| Live: Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM) Crushes Q2 Earnings
Live Updates Live Coverage Updates appear automatically as they are published. Taiwan Semiconductor Price Target Raised 2:36 pm by Eric Bleeker Taiwan Semiconductor’s price target was raised by Goldman Sachs to $274. The bank has the stock on its ‘conviction buy’ list. Mid-Day Check-In: Taiwan Semiconductor Up 3.83% 12:00 pm by Eric Bleeker After dropping below $242 per share near the open, shares of Taiwan Semiconductor have been gaining throughout the day. Overseas Expansion and U.S. Fab Updates 10:38 am CEO Wei provided an update on TSMC’s massive U.S. expansion: $105B total for Arizona cluster, with production ramps accelerating on strong AI customer pull. “We are seeing strong interest from our leading U.S. customers and are working on speeding up the volume production schedule by several quarters.” TSMC is accelerating its global footprint to meet AI-driven demand, with CEO C.C. Wei detailing plans during the call: Arizona (U.S.): Total investment up to $105B for 6 advanced wafer fabs, 2 packaging facilities, and an R&D center. First fab (N4 tech) in high-volume production since Q4 2024 with Taiwan-comparable yields. Second fab (N3) construction complete, volume production sped up by several quarters due to customer demand. Third fab (N2/A16) underway; ~30% of 2nm+ capacity will be in Arizona post-expansion. Japan: First specialty fab (Kumamoto) in volume production since late 2024; second fab construction starting later this year, focused on CMOS image sensors. Europe (Germany): Specialty fab in Dresden progressing, targeted at automotive; ramp based on market needs. Taiwan: 11 wafer fabs and 4 packaging facilities planned, including multiple N2 phases. Wei stressed this is driven by customer needs and government support (e.g., U.S. ITC increase to 35%), aiming to make TSMC “the most efficient and cost-effective manufacturer in every region.” Foreign Exchange Impact and Margin Guidance Breakdown 10:12 am Digging into the Q3 gross margin guidance of 55.5%-57.5% (down from Q2’s 58.6%), TSMC CFO Wendell Huang attributed the dip primarily to unfavorable foreign exchange rates and dilution from overseas fab ramps. Key details: NT$ appreciation against the USD created a ~260 basis point headwind for Q3. Sensitivity: Every 1% NT$ appreciation reduces gross margins by ~40 basis points and NT$ revenue by 1%. Overseas fab dilution (e.g., Arizona, Kumamoto) expected at 2%-3% annually in early years, widening to 3%-4% later. Despite this, Huang reaffirmed a long-term gross margin target of “53% and higher,” emphasizing cost efficiencies and technology leadership. This isn’t a red flag—it’s macro noise TSMC has navigated before. Factor Q3 Impact on Gross Margin FX Rate (NT$ Appreciation) -260 bps Overseas Fab Ramp -100+ bps Utilization & Cost Improvements Partial Offset CEO's Outlook on AI Demand and Full-Year Growth 9:48 am During the earnings call, TSMC Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei emphasized the “explosive growth” in AI demand as the key driver behind the upgraded 2025 revenue growth target to ~30% (up from mid-20s%). Key quotes: “The explosive growth in token volume demonstrates increasing AI model usage and adoption, which means more and more computation is needed, leading to more leading-edge silicon demand.” “We also see AI demand continuing to be strong, including the rising demand from sovereign AI.” Despite this, Wei noted uncertainties from potential tariffs impacting consumer segments, leading to a “mild