TSMC's October sales jump as global chip boom rolls on
- On Nov 10, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing reported record consolidated sales of NT$586.89 billion for October, up 59.7% from a year earlier and surpassing the previous monthly record set in August.
- Analysts attributed the record growth to strong global demand for artificial intelligence applications, while shipments of chips using TSMC's advanced 2-nanometer process also boosted revenue.
- TSMC raised its full-year sales growth forecast to about 44% in mid-October, up from its July projection of slightly more than 40% growth, reflecting confidence in sustained demand.
- Separately, Taiwan's exports surged 58.9% in October from a year earlier to $96.76 billion, as strong demand for advanced chips drove a 61.4% increase in electronic components exports.
- TSMC expects capital expenditure from 2026 to 2028 to be significantly higher than in the previous three years as it invests to support rising customer demand for data centers into 2027 and beyond.
