TSMC in 2025 (II): We also expect a beat on margins Buy, NT$ 1,375

Two weeks ago, we published a deep dive on TSMC’s revenue growth outlook for 2025. We see material upside: while consensus expects ~24% growth, we expect nearly 30%, without relying on beats in datacenter AI.

Today, we publish a second instalment focused on TSMC’s margin profile. We expect a beat on gross margins next year, primarily driven by higher utilization and an easing of the headwind related to the ramp of N3, partially offset by the ramp of foreign fabs and N2. Overall, we expect gross margins to expand by 3 points to 57%, 2 points above consensus, resulting in an 11% beat on EPS.

TSMC is one of our top picks: Buy, NT$ 1,375 Target Price (50% upside).