recovery” expectation in non-AI markets. This cautious tone could provide upside if macro conditions improve—echoing Needham’s note on further potential beats. Wall Street Weighing in On Taiwan Semi's Q2 9:19 am by Eric Bleeker Needham has issued a note on today’s Taiwan Semiconductor earnings, here’s what they like: Next quarter’s 8% QoQ sales growth is a significant jump from prior implied guidance of flat growth. The company’s full-year guidance remains cautious on macro uncertainties, providing further upside potential. They like that TSM is hinting at 2026 pricing increases. The news that NVIDIA can resume selling H20’s into China provides more upside in the back half of the year as NVIDIA plans to begin producing a Blackwell chip designed for the Chinese market. Needham has maintained its price target on Taiwan Semicondcutor at $270. TSM's Customer Mix 8:28 am Taiwan Semiconductor $TSM, the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer, reported record Q2 net income of $13.52 billion, soaring 60.7% year-over-year. It also raised its 2025 sales growth forecast, citing strong AI-driven demand. Taiwan Semi’s main customers include AMD… pic.twitter.com/U3leIDiWj1 — Jesse Cohen (@JesseCohenInv) July 17, 2025 Taiwan Semi Still Rising in Premarket Trading 7:19 am by Eric Bleeker Taiwan Semiconductor shares remain elevated in premarket trading. If the company’s 3.4% gains hold when the market opens, it will trade for more than $1 trillion in market cap. No Change to Capital Expenditures Forecast 7:13 am by Eric Bleeker One note: while Taiwan Semiconductor raised its revenue target to 30% for the year, it helds its capital expenditures to $38 billion to $42 billion for the year. Another note is that while gross margins were higher this quarter (58.6%), as the company continues to buildout fabs overseas its long-term gross margin target remains at 53%. Segment Analysis 6:22 am by Eric Bleeker Let’s take a look at Taiwan Semiconductor’s different segments last quarter: As you can see, the company’s revenue growth continues to be driven by HPC, which is mostly chips used for AI. However, strength is semiconductors has expanded to be more broad. The one segment that continues to lag is Automotive. Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM) reported Q2 earnings this morning, and like we recently predicted at 24/7 Wall St., it absolutely smashed earnings. In early after-hours trading the stock is up about 4%. We’ll be updating this live blog with analysis on the company’s earnings. The Need-To-Know Numbers from Taiwan Semi’s Q2 Report Revenue: $30.07 billion (Wall Street expected $30.00 billion) EPS: $2.47 (Wall Street expected $2.12) Both of those numbers beat, with the highlight being Taiwan Semiconductor continuing to deliver solid earnings beats. The company hit 58.6% gross margins, which was solidly above Wall Street targets of 58%. However, the standout figure from Taiwan Semi’s earnings was their Q3 revenue guidance: Q3 Guidance Revenue: $31.8 billion to $33 billion (Wall Street expected $31.7 billion) Gross Margin: 55.5% to 57.5% That revenue guidance is a big beat, and what is helping propel Taiwan Semiconductor shares this morning. The company raised its 2025 outlook to 30% growth (was previously set to ‘mid-20s’). The single area Wall Street could be upset with from these numbers is the gross margin forecast, which is below the 58.6% gross margins Taiwan Semiconductor posted this quarter. However, Wall Street can overlook the lower margin guidance with the company delivering such strong earnings guidance.

