Giverny Capital highlighted Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company as a leading contributor in its Q1 2026 investor letter, noting the stock held up while major customers saw valuation declines. TSMC's shares rose strongly over the past year (52-week gain 102.41%) and the company reported sequential revenue growth of 6.4% to $35.9 billion, beating guidance.

The company has opened an Arizona fab and plans to invest $165 billion in three more US plants, two advanced packaging sites and an R&D center as it scales capacity. » Altro su theverge.com
