</a>), and Sompo Holdings Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMPNY#OTC">SMPNY</a>), hold stakes in Toyota. The total would top ¥3 trillion if they joined the banks.
Toyota itself is also reducing its cross-shareholdings within its network. In November, the company announced it would lower its stake in electric parts manufacturer Denso Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNZOY#OTC">DNZOY</a>) to 20% from 24%.
Previously, Toyota committed to selling part of its stake in KDDI Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDDIY#OTC">KDDIY</a>) for ¥250 billion. These moves aim to reallocate funds towards Toyota&#8217;s electric vehicle initiatives and buyback programs.
Price Action: TM shares are trading lower by 1.36% at $207.18 at the last check Friday.

Japanese Mega Banks Plan $8.5B Toyota Stake Sale: Report

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) has catalyzed a surge in interest from Taiwanese and Southeast Asian investors looking to tap into&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/02/37254196/taiwanese-chip-firms-flock-to-japan-as-china-decoupling-accelerates" rel="noreferrer noopener">Japan&#8217;s semiconductor market</a>, particularly in Kumamoto, known for its semiconductor incentives.&nbsp;
The trend also coincided with the U.S. imposing sanctions on China&#8217;s advancements in cutting-edge semiconductors.
Max Lin, executive vice president at CTBC Bank, Taiwan&#8217;s biggest private bank, noted the burgeoning demand for banking services in Kumamoto, driven by the key&nbsp;Nvidia Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) supplier&#8217;s announcement of its first-ever Japanese chip fabrication plant in the region.&nbsp;
It marked a significant pivot for CTBC Bank, which expanded its operations to downtown Kumamoto to cater to the growing needs of clients involved in the semiconductor boom, from real estate inquiries to lifestyle advice, Nikkei Asia&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Business-Spotlight/TSMC-s-Japan-chip-venture-spurs-investment-rush" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Recent reports indicated that TSMC is expanding in Japan with a second factory&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/37032861/tsmc-sets-sights-on-japan-for-next-gen-chip-manufacturing-boosting-global-tech-leadership" rel="noreferrer noopener">for 6-nm chips</a>. The new facility in Kumamoto prefecture will likely be operational by the end of 2027.
The semiconductor industry&#8217;s expansion has turned Japan into an attractive destination for foreign banking expansions, a notable shift given the country&#8217;s previous challenges with negative interest rates deterring such moves.&nbsp;
This change is underscored by the entry of seven other Taiwanese banks into Japan, following TSMC&#8217;s lead.&nbsp;
TSMC&#8217;s Kumamoto plant, poised for mass production by year-end to supply giants like&nbsp;Sony Group Corp&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) and&nbsp;Denso Corp&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNZOF#OTC">DNZOF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNZOY#OTC">DNZOY</a>), represents TSMC&#8217;s broader strategy to diversify its manufacturing footprint outside Taiwan in response to geopolitical tensions and the global chip shortage, with ambitious plans for overseas expansion in the U.S., Japan, and Germany.
TSMC&#8217;s foray into Japan benefits from cultural affinities and a skilled workforce, easing the expansion process compared to other regions.&nbsp;
Japan earmarked up to ¥45 billion ($300 million) to support the Leading-edge Semiconductor Technology Center (LSTC) in developing advanced chip technologies. The LSTC is a collective of Japanese researchers specializing in nanotechnology, materials, and AI.
Recently,&nbsp;Analog Devices, Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>) tapped TSMC&#8217;s majority-owned subsidiary, Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing, Inc (JASM), to secure long-term wafer capacity, including 40nm and finer&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/02/37266611/whats-going-on-with-key-nvidia-supplier-taiwan-semi-stock-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">process technology nodes</a>.

