Hsinchu: Contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) on Thursday reported consolidated sales of NT$263.709 billion (US$9.02 billion) in June, marking its second-worst monthly results this year.

According to Focus Taiwan, its consolidated revenue in June only fared better than the NT$260.009 billion posted in February.

The NT$263.709 billion was up 26.9 percent from a year earlier but showed a decline of 17.7 percent from May. Previously, TSMC had anticipated that high demand for its advanced 3 nanometer (nm) and 5 nm processes would drive significant growth in the second quarter.

On Thursday, TSMC announced that its consolidated revenue for the second quarter reached NT$933.792 billion, setting a record high for a single quarter in its history. This figure represented an 11.26 percent increase from the first quarter of 2025. Furthermore, revenue for the first half of the year totaled NT$1,773.05 billion, marking a 40 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024.

During the annual shareholders' meeting in June, Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei addressed concerns about U.S. tariff threats but assured that the company's clients have not altered their orders. As a result, TSMC maintained its revenue growth guidance for the year. Wei also projected a 24-26 percent revenue growth for 2025, aligning with a previous forecast made in April, which estimated revenue growth of "close to 25 percent" in U.S. dollar terms.
