TSMC posts 41.2% revenue growth and plans major capacity expansion amid strong AI demand

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) reported a strong quarter with revenue up 41.2% year-over-year and earnings per share rising 68.7%. The company is expanding its production capacity aggressively, including plans to more than double its N2 capacity by 2027 and add three new N3 fabs. Growth in AI accelerator chip sales is expected to exceed previous forecasts, supporting an anticipated 35% total revenue growth in 2027. Despite its high valuation at about 18 times projected 2027 earnings, TSMC remains a buy, though the risk/reward profile is less attractive than before.

TSMC holds a market cap of $1.94 trillion and a dividend yield of 0.98% as of Oct 18, 2026, 09:21 WIB on Pluang. The stock price is $412.61, down 2.28% in the past day, with a typical hold time of 111 days among investors on the platform. Despite recent strong earnings growth reported, current Pluang order activity shows a majority of 68% selling interest compared to 32% buying.
