TSMC Lifts Capex and Revenue Outlook, Signaling AI Boom Has Legs
NVDA sits 28% above its 52-week low of $164.07.
Summary
TSMC, the primary manufacturer of NVIDIA's advanced AI chips, raised its 2026 capex guidance to $60B-$64B from $52B-$56B and now expects revenue growth slightly above 40%, up from more than 30%. The CFO emphasized that capex over the next three years will be significantly higher than the past three, reflecting deep conviction in the AI megatrend. This directly signals sustained, massive demand for NVIDIA's products, as TSMC's expansion is driven by orders from NVIDIA and other hyperscalers. The formalized $265B Arizona expansion pledge further underscores the long-term buildout. For NVIDIA, this reinforces the durability of the AI infrastructure cycle and supports the exceptional growth trajectory already priced in.
