Annual financial evidence ↗ · Compare the revenue rankingTSMC reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of US$40.20 billion, up 33.7% in US dollars. Advanced technologies of 7 nanometers and below represented 77% of wafer revenue. Technology mix does not identify the share of revenue earned from AI.

No comparable annual AI-only revenue figure is separately sourced for this company in our current edition. Company revenue, segment revenue, spending and order commitments should not be used as substitutes.
Can advanced-node and packaging capacity meet customer demand while delivering attractive returns? Watch technology mix, capital intensity and customer demand. Advanced-node wafer revenue is not interchangeable with AI-only revenue.

The Q2 figures below are prior-period context. TSMC released its Q3 2026 results on October 15, superseding the earlier quarterly update; see the current earnings summary above. TSMC reported USD 40.20 billion revenue, 67.7% gross margin and 60.3% operating margin. September’s monthly sales disclosure is a separate monthly indicator, rather than the complete Q3 earnings report.
Management’s July guidance sets a companywide 2026 capital budget of USD 60–64 billion. This annual global budget is distinct from Arizona’s USD 265 billion multi-year investment plan. Overseas-fab gross-margin dilution guidance of 2–3 percentage points initially and 3–4 points later covers overseas facilities collectively, not Arizona alone.
The August 11 board approved about USD 29.44 billion of companywide capital appropriations. Authorizations are not cash spent and should not be added mechanically to annual capital guidance.

Financial review: October 12, 2026. Reported results, guidance and editorial analysis are distinguished above.
TSMC manufactures semiconductor designs for its customers. Its AI exposure should be assessed through process capability, packaging, customer demand and the capital required to deliver them. Company-wide revenue and advanced-node wafer revenue are not AI-only revenue, and a relationship with a chip designer does not establish a contract for every campus using that designer’s products.
The October 8, 2026 SEC-filed disclosure reports September revenue of NT$511.86 billion, up 54.6% year over year and down 0.6% from August. January–September revenue totals NT$3,898.73 billion, up 41.1%. These consolidated sales are not AI-only revenue or a complete quarterly earnings report.

TSMC’s 3DFabric technology portfolio includes CoWoS, InFO and SoIC for integrating chips into packaged systems. CoWoS means Chip on Wafer on Substrate. Packaging and wafer fabrication serve different steps in the manufacturing chain; a wafer fab announcement is not a packaging capacity measurement.

Our analysis: For AI accelerators, the economic question is whether silicon fabrication, packaging and customer system deployment can expand together. Capacity constraints at any step can delay revenue conversion; adding supply faster than durable demand can lower utilization. This review does not establish a current quantified CoWoS shortfall, customer allocation or packaging revenue forecast.
Our new Arizona profile separates the operating first fab from the next manufacturing and packaging phases. The government-reported July investment envelope is an expansion plan, not money already spent or a fully operating campus.

Geographic expansion can diversify supply while increasing cost and execution complexity. Taiwan manufacturing and packaging remain essential to the company’s global footprint; this Arizona addition does not replace a full Taiwan campus audit. No new standalone Taiwan project is asserted in this review.
TSMC provides a manufacturing connection to the AI buildout, but a useful investment assessment needs more than AI demand headlines. Follow the balance between qualified wafer output, packaging delivery, sustained customer demand and capital returns. Keep reported company sales, disclosed production milestones and forward-looking expansion plans separate.

Reviewed October 12, 2026. Own-facility packaging, partner production and current site earnings remain separate questions.
Each connection below has a specific, cited role. A supplier, lender, customer or proposed acquirer has different economics from the project owner.
Arizona foundry-campus sponsor/operator; official corporate and state disclosures distinguish production from expansion plans.
The documented role does not establish contract value, project-level earnings, accepted operating load or a share of company revenue.
