Taiwan Chip Giant Posts Record Profits on AI Demand Surge
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company reported stronger-than-expected earnings for the final quarter of 2025, fueled by robust global demand for artificial intelligence chips and data-center expansion.
Net profit reached NT$505.7 billion, above market forecasts of NT$467 billion, marking 25% year-on-year growth.
Quarterly revenue climbed to $33.1 billion, pushing annual sales beyond the $100 billion mark for the first time.
TSMC, a key supplier for Nvidia and AMD, said AI accelerators will remain the main driver of long-term growth despite concerns over spending sustainability.
Data-center investment helped lift sales more than 30% for a second consecutive year, while the industry continues to grapple with memory-chip supply imbalances.