| Inherited $400,000? Here’s the Smartest Way to Turn It Into Monthly Passive Income
Key Points The SPHD and DIVO ETFs are ideal vehicles for volatility mitigation and reliable income. Furthermore, you can enhance your monthly income potential with single-stock ETFs. Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset’s free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don’t waste another minute; get started by clicking here.(Sponsor) If you’re fortunate enough to inherit $400,000, it may be tempting to spend that money on cars and vacations. However, the smart-money move is to invest the funds wisely and plan for your financial future. One approach is to invest that $400,000 in exchange traded funds (ETFs) that provide passive income every month. That way, you can reinvest the cash distributions and take advantage of the compounding effect. So now, it’s time to reveal four funds that unlock monthly income opportunities so you can turn your inheritance into a cash-producing machine. SPHD: A Reliable Pick for Low Volatility $400,000 is a whole lot of money to inherit and invest. Therefore, your first priority shouldn’t be maximizing your monthly dividends. Instead, it should be mitigating your risk so you don’t lose all of that money. When safety and reliability are your top priorities, the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (NYSEARCA:SPHD) is a solid pick. This fund has 52 stocks in its holdings, all carefully selected from the S&P 500 large-cap stock index. The SPHD ETF specifically chooses stocks “that historically have provided high dividend yields and low volatility.” Examples include Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), Realty Income Corp. (NYSE:O), Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ), and Altria Group (NYSE:MO). These companies are known for providing consistent dividend payments, and their stocks typically aren’t volatile. Furthermore, the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF features a 12-month distribution rate (i.e., a forward annual dividend yield) of 3.44%. Plus, the SPHD ETF pays out its distributions on a monthly basis. With all of that in mind, you could take $150,000 of your inherited $400,000, put it into the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF, and sleep soundly at night. Stay in the Safe Lane With DIVO With $400,000 to invest, you’ll have a large account and there’s no need to drive in the fast lane. Instead, you can stay in the “safe lane” but still get a passive income stream with the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSEARCA:DIVO). Much like the SPHD ETF, the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF seeks to reduce share-price volatility while providing exposure to high-quality dividend-paying companies. Moreover, like the other funds mentioned today, DIVO puts cash distributions into your account on a monthly basis. The Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF has 24 stocks in its holdings, and you’ll see plenty of large-cap sector leaders in there. Among the top holdings in the DIVO ETF are Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), RTX/Raytheon Technologies (NYSE:RTX), Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), Visa (NYSE:V), and Home Depot (NYSE:HD). Again, we’re choosing safety first and then aiming for good yield. Since the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF invests in great companies and features an impressive 4.73% annual distribution rate, it checks all the right boxes. Thus, it would make sense to allocate $150,000 of a $400,000 inheritance toward the DIVO ETF. Accelerate Your Yield With Single-Stock ETFs It’s wise to dedicate $300,000 of your $400,000 inheritance toward diversified low-volatility funds like SPHD and DIVO. If you do that, then you can invest the remaining $100,000 in ETFs with greater risk but also higher yields. To that end, YieldMax offers a wide variety of ETFs that each focus on a single stock instead of a diversified basket of stocks. Typically, these YieldMax ETFs derive monthly income from U.S. Treasury bonds and sophisticated options-trading strategies. One way to reduce the risk is to stick to YieldMax ETFs that focus on established large-cap companies. For example, the YieldMax AAPL Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:APLY) indirectly derives income from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock. Currently, the APLY ETF advertises an annual distribution rate of 26.99%. This fund shouldn’t be excessively risky as Apple is a reliable blue-chip business with staying power. So, you could invest $25,000 of your $400,000 inheritance in the YieldMax AAPL Option Income Strategy ETF. A reasonable plan would be to pick four single-stock ETFs with a focus on high-confidence companies. Then, you could allocate $25,000 toward each of the four funds you picked. A Mixed-Risk Approach APLY is just one example of many monthly-paying single-stock ETFs you can choose from. Here’s a summary of other funds in this category, and while you explore them, you might think about picking your four favorites: The YieldMax AMZN Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:AMZY); based on Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock; 47.82% annual distribution rate The YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:NVDY); based on NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock; 74.99% annual distribution rate The YieldMax GOOGL Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:GOOY); based on the stock of Google parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL); 32.9% annual distribution rate The YieldMax MSFT Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:MSFO); based on Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock; 34.9% annual distribution rate The YieldMax JPM Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:JPMO); based on JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) stock; 39% annual distribution rate The YieldMax AMD Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:AMDY); based on Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock; 68.07% annual distribution rate The YieldMax DIS Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:DISO); based on Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) stock; 38.55% annual distribution rate The YieldMax XOM Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:XOMO); based on Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) stock; 38.04% annual distribution rate Just to provide an idea of what your overall plan might look like, you could invest $150,000 in SPHD, $150,000 in DIVO, and $25,000 each in APLY, MSFO, DISO, and XOMO. All in all, you can mix low-risk ETFs with a handful of higher-risk ETFs to turn your inherited $400,000 into a fairly reliable monthly income-producing machine.The post Inherited $400,000?
