TSMC posts record profit for a sixth straight quarter, beating estimates on AI boom
Net profit rose 69% to NT$763.1 billion as AI chip demand lifted revenue 50.9%, and TSMC lifted its full-year outlook to 44% growth.
- On Thursday, October 15, 2026, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. reported a record third-quarter net profit of NT$763.1 billion, up 69% year-on-year, driven by booming artificial intelligence demand.
- Booming infrastructure spending in the tech sector and the steep ramp-up of TSMC's advanced 2nm technology supported the results, though the new process diluted gross margins by about 1.3 percentage points sequentially.
- Chief Financial Officer Wendell Huang reported third-quarter revenue of $46.72 billion, representing 41.2% year-over-year growth, while the company raised its full-year 2026 revenue growth forecast to approximately 44%.
- Shares of TSMC fell 2% on Thursday amid a broader semiconductor sector sell-off, as investors prioritized macroeconomic risks over record earnings performance despite the strong results.
- CEO C.C. Wei reiterated that demand exceeds supply while warning of 2027 macroeconomic uncertainties, as the company maintained its $60 billion to $64 billion capital expenditure budget for 2026.
