The Business Was Strong
- TSMC reported its best quarter ever with revenue up 33.7% and profit up 77.4%.
- It also raised its 2026 growth forecast, increased capital spending, and announced another $100 billion investment in Arizona.
The Market Wanted More
- The stock still fell because investors had already priced in near perfect results.
- When expectations are extremely high, even record numbers may not be enough to push a stock higher.
What’s Worrying Investors?
- TSMC is spending heavily on new factories, especially in the US, where costs are much higher than in Taiwan.
- That could put pressure on profit margins even as revenue continues to grow.
The Bigger Picture
AI demand remains strong, but investors are becoming more cautious about valuations. Upcoming Big Tech earnings will be the next key market trigger.
