Bible 2Q25 – Foundries: Upside for TSMC; others at risk.
Today, we are publishing the Foundry section of our 28th 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. In the coming weeks we will publish the last section on Enterprise IT.Driven by strong AI demand, TSMC increased its 2025 growth outlook to 30% (from 25%). This still leaves room for upside, as it implies a QoQ revenue decline in 4Q. We are cautious on other foundries: consensus expectations imply 4% growth in 3Q and 4Q, but weakening end-demand in smartphones and PCs and a possible digestion of semi inventories in the second half of the year pose a risk.