Taiwan Semi Spurs Semiconductor Investment Frenzy in Japan, Boosting Local Economy and Banking Sector

Rising labor costs for U.S. automakers are sowing the seeds for deeper investment in automation after settlements last year to end a month of strikes at car plants across the country saw automakers agree to large wage increases for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/10/35492334/gm-uaw-reach-tentative-agreement-potentially-putting-an-end-to-costly-6-week-strike">American auto workers</a>.
The Big Three Detroit motor manufacturers agreed to pay United Auto Workers union members wage increases of around 25% in November, which will push up labor costs significantly for Ford (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Stellantis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), which was formed by the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France&#8217;s Peugeot.
This is obviously great news for the unionized workers — but if automakers increasingly look toward automation to mitigate these rising labor costs, it could prove to be a longer-term negative for UAW workers.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="650" height="650" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/15120849/newplot-41.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-182098" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/15120849/newplot-41.jpeg 650w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/15120849/newplot-41-300x300.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/15120849/newplot-41-150x150.jpeg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></figure>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UAW&#8217;s Costly Labor Agreement</h2>
Ford disclosed in November that the labor deal would cost it around $1.7 billion in lost profits for 2023, and that over the four-year term of the contract it would add a total of $8.8 billion in costs.
&#8220;We have our work cut out for us,&#8221; CFO John Lawler told a Barclays Investor conference at the time, after divulging the labor deal had cost four times that of the previous agreement in 2019. Ford execs had expected it to cost only twice that of the 2019 deal.
Lawler later said that Ford was looking at &#8220;opportunities in automation&#8221; when asked how the company would offset these costs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Digital Age Descends On Car Industry</h2>
This could be a big threat to the UAW. The contract signed between the union and the Big Three was for four years. After this time is up, new negotiations will be underway and unions are likely to be negotiating on more than pay.
&#8220;The digital age has arrived faster than expected and is only accelerating, and the result will be the mass replacement of human labor by automation,&#8221; said Tomer Simon, chief scientist at Microsoft&#8216;s R&amp;D Center in Israel.
Hollywood actors and writers were striking at the same time as the carmakers last year. Their beef was on the use of artificial intelligence and other technologies in TV and movie making. Their concerns addressed issues such as the use of computerized simulations of actors and writers becoming relegated to editing AI-generated scrips.
Writing in the Harvard Business Review, Yossi Sheffi said of the UAW deal: &#8220;The agreement has achieved significant pay gains for workers but fails to adequately address issues such as how to prepare employees for automation.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Robotics, AI Firms Could Be Winners</h2>
So which companies are the motor manufacturers going to be looking at in the quest to deepen their already large presence in automation? Car manufacturers are already large stakeholders in the robotics industry and are increasingly becoming so in artificial intelligence. 
Among the biggest makers of automated manufacturing equipment are Sweden&#8217;s ABB (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBNY#OTC">ABBNY</a>) and Japan&#8217;s Denso Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNZOY#OTC">DNZOY</a>) and Fanuc Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FANUY#OTC">FANUY</a>).
But domestic companies such as Rockwell Automation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>), which is developing robots to automate the EV industry, and Magna International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGA#NYSE">MGA</a>), which automates the manufacture of components such as electronics, are likely to be part of this revolution.

Why Robot? Automation To Increase After UAW Deal Costs The Car Industry

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union initiated a strike against Detroit&#39;s three major automakers following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/09/34555080/stand-up-not-out-uaws-strike-imminent-union-president-shawn-fain-just-rattled-the-big-3s-cage">expiration of their contracts</a>.
The strike, historically unprecedented in its scale, targets Ford Motor Co&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gm#NYSE">GM</a>)&nbsp;and Stellantis NV (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stla#NYSE">STLA</a>).
The core dispute revolves around a wide gap in wage and benefit expectations.
Potential Implications: As attention remains&nbsp;fixated on the Big 3, repercussions of the strike may ripple through the auto suppliers that&nbsp;provide vital components and services to the automakers.
The Biden administration is considering extending emergency financial support to the affected auto suppliers. The exact form of aid is still under discussion, with&nbsp;proposals including&nbsp;potential grants from the Labor Department for impacted workers and preferential loan terms via the Small Business Administration, USA Today <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/09/14/biden-aid-to-auto-suppliers-uaw-strike/70852542007/">reported</a> on Friday.
As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/09/34594975/ford-ceo-farley-calls-upon-uaw-to-negotiate-a-deal-before-strike-deadline">Ford CEO Jim Farley</a> said Thursday, the automaker will have to start closing plants within &ldquo;hours or days&rdquo; of the strike. Here&rsquo;s what stocks to watch.

