On October 31, 2025, TSMC reported profits of NT$1.21 trillion (approx. US$39.4 billion) for the first three quarters of 2025, surpassing its entire 2024 profit. This performance is attributed to robust orders from Nvidia and Apple, particularly for AI and high-performance computing chips[1]. TSMC's expansion and continued dominance in advanced semiconductor manufacturing are reinforced by global demand, especially as AI-driven applications accelerate growth. The company's strategic investments in the U.S. and its refusal to split production with the U.S. further highlight its commitment to maintaining technological leadership[4]. TSMC stock closed at $303.22 (-0.61%) on October 30, 2025, reflecting strong business fundamentals amid broader tech sector optimism and ongoing geopolitical developments.
