Founded in 1963, Tokyo Electron (TEL) is a leading Japanese technology company specializing in semiconductor and flat-panel display manufacturing equipment. As one of the world’s key players in the semiconductor industry, the company continues to innovate and remain at the forefront of trends like electrification and digital technologies.
H1 2024 Financial Results
Tokyo Electron posted solid performance in the first half of fiscal year 2024, with revenue reaching JPY 755 billion, a 5.3% increase compared to the previous year. However, net income fell to JPY 91.2 billion, an 11% decrease, primarily due to rising costs and increased investments in R&D.
The semiconductor equipment segment remains the company’s primary growth driver, fueled by rising demand for advanced technologies, including chips for electric vehicles and high-performance devices. The flat-panel display segment, while declining, shows signs of stabilization with the adoption of new technologies like OLED displays.

Tokyo Electron is focused on research and development (R&D) investments to maintain its leadership position. The company has ramped up efforts in advanced materials and new manufacturing processes to meet growing demand for more efficient and powerful semiconductors. These innovations are particularly focused on improving chip miniaturization and reducing energy consumption, essential for AI and autonomous vehicle applications.
Additionally, TEL has expanded its global presence by partnering with strategic players in key regions, such as North America and Southeast Asia, to strengthen its supply chain and enhance production capacity.
Challenges and Outlook
Tokyo Electron faces challenges, including rising production costs and intense competition from industry giants like ASML and Applied Materials. Despite these challenges, sustained demand for advanced semiconductors, particularly in AI, automotive, and 5G telecommunications, offers a positive outlook for the company.
