Macronix says demand surprisingly strongBy Lisa Wang / Staff reporterMacronix International Co (旺宏), the world’s biggest supplier of NOR flash memory chips, yesterday said that demand is surprisingly strong through next year, with some customers even seeking year-long contracts, as it rejected Morgan Stanley’s bearish view on memory stocks. Macronix International Co chairman Miin Wu is pictured at the company’s headquarters in Hsinchu on June 18, 2019. The outlook for NOR flash memory chips remains strong in the second half of the year, Wu said. Automakers are likely to face a new headache with shortages of flash memory chips, he said. Macronix shareholders yesterday approved a cash dividend distribution of NT$1.2 per common share.
