TSMC posts record third-quarter profit for sixth straight quarter, beating estimates on AI boom

TSMC reported a record third-quarter net profit of NT$763.1 billion, beating LSEG estimates, as AI chip demand drove revenue to NT$1.49 trillion. Net profit rose 68.7% year over year, a sixth straight quarterly record.

Net profit rose 68.7% from a year earlier and set a record for a sixth consecutive quarter. TSMC has continued to report strong monthly sales growth amid sustained demand for advanced chips. In September, revenue rose 54.6% from a year earlier to NT$511.86 billion, CNBC reported.

During its second-quarter earnings announcement in July, TSMC outlined plans to expand its U.S. manufacturing footprint, including a total planned investment of $265 billion in Arizona. The chipmaker is also reportedly considering expanding beyond Arizona and evaluating a potential investment in Texas as it looks to further strengthen its U.S. manufacturing presence.
