TSMC stock was trading at EUR 417.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 9:43 a.m. CEST, down 1.18 percent versus the EUR 422.75 prior close. CNBC reported on October 8, 2026 that TSMC generated TWD 511.86 billion in September revenue, up 54.60 percent from September 2025.

September sales extend growth

The September figure equals USD 16.03 billion, according to CNBC, and followed a 0.60 percent decline from August. The monthly result brought third-quarter revenue to TWD 1.49 trillion, a figure that gives investors a clearer view of the quarter before the full earnings release.

TSMC's September revenue was its latest operating signal amid demand for advanced chips used in artificial intelligence systems. CNBC also reported that TSMC committed in September to using ASML's High NA extreme ultraviolet lithography machines for more advanced chip production.

Citi raises its target

As Markets Insider reported on October 7, 2026, Citi analyst Laura Chen raised her TSMC price target to TWD 4,000 from TWD 3,800 and kept a Buy rating. The report placed the target change ahead of TSMC's third-quarter earnings report on October 15, 2026.

The target action contrasts with the October 8 euro quotation, which sits below the prior Lang & Schwarz close. For valuation context, TSM trades between USD 266.82 and USD 487.47 over 52 weeks, while its market capitalization is USD 2.4 trillion.

Results date sets the next test

MarketBeat reported on October 8, 2026 that sixteen analysts had a consensus Buy rating and an average 12-month price objective of USD 524.89. The upcoming report will therefore test whether September's sales strength is translating into the profitability and outlook figures the market expects.
