    TSMC Reaches Record Gross Margin on Foundry Pricing Power and AI Fabrication Demand

    Question

    TSMC Reaches Record Gross Margin on Foundry Pricing Power and AI Fabrication Demand

    Direct answer

    TSMC has established fresh records in gross profit margin as demand for leading-edge semiconductor fabrication continues across advanced AI accelerator architectures. Holding over 70% global foundry revenue share provides sustained pricing power across advanced packaging and sub-3nm nodes, reinforcing its operational moat across key fabless customers.
