TSMC (TSM.N) said on Thursday that sustained investment in AI infrastructure has
driven strong demand across chip segments and it now expects U.S.
dollar-denominated revenue to rise more than 30% in 2026, in line with its
recent earnings-call guidance and up from a 25% projection in January. The
company is expanding capacity to meet unprecedented demand for large-scale AI
compute. Chairman and CEO Wei Zhejia warned that continued electronic component
price inflation could hurt the consumer electronics sector and said recent
Middle East tensions add further uncertainty to the outlook.
