Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise
Taiwan Semiconductor’s strong efforts toward the innovation of technology products are likely to get reflected in the third-quarter results.
The solid demand for the company’s 7-nanometer (nm) technology is expected to have driven the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Furthermore, the strong momentum across advanced technologies, which are defined as 16nm and more, is likely to have benefited the company during the quarter under review.
Additionally, its deepening focus toward the full volume production of 5nm islikely to get reflected in the third-quarter results. Also, the growing production of 6nm is expected to have contributed to the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
Consequently, all these are likely to get reflected in the company’s third-quarter wafer revenues.
Further, Taiwan Semi is expected to have benefited from the uptick in chip design activity. The momentum in 5G smartphone launches might have bolstered the company’s 5G smartphone penetration rate in the quarter under review. Further, the company is likely to have gained strongly froman uptick in high-performance computing (HPC)-related applications.
