Unveiling the hidden dimensions of data

A Tale of Two Giants: SG&A Expenses in the Semiconductor Industry

In the ever-evolving semiconductor industry, understanding the financial dynamics of key players is crucial. This chart compares the Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of two industry titans: Applied Materials, Inc. and ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd., from 2014 to 2023.

ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. has consistently outpaced Applied Materials in SG&A expenses, with a peak in 2022, reaching approximately 30% higher than its 2014 levels. In contrast, Applied Materials has shown a steady increase, with a notable 80% rise over the same period. This divergence highlights differing strategic priorities and operational scales.

Interestingly, 2023 saw a dip in ASE's expenses, while Applied Materials continued its upward trajectory. This could indicate a shift in market strategies or operational efficiencies. Missing data for ASE in 2024 suggests a need for cautious interpretation of future trends.
