Arizona Fab
In August, Taiwan Semiconductor achieved its first-ever profit from its Arizona operations in 2025, despite competition from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (OTC:SSNLF) and Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC).
The Arizona subsidiary generated 4.52 billion New Taiwanese dollars ($150.1 million) in net profit in the first half of 2025, reversing a loss of 4.34 billion New Taiwanese dollars from the prior year.
Taiwan Semiconductor's Arizona fabs support key clients, including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA), and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD).
The first fab currently manufactures 4-nanometer chips, while the second fab is preparing to ramp up production of more advanced 3-nanometer technology.
The company continues to expand aggressively in the U.S. and beyond, with plans to build four additional fabs and begin mass production of 2-nanometer chips by 2028.
To support its global manufacturing footprint, Taiwan Semiconductor secured 67.13 billion New Taiwanese dollars in government subsidies during the first half of 2025, up from 7.96 billion New Taiwanese dollars a year earlier.
The incentives provided by the U.S., Germany, Japan, and China help offset capital expenditures and production costs.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock gained 50% year-to-date, topping the PHLX Semiconductor Index's over 43% returns.
