[News] TSMC Speeds up Expansion in Taiwan: up to 10 Fabs Reportedly under Construction or Starting in 2026

What happened

TSMC is accelerating its expansion in Taiwan with up to 10 fabs reportedly under construction or planned for 2026 start, focusing on 2nm, A16, A14 nodes and advanced packaging. This follows the company's guidance for 2026 capital expenditures of $52-56 billion, a ~30% YoY increase. Bearish: Aggressive capacity expansion signals a long-term supply increase, potentially easing foundry pricing pressure for leading-edge nodes.
