The company is now worth more than Broadcom and closing in on Meta.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited, more commonly known as TSMC, became the first Asian firm to reach a market capitalization of more than a trillion dollars as it briefly surpassed Berkshire Hathaway on June 20 to become the eight most valuable company in the world.
The company’s quiet rise comes on the wings of its massive portfolio of tech and manufacturing giants who source its semiconductors.
TSMC is the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer. Its top customers include Apple, AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Intel, and Qualcomm. However, Apple is by far its largest client, thanks to the use of TSMC semiconductors in iPhones, accounting for around a fifth of its total revenue.
