TSMC's Gross Margin Could Reach Above 60% Over Time -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-21 11:32

0332 GMT - TSMC's gross margin could reach above 60% over time and may be tempered in 2026 by dilution effects of overseas fabs and the ramp-up of its 2-nanometer process, Deustche Bank analyst Robert Sanders says in a note. He reckons favorable pricing and full loading for its 5-nanometer and 3-namometer processes supported 4Q gross margin. TSMC's 2025 capital expenditure guidance of $38 billion to $42 billion suggests a steeper ramp of the 2-nanometer and 1.6-nanometer process and more high performance computing customers, he says. This also suggests that the yield progress of TSMC's 2-nanometer process is on track, the analyst adds. Deustche Bank raises TSMC's target price to NT$1,400.00 from NT$1,300.00. Shares are last at NT$1,115.00. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
