Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (US8740391003) stock traded at $415.95 on September 3, 2026, with a market capitalization of $2.16 trillion and a 1-year range of $228.60 to $479.00. The latest market snapshot also shows a price-to-earnings ratio of 30.01 and a beta of 1.39.

Equipment spending is higher

Caixin Global reported on September 3, 2026, that TSMC has raised its quarterly equipment procurement estimate to about 1.9 times the forecast made last December. That lines up with the group building about 20 factories worldwide while facing a shortage of experienced construction workers.

The same report ties the move to AI developers and large data center buildouts, which keeps capital intensity at the center of the TSMC story. For investors, that means the scale of spending is now as important as demand growth itself.

Quarter results still set the base

MarketBeat said on September 3, 2026, that TSMC reported revenue of $39.89 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with EPS of $4.28 and a net margin of 50.31 percent. The same source put return on equity at 39.25 percent.

On the same update, analysts were shown with an average rating of Buy and a consensus target price of $523.22. Against the September 3, 2026 opening price of $415.95, that implies a gap of $107.27.
