About Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is the world's largest dedicated chip foundry, with mid-60s market share in 2024. TSMC was founded in 1987 as a joint venture of Philips, the government of Taiwan, and private investors. It went public in Taiwan in 1994 and as an ADR in the US in 1997. TSMC's scale and high-quality technology allow the firm to generate solid operating margins, even in the highly competitive foundry business. Furthermore, the shift to the fabless business model has created tailwinds for TSMC. The foundry leader has an illustrious customer base, including Apple, AMD, and Nvidia, that looks to apply cutting-edge process technologies to its semiconductor designs. TSMC employs more than 83,000 people.

Bulls say / Bears say

TSMC's second-quarter net profit jumped 60.7% year-on-year to NT$398.3 billion, reaching a record-high quarterly result, fueled by strong demand for AI and HPC chips. (Reuters)
TSMC confirmed its ambitious 2025 capex plan of US$38 billion to US$42 billion, a significant increase from 2024, to expand capacity for advanced 2 nm, 3 nm, and 5 nm processes and to meet rising AI demand. (Reuters)
TSMC has decided to exclude Chinese equipment from its upcoming 2 nm chip production lines in order to preempt possible future U.S. restrictions, highlighting its focus on supply chain resilience and technological leadership. (Financial Times)
The U.S. Commerce Department plans to revoke waivers that allow TSMC to use U.S. technology in its Chinese operations, which could disrupt its manufacturing capabilities and access to key American equipment. (Reuters)
Three individuals have been indicted for allegedly stealing TSMC's chip technology to aid a Japanese supplier, raising concerns about intellectual property security and a potential weakening of TSMC's competitive position. (Wall Street Journal)
TSMC is facing margin pressures, as the New Taiwan dollar's 12% appreciation in 2025 and the high ramp-up costs of its overseas fabs are projected to pull gross margins down to 55.5–57.5% in Q3, compared to 58.6% in Q2. (Financial Times)
