Foxconn is considering buying UTAC Holdings, a Singaporean chip assembler and testing business, in a potential $3 billion deal.
UTAC Holdings, owned by Wise Road Capital, has hired Jeffries to initiate a sale process, with non-binding bids expected by the end of May.
UTAC is likely to draw interest from non-US buyers due to its China presence and global sales network, offering services in chip fabrication and testing for various industries.
Foxconn, a major player in contract electronics manufacturing, has been diversifying into chip production and electric vehicles as part of its long-term growth strategy.
