The world's largest contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co posted revenue of $511.86 billion New Taiwan dollars ($16.03 billion) for September, up 54.6% on the year prior, but down 0.6% on August.

Its third quarter revenue came around $NT1.49 trillion.

The company closed 1.35% lower ahead of releasing monthly figures.

TSMC, which counts Nvidia and Apple among its customers, has been a major beneficiary of surging demand for advanced AI chips.

In September, TSMC committed to using ASML's High NA extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, a key technology for producing more advanced chips, joining Samsung Electronics among customers adopting the technology.

It is scheduled to report its third-quarter earnings next week.

Correction: The story has been updated to reflect that sales did not hit a record high in September.

Samsung forecasts record third-quarter profit of $80 billion as AI boom fuels chip demand

Samsung Electronics reported preliminary third-quarter operating profit of 107.4 trillion won ($80.2 billion), exceeding 100 trillion won for the first time in its history, driven by surging AI-related demand for memory chips. Quarterly profit jumped 782% year-on-year, with revenue reaching 195 trillion won, up 127% from the prior year. The company cited its memory business as the key growth driver and announced a strategic partnership with French AI startup Mistral AI in September to deploy its models across semiconductor operations. Full Q3 earnings, including divisional breakdown, are expected later this month.
