Taiwan Semiconductor will stop producing 6-inch wafers within two years, and the efficiency improvement of 8-inch capacity will not affect financial targets

Taiwan Semiconductor will gradually stop 6-inch wafer production over the next two years and integrate 8-inch wafer manufacturing capacity to improve efficiency. This decision is based on market dynamics, aligns with long-term development strategies, and will not affect financial targets. Taiwan Semiconductor expects to raise its sales growth forecast from 20% to 30% this year, with third-quarter revenue expected to be between $31.8 billion and $33 billion. The company plans to maintain capital expenditures of $38 billion to $42 billion and advance global capacity expansion projects
