Key Items to Watch
TSM recently reported June revenue being up 6.2% month-over-month, with strong demand for AI chips cited as a reason for growth. The monthly revenue total was up 67.9% year-over-year.
As a key supplier for NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), TSM’s comments on quarterly results and demand could show what demand looks like and potential shortages for its chip customers.
The company is expected to give an update on its second half outlook for the rest of the year, which could impact the stock price and also impact the overall semiconductor market based on the health of demand.
CEO C.C. Wei said after first-quarter results that demand remains robust and customer feedback continues to point to a very positive outlook, reinforcing the company’s conviction in a multi-year AI growth cycle. He added that AI adoption is driving higher computational needs, which in turn boosts demand for leading-edge chips.
Commentary on demand and costs could put the stock under pressure or send shares to new highs.