A Peek Into The Markets: US Stock Futures Rise Ahead Of Economic Reports

Honeywell International Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hon#NASDAQ">HON</a>) and key Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tm#NYSE">TM</a>) supplier Denso Corp (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dnzoy#OTC">DNZOY</a>) have formed a long-term partnership to develop and manufacture electric propulsion systems for aircraft with a focus on air taxis and delivery vehicles.
What Happened: The two companies plan to use their automotive and aerospace expertise and have their first electric propulsion motors ready for flight tests in 2022 and they are in &ldquo;advanced discussions with current and prospective customers,&rdquo; according to a statement.
Both Honeywell and Denso aim to tap the air mobility market and claim they are focusing on making the new aircraft safer, more efficient, quieter, cleaner for the environment when compared with traditional helicopters and small aircraft, and easily facilitate transportation in and between cities.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Manufacturers including Boeing Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ba#NYSE">BA</a>), Airbus SE (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eadsy#OTC">EADSY</a>), Cessna-maker Textron Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/txt#NYSE">TXT</a>), and a dozen of other startups are vying to bring their electric-powered aircraft&nbsp;to the market, ahead of competitors,&nbsp;amid growing interest.
Package delivery company United Parcel Service Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ups#NYSE">UPS</a>) said last month it is buying 10 small electric-powered aircraft that take off like helicopters and fly like planes, aiming to reduce its costs from contracting with small air freighters to reach far-flung areas. The first delivery of the ALIA-250 from Stone Point Capital-backed Beta Technologies is expected in 2024.
Price Action: Honeywell shares closed 0.81% higher at $225 on Monday.

Honeywell, Denso Partner To Build Electric Aircraft Motors Amid Growing Demand

Lyft Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lyft#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) is selling its self-driving unit Level 5 to&nbsp;Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tm#NYSE">TM</a>) subsidiary Woven Planet Holdings for $550 million in cash, the companies announced&nbsp;on Monday &mdash; a move that is expected to help the ride-sharing company hit its profitability target a quarter earlier.
What Happened:&nbsp;Woven Planet Holdings will pay $200 million upfront and the remaining $350 million will be paid over a five-year period. The deal will help Lyft shed $100 million of net operating costs and deliver profit faster than anticipated.&nbsp;
The San Francisco-based company said it now expects to become profitable on an adjusted basis before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in the third quarter of this year, three months ahead of its previous estimate.
The Level 5 team will join the Toyota subsidiary dedicated to developing autonomous driving and other advanced mobility technologies. It will also use the Lyft system and fleet data to speed up the safety and commercialization of the automated-driving vehicles that Woven Planet will develop.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: The COVID-19 pandemic took a toll on the ride-hailing company in 2020 &mdash; forcing it to lower costs and restructure the business. The sale will further allow it to focus on its core operations.&nbsp;
The Japanese automaker&nbsp;Toyota had earlier this year revealed plans to develop and build autonomous minivans for ride-hailing networks with Aurora Innovation Inc, a Silicon Valley-based autonomous-driving startup with at least a $10 billion valuation and longtime supplier partner Denso Corp (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dnzoy#OTC">DNZOY</a>).
Aurora in December last year <a href="https://aurora.tech/blog/aurora-is-acquiring-ubers-self-driving-unit-advanced">announced</a> the acquisition of Lyft rival&nbsp;Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/uber#NYSE">UBER</a>).
Price Action: Lyft&rsquo;s shares closed 1% lower at $63.06 on Monday but were up 2.5% in after-hours trading.
