TSMC recently announced a revenue of NT$759.69 billion (approximately $23.5 billion) for the quarter ending September 30. This figure represented a year-over-year increase of 36% and a 12.9% rise from the previous quarter.

Despite experiencing a drop of over 4% in stock value last Tuesday following a report regarding potential caps on AI chip sales to specific countries, Nvidia has bounced back strongly, with investor confidence remaining high.
