TSMC Announces Minor Technical Revision to Quarterly Dividend Payout

TSMC's Q3 2025 dividend per share is revised to NT$6.00003573 due to a reduced share count, while the total payout of NT$155.6 billion remains unchanged for April 2026 distribution.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has implemented a minor technical adjustment to its per-share dividend for the third quarter of 2025. The change, detailed in a regulatory filing, results from a slight reduction in the company's total share count.

A Filing Reveals Precise Adjustment

According to a Form 6-K submission made on March 2, 2026, the dividend per share has been set at a precise NT$6.00003573. This represents a marginal upward revision from the initially announced figure of NT$6.0 per share. The increase of approximately 0.0006 percent is a direct mathematical consequence of a decreased number of shares outstanding.

This reduction stems from the cancellation of restricted stock awards. With the total dividend pool remaining fixed, a smaller share base automatically translates to a slightly higher payout for each individual share.

Total Payout and Timeline Unaffected

For shareholders, the key takeaway is that the company's total capital allocation remains unchanged. TSMC confirmed the aggregate dividend amount will stay constant at NT$155.6 billion. The distribution is scheduled for April 9, 2026, with shareholders receiving funds based on the adjusted per-share value in early Q2.

This revision is purely procedural and does not signal any shift in the chipmaker's broader distribution strategy. The minuscule adjustment is unlikely to have a material impact on the vast majority of investors' returns.
