Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Reclaims $2 Trillion Market Cap
On July 30, shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) rose by 7.6%, pushing the company's market cap back above $2 trillion to approximately $2.1 trillion. This follows a period where its value had dipped due to a stock price decline from its 52-week high despite improving financial results. The chip foundry reported strong second-quarter performance, with revenue increasing by about 34% year-over-year and net income reaching record levels in New Taiwan dollars. The company's gross margin was at an impressive 67.7%, while operating margin hit 60.3%. Advanced technologies accounted for a significant portion of wafer revenue. Looking ahead, TSMC anticipates continued strong demand driven by its leading-edge process technologies and the ramp-up of its newest 2-nanometer technology. Despite these growth prospects, the stock trades at about 20 times forward earnings estimates — in line with average large companies but significantly lower than some AI-focused peers like Advanced Micro Devices.
