TSMC posts flat fourth-quarter revenue but beats expectations
  + stars: | 2024-01-10 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Taiwan chipmaker TSMC reported a largely flat fourth-quarter revenue on Wednesday, but that still beat both the company's and market's expectations. Revenue in the final three months of last year came in at T$625.5 billion ($20.10 billion), according to Reuters calculations, compared with $19.93 billion in the year-ago period. That beat Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's, or TSMC, previous prediction for fourth-quarter revenue being in a range of between $18.8-19.6 billion, and also beat an LSEG SmartEstimate of T$617.1 billion drawn from 21 analysts. For December alone, TSMC reported that revenue fell 8.4% year-on-year to T$176.3 billion, which was down 14.4% compared with the previous month. TSMC, Asia's most valuable publicly listed company with a market capitalization of $491 billion, did not provide any details or forward guidance in its brief revenue statement.

A logo of Taiwanse chip giant TSMC can be seen in Tainan, Taiwan December 29, 2022. The likely decline in profit also reflects a strong performance last year, when the company was still riding high on pent-up post-pandemic demand. The world's largest contract chipmaker is set to report net profit of T$195.9 billion ($6 billion) for July-September - its second straight quarter of profit decline, according to an LSEG SmartEstimate drawn from 19 analysts. Given that, much of Thursday's focus will be on TSMC's outlook for the fourth quarter and beyond. Fubon Securities expects a slow start to next year for TSMC, with 10% growth in the first quarter, predicting order cancellations towards the year end and mild restocking demand.

Samsung, as the world's biggest maker of memory chips, smartphones and TVs, is a bellwether for global consumption trends. That would be Samsung's lowest quarterly profit since the third quarter of 2016 and compares with an operating profit of 13.87 trillion won a year earlier. Operating profit for Samsung's chip business likely tumbled by 78% to 1.9 trillion won, an average of seven analyst estimates showed. It had about 128.82 trillion won ($100.83 billion) in cash as of end-September. Samsung's mobile business is also expected to see profits shrink, with forecasts calling for a 14% fall to 2.3 trillion won for the quarter.
