Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 17, 2025
|% Change Since: >-0.01%
|Next Earnings Date:Jul 17, 2025
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call reflects a strong position in AI demand and strategic expansion plans, particularly in the U.S., which are positive indicators. However, there are concerns related to revenue declines in Q1, margin dilution from overseas expansion, and decreased smartphone and IoT revenues. Despite these challenges, the company maintains a strong financial position and has set optimistic guidance for Q2.Company Guidance
During TSMC's first quarter 2025 earnings call, the company provided guidance for the second quarter of 2025, projecting revenue between $28.4 billion and $29.2 billion, representing a 13% sequential increase and a 38% year-over-year increase at the midpoint. Gross margin is expected to be between 57% and 59%, while operating margin is anticipated to be between 47% and 49%. The company also expects to accrue a tax rate of around 20% for the second quarter due to taxes on undistributed retained earnings, with a full-year tax rate forecasted between 16% and 17%. TSMC noted potential impacts on margins due to overseas fab expansions, particularly in Arizona, contributing to a 2% to 3% margin dilution impact for the full year, potentially widening to 3% to 4% in the latter stages of their five-year expansion plan. Despite these challenges, TSMC remains confident in achieving a long-term gross margin of 53% or higher, supported by its technology leadership and strategic expansions.Strong AI Demand and Revenue Growth
