TSMC saw its shares reach record highs after the company posted a 39% increase in profits during the third quarter of 2025. The chipmaker announced net income of $10.1 billion, surpassing expectations and highlighting strong demand for its semiconductor products.
The company’s revenue for the September quarter was $23.5 billion, up 36.5% from the same period last year. September’s individual revenue came in at $10.2 billion, marking a 31.4% growth over September 2024. TSMC pointed to high demand for its 3-nanometer and 5-nanometer chips, often used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications, as a key driver of these results.
CEO C.C. Wei stated, “Recent developments in AI market continue to be very positive. Thus, our conviction in the AI mega trend is strengthening.” The strong performance led the company to raise its full-year 2025 revenue growth forecast to the mid-30% range. TSMC also plans to increase capital expenditures to $40 billion, aiming to expand its chip production capacity.
Gross margin for the latest quarter widened to 57.8%, up from 54.3% a year earlier. Chief Financial Officer Wendell Huang provided fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $32.2 billion to $33.4 billion. Wei added, “The explosive growth in token volume demonstrated increasing consumer AI model adoption, meaning more computation is needed.” High-performance computing, which includes AI and 5G chips, accounted for the largest share of quarterly sales.
TSMC remains confident in continued AI growth, regardless of market access in China. Wei commented, “If the China market is not available, I still think the AI growth will be very positive. I have confidence in my customers.” The company said it continues expanding overseas operations to meet increasing demand for advanced chips.
