TSMC Q4 Profit Surges 35% on Robust AI Chip Demand, Exceeding Estimates
TSMC reported a record-breaking 35% profit surge in Q4, driven by massive AI chip demand. Revenue also exceeded forecasts, climbing 20.5%. The company’s advanced manufacturing, particularly for AI processors from Nvidia and AMD, accounts for 77% of wafer revenue with 7nm or smaller nodes. Analysts predict continued AI server demand growth in 2026, benefiting TSMC. However, consumer electronics demand may face challenges from memory chip shortages and price hikes.
