TSMC talks about record sales of chips and says shortages may worsen

08.10.2021 , Ruslan Avdeev

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) sales hit record highs against the backdrop of a continuing shortage of semiconductor solutions used in all industries – from transportation to smartphones. For example, sales in September were up 20% year-on-year.

In the third quarter, the company’s revenues rose to $ 14.8 billion – almost the same level as market analysts predicted. Chips were sold for $ 5.4 billion in September.

demand for semiconductors ahead of the holiday season. However, the manufacturer has not been able to take full advantage of the deficit – the production capacity is already fully loaded. At the same time, part of the resources had to be allocated for the production of solutions that are not so expensive, but nevertheless necessary for the world industry: for example, semiconductors for cars, in this area the deficit is felt especially acutely today.

Large orders in the third quarter met a $ 14.7 billion sales target, according to Bloomberg, with orders for 5nm and 7nm chips from customers like Apple and AMD playing a big role. But the estimate of $ 5.97 billion in operational revenues may not be justified due to the rapidly declining demand for products for smartphones on Android, especially in the middle and lower price segments – this negatively affected the sales of products released in accordance with not the latest technological processes.

There are also signs that the crisis will worsen. According to Susquehanna Financial Group, from September the time from ordering until the chips arrive at a customer will grow to 21.7 weeks – also a record since 2017 (when the company had just started recording the relevant data).

TSMC is expected to release the official third quarter earnings report on October 14.
