TSMC eyes US$54.3bn in 4Q26 revenue, but 2nm ramp and overseas fabs pressure margins

What happened

TSMC expects its fourth-quarter 2026 revenue to reach US$52.3 billion to US$54.3 billion, potentially rising as much as 61% year-over-year; this is a forecast, not an achieved result. The outlook is supported by sustained demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing and accelerating 2nm production. The source also notes (in the title) that the 2nm ramp and overseas fabs pressure margins; the body text does not elaborate on this margin pressure. The source does not state any other cause.
