The world’s largest chipmaker on Thursday raised its full-year forecast to slightly over 25 per cent revenue growth in US dollar terms from its previous guidance of 20-25 per cent.
TSMC reported a 36 per cent jump in net profit to NT$247.8bn (US$7.6bn) and a 40 per cent increase in revenue to NT$673.5bn for the second quarter compared with the same period last year, outperforming the guidance it gave three months ago.
