TSMC June sales second lowest this year

Taipei, July 10 (CNA) Contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) on Thursday reported consolidated sales of NT$263.709 billion (US$9.02 billion) in June, its second-worst monthly results this year.

According to a TSMC statement, its consolidated revenue in June only fared better than the NT$260.009 billion posted in February.

The NT$263.709 billion was up 26.9 percent from a year earlier but down 17.7 percent from May, it said.

Previously, TSMC said that high demand for its advanced 3 nanometer (nm) and 5 nm processes would be the main drivers of growth in the second quarter.

On Thursday, the company reported that its consolidated revenue in Q2 reached NT$933.792 billion, a record high for a single quarter in the company's history, representing an 11.26 percent increase from the first quarter of 2025.

Furthermore, revenue for the first six months of this year totaled NT$1,773.05 billion, an increase of 40 percent compared to the same period in 2024, TSMC said.

During an annual shareholders' meeting in June, Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei (魏哲家) said that despite the risks and uncertainties created by U.S. tariff threats, the company's clients have not made any changes to their orders, leading TSMC to keep its guidance for the year unchanged.

Wei also added that TSMC expected 24-26 percent revenue growth in 2025, similar to a projection made on April 17 when the company foresaw revenue growth of "close to 25 percent" in U.S. dollar terms.
