Following Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s (TSMC) recently announced optimistic sales outlook for the second quarter, DRAM manufacturers Nanya Technology Corp. (ÄÏ¿Æ) and Inotera Memories, Inc. (ÈA†¿Æ) also reported upbeat figures. The companies' shares have reportedly recovered after losses eased in the first quarter.

Nanya Technology said that its share prices have increased 60 percent, reaching the highest point in the past year and a half, whereas Inotera Memories has seen a twofold increase since the fourth quarter of last year.

Nanya Technology reported earnings of NT$3.9 billion in March, with its earnings per share reaching NT$0.16, after 12 consecutive quarters in the red.

Inotera Memories saw earnings of roughly NT$1.12 billion in the same month, with earnings per share of NT$0.21. The company said that it will begin seeing profits in the second quarter.

Charles Kau (¸ß†¢È«), general manager of Nanya Technology Corporation and chairman of Inotera Memories, Inc., said that the second quarter will be a marked improvement from the first due to rising DRAM prices.

Given the DRAM sector's recovery, Morris Chang (ˆÖÒÖ\), chairman of TSMC, last week also adjusted his forecast of the global semiconductor industry's growth upward from 3 percent to 4 percent.
