    TSMC gross margins reach record highs on >70% foundry revenue share

    Question

    TSMC gross margins reach record highs on >70% foundry revenue share

    Direct answer

    Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has achieved all-time high gross margins, supported by unabated demand for advanced packaging and accelerator fabrication. TSMC maintains commanding industry dominance with more than 70% of global foundry revenue. The expansion in profitability reflects sustained pricing power across leading nodes as hyperscalers and fabless chip designers compete for leading-edge fab allocations.
