TSMC Chip Constraints Threaten Apple's iPhone, Mac Output Despite Strong Q2 Revenue
AAPL sits 55% above its 52-week low of $193.46.
Summary
Apple reported strong fiscal Q2 results, with revenue reaching $111.2 billion (+17% YoY), GAAP EPS of $2.01, and over $28 billion in operating cash flow. While these Q2 financial results were largely disclosed in earlier SEC filings on April 30 and May 1, the company is now facing new, significant supply constraints from TSMC, which are limiting iPhone and Mac production. This specific detail about TSMC's limitations is new and builds on previous news from May 11 regarding a broader memory-chip crisis. The supply constraint presents a material operational risk, potentially impacting Apple's ability to meet demand for key products and could temper the recently raised 2026 outlook from May 16. Traders should monitor the severity and duration of these supply chain issues and their potential effect on future guidance and product availability.
