TSMC warns that the global chip supply and demand tightness will continue for several years, and revenue is still expected to grow by over 30% this year

At the annual shareholder meeting held in Hsinchu, TSMC Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei stated that the global chip supply will still be unable to meet the surge in AI demand in the coming years. Even though TSMC is expanding its capacity in the United States, it will be difficult to fully meet the needs of American customers, and achieving a balance between supply and demand will take a long time.

C.C. Wei reiterated that TSMC's sales are still expected to grow by more than 30% this year. The company's capital expenditure is expected to approach the upper limit of $56 billion this year, while global major hyperscale cloud service providers are expected to spend $725 billion in the AI sector. Affected by Broadcom's performance outlook, TSMC's stock price in Taipei fell slightly by 1%, but the cumulative increase over the past three years has exceeded four times. C.C. Wei also stated that the average bonus for employees will increase by more than 30% this year.
