Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company delivered impressive June revenue figures on Monday, reporting a year-over-year surge of 67.9% to NT$442.68 billion. The announcement came on Monday rather than the typical Friday release due to interruptions from Typhoon Bavi.
Shares of TSMC responded positively, advancing 1% following the disclosure.

The performance exceeded market projections, with second-quarter revenue totaling NT$1.270 trillion ($39.63 billion), marking a 36% year-over-year gain. This figure topped the chipmaker’s own upper guidance estimate of $40.2 billion.
Looking at the broader picture, TSMC’s revenue for the initial half of 2026 climbed to NT$2.4 trillion ($74.99 billion), demonstrating a 35.6% jump versus the comparable period in 2025.
Sravan Kundojjala, a SemiAnalysis analyst, characterized the performance as “quite robust.” He noted that historical data from the previous four years typically shows June experiencing sequential monthly declines ā making this outcome particularly noteworthy.
“The demand supply situation in AI is still quite tight and TSMC is sold out on N3, which is targeted by all leading AI GPU and CPUs this year,” Kundojjala said.
AI Chip Revenue Trajectory Approaching $40 Billion
According to Kundojjala’s analysis, TSMC appears positioned to exceed $40 billion in AI-related chip revenue during 2026, potentially representing approximately 25% of overall company revenue.
The foundry leader commands a 73% share of the worldwide pure-play foundry market as of the first quarter of 2026, based on data from Counterpoint Research. Major customers include Nvidia, Apple, and AMD.
These strong June results come just ahead of TSMC’s second-quarter earnings report, scheduled for Thursday, July 16. Beyond the actual performance numbers, industry observers are particularly interested in management’s forward guidance for upcoming periods. The company is commonly regarded as a key indicator for the overall semiconductor manufacturing sector.
Southern Taiwan Facility Expansion
Regarding infrastructure development, TSMC is moving forward with plans to establish two additional advanced chip packaging facilities at Chiayi Science Park in southern Taiwan, according to Reuters. Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council Minister Wu Cheng-wen verified that the initial facility has already begun mass production operations, with the second plant expected to commence operations in the near term.
On a sequential basis, June revenue also demonstrated strength, increasing 6.2% compared to May ā another element that drew analyst interest considering the typical seasonal pattern of June weakness.
The complete second-quarter earnings report from TSMC is scheduled for release on July 16.
