Record Q4 2025 revenue and $920M SiPho-SiGe buildout at Tower Semiconductor (TSEM)
Tower Semiconductor reported record fourth quarter 2025 revenue of $440 million, up 14% year-over-year and 11% sequentially, with revenue up 23% from the first to the fourth quarter as the company met its 2025 growth targets.
Fourth quarter gross profit was $118 million and operating profit was $71 million, while net profit reached $80 million, or $0.71 basic earnings per share. For full year 2025, revenue was $1.57 billion, up from $1.44 billion in 2024, with net profit of $220 million, or $1.97 basic earnings per share.
The company is executing a total of $920 million in SiPho and SiGe capital investments, including a new $270 million expansion, targeting capacity more than five times the fourth quarter 2025 SiPho wafer run-rate by the fourth quarter of 2026, with over 70% of SiPho capacity reserved or in process through 2028 backed by customer prepayments. Management guides first quarter 2026 revenue of $412 million plus or minus 5%, about 15% higher year-over-year.
The company also disclosed that Intel has expressed an intention not to perform under a 300mm capacity agreement for wafers in New Mexico, with the parties currently in mediation and affected customer flows being redirected to Tower’s Fab7 in Japan.
Positive
- Record quarterly and full-year performance: Q4 2025 revenue reached a record $440 million, up 14% year-over-year and 11% sequentially, with full-year revenue of $1.57 billion and net profit of $220 million, reflecting stronger profitability.
- Large, customer-backed SiPho and SiGe expansion: The company is executing $920 million of SiPho and SiGe investments, targeting more than 5x SiPho wafer capacity versus the Q4 2025 run-rate by Q4 2026, with over 70% of SiPho capacity reserved or in process through 2028 backed by prepayments.
- Growth outlook into 2026: Management guides first quarter 2026 revenue of $412 million, with an up or down range of 5%, representing approximately 15% year-over-year revenue growth.
Negative
- Intel capacity agreement uncertainty: Intel, which signed a 300mm wafer manufacturing contract in New Mexico in September 2023, has expressed its intention not to perform under that agreement; the parties are in mediation and affected customer flows are being redirected to Fab7 in Japan.
Insights
Record growth, large SiPho capex, and an Intel capacity dispute create a mixed but important update.
Tower Semiconductor delivered record Q4 2025 revenue of $440 million, up 14% year-over-year and 11% sequentially, with full-year revenue of $1.57 billion. Net profit for 2025 rose to $220 million, and Q4 basic EPS reached $0.71, showing stronger profitability as volumes improved.
The company is committing a total of $920 million to SiPho and SiGe capacity, including an additional $270 million for SiPho tools and capabilities. Management targets installation and full qualification by the fourth quarter of 2026, aiming for SiPho wafer capacity above five times the fourth quarter 2025 wafer shipment run-rate. Over 70% of this SiPho capacity is reserved or in process through 2028, supported by customer prepayments, which anchors demand for the expanded footprint.
A key risk is the capacity agreement signed in September 2023 under which Intel was to manufacture 300mm wafers for Tower’s customers in New Mexico. Intel has expressed its intention not to perform, and the parties are in mediation. Customer flows that had transferred or were being transferred are being redirected back to Fab7 in Japan, so the ultimate financial and capacity impact will depend on the mediation outcome and Tower’s ability to support volume from its own fabs.

FAQ
How did Tower Semiconductor (TSEM) perform financially in Q4 2025?
Tower Semiconductor reported record Q4 2025 revenue of $440 million, up 14% year-over-year and 11% sequentially. Net profit was $80 million, with basic earnings per share of $0.71, reflecting stronger profitability versus the third quarter.
What were Tower Semiconductor’s full year 2025 results?
For 2025, Tower Semiconductor generated $1.57 billion in revenue, up from $1.44 billion in 2024. Net profit reached $220 million, with basic earnings per share of $1.97, showing improved earnings alongside moderate revenue growth.
What revenue guidance did Tower Semiconductor (TSEM) give for Q1 2026?
The company guides first quarter 2026 revenue to $412 million, with an upward or downward range of 5%. This outlook implies approximately 15% year-over-year revenue growth, indicating continued expansion from the 2025 baseline.
How much is Tower Semiconductor investing in SiPho and SiGe capacity?
Tower Semiconductor is executing a total of $920 million in SiPho and SiGe capital investments, including an additional $270 million for SiPho equipment. The goal is to achieve SiPho wafer capacity exceeding five times the Q4 2025 shipment run-rate by Q4 2026.
How much of Tower Semiconductor’s SiPho capacity is reserved by customers?
The company states that over 70% of its total SiPho capacity is either currently reserved or in the process of being reserved through 2028. These reservations are described as being firmly backed by customer prepayments, supporting the planned capacity expansion.
What is happening with Tower Semiconductor’s capacity agreement with Intel?
Intel signed a 300mm wafer manufacturing contract for Tower’s customers in September 2023, covering Intel’s New Mexico facility. Intel has since expressed its intention not to perform under the agreement, and both parties are currently in a mediation process.
How is Tower Semiconductor addressing flows affected by the Intel agreement issue?
The flows that had been transferred, or were in the process of being transferred, to Intel’s New Mexico facility were originally qualified in Tower’s Fab7 in Japan. Tower indicates that these customers are now being redirected to be supported again by Fab7.
