Bernstein says sustained AI demand and resilient high-end smartphone sales
should continue to support TSMC (TSM.N) revenue. Using monthly receipts,
Bernstein estimates TSMC’s Q3 revenue at TWD1.49 trillion, roughly 3% above
consensus. The firm forecasts dollar-denominated revenue to rise 41% this year.
TSMC will report full Q3 results on Thursday; investors will focus on 2nm
capacity ramp, potential further U.S. expansion, and management’s 2027 outlook.
Bernstein adds its prior forecast of ~30% annual revenue growth for 2027–28 may
have upside.
