Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. reported record unaudited consolidated revenue of NT$514.8 billion for August, extending the chipmaker's run of monthly sales highs. TSMC's release supplied the figures, while CNBC and Investing.com independently reported the record.[1][2][3]
The August total was 53.3% higher than a year earlier and 10.1% above July. The company had reported NT$467.58 billion of revenue for July, which was itself a record at the time.[1][2][3]
Cumulative revenue for the first eight months of 2026 reached NT$3.38 trillion, an increase of 39.3% from the comparable 2025 period. Monthly revenue can be volatile and does not disclose margins, expenses or profit, so the release should not be read as a full earnings statement.[1][3]
TSMC is the world's largest contract chipmaker and manufactures advanced processors for customers including Nvidia and Apple. Independent coverage linked the sales growth to sustained demand for advanced chips used in artificial-intelligence computing, but TSMC did not provide product-level revenue detail in the brief monthly release.[2][3]
The company is scheduled to publish September monthly sales on October 8. That release will provide the next checkpoint for TSMC's revenue trajectory, while fuller profitability and guidance details will come with its quarterly results.[4]
