Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM.US) released its estimated monthly and quarterly results. The company reported a 42% year-over-year increase in revenue in the first quarter of 2025, driven by growing demand for AI servers and smartphones. The growth, the fastest since 2022, was partly the result of electronics manufacturers stockpiling in U.S. warehouses ahead of new U.S. tariffs taking effect in early April. As a result, we could see a slowdown in growth in the coming months.
In the January-March period, TSMC posted revenue of NT$839.25 billion (about $25.5 billion), beating analysts’ expectations of NT$830.5 billion. March alone saw revenue increase 46.5% year-over-year to NT$285.96 billion. The surge in demand was also evident among US consumers, who were buying Apple’s latest iPhones in droves ahead of potential tariff-related price hikes.
