Bible 1Q25 – Foundries: Upside at TSMC, others at risk.

Today, we are publishing the Foundries section of our 27th Tech Infrastructure Quarterly Bible. The Tech Bible is a must-read for any tech investor, as it summarizes the quarterly earnings reports from the over 140 companies we track, providing an update on our key perspectives and convictions.

Tariffs didn’t trigger any guide down for 2025, although all flag macro as a risk into the second half of the year. TSMC maintained a 25% growth outlook, implying limited sequential growth in 2H despite AI, share gains, and cycles bottoming. We see room for upside. We are more cautious on the broader market; the 12% growth expected for other foundries looks optimistic.
