Results arrive on October 15
TSMC is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results on October 15, 2026. Admirals reported on October 12, 2026 that analysts expected third-quarter net profit of NT$741 billion to NT$746 billion, representing growth of 64.00 percent to 65.00 percent from the same quarter of 2025.
The company has already reported third-quarter revenue of NT$1.49 trillion, up 51.00 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, according to Investing.com on October 9, 2026. That shifts attention from demand to profitability and the next outlook.
Margins set the earnings test
Yahoo Finance reported on October 6, 2026 that management guided for third-quarter revenue of USD 44.60 billion to USD 45.80 billion and gross margin of 65.00 percent to 67.00 percent. The same report said second-quarter gross margin was 67.70 percent, making the margin range a direct comparison for the upcoming release.
The operating question is whether the 2nm production ramp and overseas factory investment absorb more margin than expected. Revenue has already cleared the key hurdle, so a result near the upper end of the 65.00 percent to 67.00 percent range would carry more information than another sales record.
