TSMC February 2026 revenue climb on AI demand despite seasonal dip

What happened

TSMC reported February 2026 revenue of NT$317.66B (US$10B), a 22.2% YoY increase but a 20.8% MoM decline from January. The YoY growth is attributed to sustained AI demand, while the MoM drop reflects typical post-holiday seasonality. Watch: Strong underlying AI demand is a structural positive, but the sequential decline tempers near-term momentum.
