TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING CO LTD 6-K filed 2026-09-10

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited filed a Form 6-K with the SEC on 2026-09-10, the report foreign private issuers use to furnish material information under Rule 13a-16 or 15d-16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The filing covers the month of September 2026 and carries Commission File Number 001-14700. It was signed by Wendell Huang, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and the company indicates it files annual reports on Form 20-F. TSMC is registered under CIK 1046179, classified under SIC code 3674, Semiconductors and Related Devices, and is a large accelerated filer whose shares trade as TSM on the NYSE and TSMWF over the counter. The substance of the filing is TSMC's August 2026 revenue report, dated September 10, 2026 from Hsinchu, Taiwan. On a consolidated basis, revenue for August 2026 was approximately NT$514.81 billion. That is an increase of 10.1 percent from July 2026 and an increase of 53.3 percent from August 2025. Revenue for January through August 2026 totaled NT$3,386.87 billion, an increase of 39.3 percent compared with the same period in 2025. For an analyst, this is a monthly sales datapoint disclosed between quarterly reports, giving a read on the year to date pace well ahead of the company's next full financial statements. The filing also reports the status of three other items for the current month: funds lent to other parties, endorsements and guarantees, and financial derivative transactions. The borrower under the lending line is TSMC Washington, a wholly owned subsidiary. Guarantees were provided to three wholly owned subsidiaries, TSMC North America, TSMC Global and TSMC Arizona. The derivatives disclosed are forward contracts held by TSMC, TSMC China, TSMC Nanjing and Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing, plus futures at TSMC Global that apply hedge accounting. None of the derivative positions are equity price linked. The specific balances for these items sit in the tables of the source document rather than in the summary language. What the filing does not provide is any breakdown of revenue by product, process node, geography or customer, any margin or earnings figure, any forward guidance, and any explanation of what drove the month over month and year over year changes. Those are not in the filing.
