Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.. reported on Monday that June sales rose 67.9% from the same period last year, ahead of its second-quarter earnings release later this week.
TSMC’s total revenue for the first half of 2026 reached NT$2.4 trillion ($74.99 billion), an increase of 35.6% compared to the same period in 2025. TSMC reported June revenue of NT$442.68 billion, an increase of 6.2% month-on-month.
Shares of the Taiwanese semiconductor giant were trading 1% higher on Monday.
The company’s growth has been driven by demand for artificial intelligence chips and infrastructure investment.
The world’s largest contract chipmaker makes semiconductors for a wide range of applications from smartphones to high-performance AI computing systems, and its key customers include U.S. technology leaders such as AI darlings Nvidia, Apple, and Advanced Micro Devices.
TSMC plans to add two advanced chip packaging plants at Chiayi Science Park in southern Taiwan, Reuters reported, citing Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Commission Minister Wu Cheng-wen on Sunday. Wu said the facility’s first facility is already in mass production, and the second facility is expected to start soon.
TSMC has a 73% share of the global pure foundry market (chips manufactured for customers) in the first quarter of 2026, according to data from Counterpoint Research, and is scheduled to announce its second-quarter results on Thursday, July 16.
