TSMC Hikes Dividend by 28% and Projects Robust 38% Revenue Growth for 2026

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has announced a substantial increase in its annual dividend, targeting at least TWD 23 per share in 2026. This represents a 28% hike from the TWD 18 dividend planned for 2025, signaling the company's strong financial health and commitment to shareholder returns. In addition to the dividend boost, TSMC is guiding for a robust 38% revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026. The optimistic outlook is primarily driven by the sustained and surging demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies globally. Despite ongoing geopolitical risks, the company's leadership in the semiconductor foundry market remains unchallenged. This guidance provides a bullish signal for the broader semiconductor sector and key partners within the AI supply chain.
