Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. disclosed July revenue of NT$467.58 billion ($14.5 billion), up 44.7% year on year, reflecting an accelerating appetite for chips used in artificial intelligence applications.

The result puts TSMC $TSM ahead of its own full-year guidance. The company said it expects 2026 revenue to grow by slightly above 40% in U.S. dollar terms, a target it raised after its second-quarter earnings last month. TSMC also raised its capital expenditure projection to between $60 billion and $64 billion for the year.
