Taipei, Tuesday, 15 July 2025.

market factors and tsmc’s performance

on july 14, 2025, tsmc’s stock experienced a slight decrease, closing at 1095 taiwan dollars [4]. the dip is part of broader market volatility [4]. several factors are weighing on investor sentiment. these include concerns about equivalent tariffs, chip tariffs, and the appreciation of the new taiwan dollar [3]. these ‘three pressures’ could erode revenue and gross profit margins [3]. a stronger taiwan dollar, particularly since april, impacts financial reports [3]. tsmc previously noted that each 1% appreciation in the exchange rate could reduce gross and operating profit margins by approximately 0.4% [3].

revenue and growth prospects

tsmc’s june revenue saw a month-on-month decrease of 17% [5]. despite short-term headwinds, supply chains anticipate robust support from ai orders [3]. nvidia’s new generation gb200 and gb300 chips are expected to bolster tsmc’s advanced manufacturing and packaging [3]. excluding exchange rate impacts, q2 revenue is projected to exceed expectations [3]. the full-year revenue growth target of 25% in us dollar terms remains potentially achievable [3]. investors are also monitoring tsmc’s revenue, eps, and dividend information to guide their investment decisions [GPT].

investor focus on upcoming conference

the market is closely watching tsmc’s q2 2025 earnings conference scheduled for july 17 [3][6]. key discussion points will likely include ai demand, progress in 2nm production, and the status of orders from major ai clients [3]. expansion of advanced packaging technologies like cowos and global fab plans are also of interest [3]. analysts are monitoring tsmc’s upcoming earnings report, expected in early august [4]. a financial analyst at greenstone capital noted cautious investor sentiment, pending clarity on global chip demand [4].

geopolitical factors and strategic advantages

the passage of the u.s. ‘chips and science act,’ providing a 35% investment tax credit, could alleviate some pressure on tsmc’s u.s. fab construction [3]. however, broader industry uncertainties persist [3]. hon hai and hoshu are considered relatively resilient due to their global production lines, especially amidst us-mexico trade dynamics [5]. potential us tariffs could affect companies like quanta, wistron and winy, which are establishing ai server production in mexico [5]. foreign investors have shown interest, purchasing 12,124 shares over four days starting july 9, 2025 [4].
