TSMC’s stock slid 1.35% as the chip giant disclosed Q3 revenue of T$1.49 trillion, topping the LSEG SmartEstimate of T$1.46 trillion.
The figure marks a 50% jump from T$989.92 billion a year earlier, and is the highest third‑quarter haul the company has posted in more than a decade.
September alone saw revenue surge 54.6% YoY to T$511.86 billion, underscoring the AI‑chip boom that is driving orders from Nvidia, Apple and others.
Despite the surge, shares already rose 64.52% YTD, but the market’s 1% slip that day reflects broader tech‑sector caution amid high valuation pressure.
TSMC will unveil its earnings next Thursday, with analysts eyeing a 64% YoY rise in net profit to T$740.8 billion; guidance on future cash‑flow plans remains pending.
