Wingtech Technology, the Chinese owner of Dutch chipmaker Nexperia, anticipates a significant loss of 9 to 13.5 billion yuan in 2025 due to the ongoing dispute with the Dutch government over control of Nexperia. The Dutch government's actions, including a temporary restriction on Wingtech's authority and a suspended order to seize control of Nexperia's European operations, are cited as the primary reason for the projected losses. Wingtech expects to recognize substantial investment and asset impairment losses impacting its 2025 financial performance. This projected loss contrasts with Wingtech's net profit increase in the first three quarters of 2025 and exceeds the company's 2024 loss. The uncertainty surrounding the Dutch authorities' actions has raised concerns about the future performance of Wingtech's semiconductor business.
