TSMC reported second-quarter revenue of $40.2 billion and net profit of $22.37 billion, beating estimates and marking a 77.4% year-over-year increase. Gross margin reached 67.7%, surpassing the upper end of company guidance, as strong demand for leading-edge process technologies supported the results.

The company also raised its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $60 billion to $64 billion and announced an additional $100 billion investment in Arizona to build fabrication plants and packaging facilities for 2-nanometer technology.
