AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Tower Semiconductor unveiled a parallel dual-track expansion in Japan for 300mm Silicon Photonics and Silicon Germanium, backed by government grants. Track 1 targets readiness in Q4 2027 with a 2028 revenue goal of $3.6B and $1.2B net profit, while Track 2 aims to substantially increase capacity by 2029. The $3B capex, offset by about $1B in grants, aims to create a long-term, global manufacturing center and strengthen AI/data-center optics supply chains.
