What could change its growth trajectory, and what would confirm it?
TSMT's growth trajectory now rests on optical-module and AI-server assembly work scaling beyond its traditional display business, as earlier estimates that AI- and optical communications-related business would account for about 5% of its revenue in 2026 and 2027 have now been raised to 10-15% reflecting a growing contribution from newer business areas, with customer output volumes and DDR5 revenue growth as the indicators to watch.
TSMT maintains a long-term partnership with US-based Applied Optoelectronics for AI data center optical modules. Monthly output for the customer is expected to increase from about 100,000 units at the end of 2025 to 500,000 units by the end of this year. Revenue from DDR5-related business is expected to grow by more than 20% this year.
