    TSMC Raises 2026 Capex to $64B on Sustained AI Demand

    Question

    TSMC Raises 2026 Capex to $64B on Sustained AI Demand

    Direct answer

    Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) has provided a bullish update for the semiconductor sector, raising its 2026 capital expenditure budget to a range of $60-64 billion. This move is backed by a 34% jump in Q2 revenue and a significant expansion in gross margins. The company's CEO projected strong demand through 2030, specifically citing AI chip requirements. This upstream signal provides a floor for expectations regarding Nvidia and Broadcom's supply chain through the end of the year.
