Since mid-September, new US restrictions regarding Chinese Huawei have come into effect: foreign
Sony on the list
Sources report that licenses have already been obtainedJapanese companies Sony and Kioxia (formerly Toshiba Memory) approached. The former supplies image sensors for smartphones, the latter supplies flash memory chips. For both companies, Huawei is an important partner.
Analysts say that if they don't getpermission for further cooperation - this will be reflected in income. For example, in August Sony published a report about a 45% decrease in operating profit. Rumor has it that to some extent this is due to the loss of Huawei.
Let us remember that previously the license was issued to Intel, but Qualcomm has not yet received either permission or prohibition. Representatives from Sony and Kioxia decline to comment.
