[Earnings Season] Can TSMC Keep Rising in the AI Boom?

$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ will report its Q3 2025 earnings before the U.S. market opens on October 16 (Thursday).Analysts expect strong results — about NT$965.8 billion in revenue and NT$404.2 billion in profit (around US$13.5 billion).

🔍 What to Expect

AI demand is still booming. TSMC’s 3-nanometer chips are running at almost full capacity, and its advanced packaging lines are completely booked. Even with a stronger Taiwan dollar, most analysts think TSMC’s profit margin will stay above 55%. Overall profit may jump 28% from last year, hitting another record high.

Big banks like Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and Barclays all raised their price targets to $330, calling TSMC the key winner in the global AI chip race.

Still, investors are watching for risks like U.S. tariffs and currency swings. There’s also talk about whether TSMC will raise its full-year outlook again and how fast its new Arizona factory will start production.

If results beat expectations, the stock could hit new highs. But if tariffs or currency issues hurt profits, we might see short-term volatility.

TSMC’s earnings call is scheduled for 2:00 PM Beijing Time on October 16, 2025. Click to RSVP for the live call.

    $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ will report its Q3 2025 results before the market opens on Thursday, 16 October. The company’s preliminary sales data has confirmed it is a strong quarter. Closing price at USD323.88 should not be a problem. The real test is profitability. The market will be looking for any sign that the company’s pricing power can keep margins intact. The company’s growth durability is critical.

    我预计台积电将迎来又一个强劲的季度,业绩凸显其在人工智能半导体供应链中的主导地位。该公司几乎完全利用了3纳米产能,CoWoS封装生产线已全部预订,这表明英伟达、苹果和AMD等主要客户的需求强劲。即使面临汇率不利因素,5台积电的毛利率也可能保持在55%以上,反映出其强大的定价能力和先进的技术护城河。

    关税风险以及美中新措施如何影响出口流动。

    亚利桑那州晶圆厂扩建——任何加速都将增强投资者对台积电全球多元化的信心。

    2025年指引更新,特别是如果管理层再次上调人工智能相关收入预测。

    除非关税或外汇影响出现重大意外,否则我预计该股将在财报发布后上涨。
    我的预测:看涨偏见,由于对人工智能需求的乐观情绪超过了宏观担忧,10月16日收盘价可能在326.80美元左右。
