Read MoreHide Full Article
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (TSM - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2023 results on Jan 18.
For the fourth quarter, TSM anticipates revenues between $18.8 billion and $19.6 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $18.99 billion, suggesting a decline of 4.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus mark for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.34 per share, indicating a decline of 26.4% from the prior-year reported figure. The consensus estimate has been unchanged over the past seven days.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise
TSM is expected to have benefited from the uptick in chip design activity.
It is likely to have gained strength from growth in high-performance computing-related applications.
Taiwan Semiconductor’s strong efforts toward innovating technology products are likely to get reflected in its fourth-quarter results.
The strong momentum across advanced technologies, defined as 7-nanometer (nm) and below, is likely to have benefited Taiwan Semiconductor in the quarter under review.
The solid adoption of 6 nm and 5 nm technologies is likely to have contributed well to the company's wafer revenues in the fourth quarter.
However, the impacts of softness in the consumer and data center-related end markets are likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarterly results.
Mounting expenses associated with setting up and operating semiconductor fabrication facilities overseas are anticipated to have hurt the company’s margins.
Also, rising macroeconomic uncertainties and rising inflationary pressure are expected to have acted as headwinds in the quarter under review.
