Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company CEO C.C. Wei on Thursday said the corporate is seeing “strong interest” from its leading U.S. customers and is working to hurry up its volume production schedule by several quarters.
TSMC is the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer, and the corporate has pledged to speculate a complete of $165 billion in advanced semiconductor manufacturing within the U.S. The corporate shared updates to its global manufacturing plans during its second-quarter earnings call on Thursday.
“TSMC will proceed to play a critical and integral role in enabling our customers’ success, while also maintain a key partner and network of the U.S. semiconductor industry,” Wei said on the decision.
The corporate reported $31.7 billion in revenue for the period, in addition to nearly a 61% rise in profit yr over yr, hitting a record high and beating estimates.
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened steep “reciprocal tariffs” of 32% in Taiwan, however the country is carrying out trade talks with the U.S., in response to local media reports. Trump warned of potential additional tariffs on semiconductors earlier this month.
“Looking into second half of 2025, we have now not seen any change in our customers’ behavior up to now,” Wei said. “Nonetheless, we understand the uncertainties and risk from the potential impact of tariff policies, especially on consumer-related and the price-sensitive, end-market segment.”
