Monthly revenue
The world leader in contract-based chip manufacturing announced that monthly revenue came to 416.98 billion New Taiwan dollars (around 11.4 billion euros), a modest increase of 1.5 per cent compared with April’s figures.
Consistent growth
This growth trend has remained consistent during the first part of the year. In the first five months of 2026, the company’s total revenue amounted to 1.96 trillion New Taiwan dollars (around 53.6 billion euros), an increase of 30 per cent compared with the same period last year.
Such financial gains illustrate the ongoing urgency among tech giants to expand their computing infrastructure, fuelling a sharp rise in orders for high-end chips.
Strategic role in the AI ecosystem
As the main manufacturing partner for industry giants such as Apple and Nvidia, TSMC plays a central role in the expansion of AI. Despite the volatility of international trade policy and possible import tariffs, the company previously predicted that second-quarter revenue would lie between 27.2 and 28 billion euros, relying on the continued necessity of its most advanced manufacturing processes.
