TSMC approved three major board resolutions on July 11, clearing its second-quarter 2026 financial report, a NT$7-per-share cash dividend, and a capital budget of up to US$29.4425 billion, or about NT$950.3 billion. The spending plan, close to NT$1 trillion, underscores the chipmaker's confidence in future demand for advanced process technologies and packaging, with AI and HPC (high-performance computing) orders cited as key drivers. First-half consolidated revenue reached NT$2.4 trillion, about $74.5 billion, while net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company totaled NT$127.904 billion and basic EPS came to NT$49.33. The company said the new budget will be used for advanced process capacity, advanced packaging, mature and specialty technologies, and fab and infrastructure projects. TSMC had already raised its full-year 2026 capital expenditure forecast to $60 billion to $64 billion, with 70% to 80% earmarked for advanced process technologies, 10% to 20% for advanced packaging, testing, mask making and other projects, and about 10% for specialty process technologies. As of June 30, 2026, total assets stood at nearly NT$9.38 trillion and equity attributable to shareholders of the parent company reached NT$6.43 trillion, supporting further expansion.
