revenue and margin challenges

TSMC reported second-quarter revenue of $30.5 billion [6]. This marks an all-time high [6]. However, margin concerns have surfaced due to a stronger Taiwanese dollar, impacting profitability [6]. June revenue was NT$263.7 billion ($8.5 billion), a 26.9% increase year-over-year but a decrease from May’s NT$320.5 billion [6]. This represents the weakest month-on-month growth for June in the last four years and the second consecutive month of decelerating year-on-year revenue growth [6].

growth forecasts and market factors

Despite the recent deceleration, TSMC’s revenue for the first half of 2025 increased by 40% year-over-year, reaching NT$1.77 trillion [6]. The company’s full-year growth target of 25% suggests only a 1% sequential growth in the second half of the year [6]. This is a significant slowdown compared to the 27% half-over-half growth recorded in 2024 [6]. Investors are also wary of capital expenditure levels and margin pressure from TSMC’s expansions in Japan and the U.S. [6].

dependence on tsm

Major players in the artificial intelligence sector rely on TSMC for chip manufacturing [6]. These companies include Nvidia, Apple, AMD, and Qualcomm [6]. Shares of TSMC experienced a dip of approximately 0.8% in early trading on Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange [6]. Nvidia recently reached a $4 trillion market capitalization [7]. Top funds have invested heavily in Nvidia, attracting over $24 billion from money managers [4].
