Taiwan Semiconductor shares drop 3% despite sixth straight record profit quarter amid margin concerns.

Taiwan Semiconductor posted its sixth consecutive quarter of record profits, driven by strong AI-related demand, but its stock fell 3% along with Intel and AMD shares. The company reported higher revenue and net income, beating estimates and raising sales guidance, yet a narrowing gross margin and rising capital expenditures raised investor concerns. CEO C.C. Wei emphasized robust demand and ongoing capacity expansions in Taiwan, Arizona, and Japan to meet AI hardware needs. The next earnings report will be closely watched for margin trends amid increased spending, as the semiconductor sector faces uncertainty despite strong fundamentals.

Taiwan Semiconductor's stock is down 3.31% on Pluang, trading at USD 415.78 as of Oct 15, 2026 20:01 WIB. Intel and the iShares Semiconductor ETF also show declines, with Intel down 3.89% at USD 94.30 and SOXX down 3.31% at USD 502.22 at the same time.
