Taiwan Semiconductor delivered another record quarter, with Q2 2026 revenue of $40.2 billion landing at the high end of guidance as HPC climbed 20% sequentially to 66% of revenue on extremely robust AI demand. Gross margin expanded 150 basis points sequentially to 67.7%, ahead of guidance, and earnings rose sharply on strong operating leverage. Management raised its full-year 2026 revenue growth outlook to slightly above 40% in U.S. dollar terms and lifted the capital budget to $60-64 billion, while announcing an additional $100 billion investment in Arizona to support multi-year AI demand. The main cautionary notes were consumer and price-sensitive end markets pressured by rising component prices and macro uncertainty, plus a Q3 gross-margin step-down to about 66% as the 2 nm node ramps.

“continue to collaborate closely with TSMC on its CoWoS platform”
Marvell is co-developing MRM-based scale-up interconnect on TSMC's CoWoS advanced-packaging platform, underscoring TSMC's role enabling Marvell's photonics roadmap.
“I just wanted to revisit TSMC recent comments on High-NA systems being too expensive.”
An analyst cites TSMC's public view that High-NA systems are too expensive, implying TSMC may lean on Low-NA multi-patterning rather than early High-NA adoption.
“we announced our EPIC co-development engagement with TSMC, who joined as a founding partner together with Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix.”
TSMC joined Applied's EPIC co-innovation platform as a founding partner, a positive signal for the depth of Applied's engagement with the leading foundry.
“if on the back end competition is rising, especially coming from Intel EMIB-T”
An analyst frames Intel's EMIB-T advanced-packaging technology as rising back-end competition; TSMC downplays it, saying tight packaging capacity means competitor flexibility helps its front-end wafer business.
“TSMC make it clear that we work with ASML and try to make it more suitable for manufacturing in terms of the cost and in terms of the maturity.”
TSMC is collaborating with ASML on High-NA EUV but flags cost and maturity as gating factors for adoption, a mixed signal for ASML's newest tools.
“ASML just announced to expand the EUV capacity for 2028.”
An analyst notes ASML is expanding EUV lithography capacity for 2028, implying strong leading-edge tool demand that TSMC's competitors could also tap.
