Sony and TSMC are in talks to build a next-generation image sensor plant in Kumamoto, Japan, with an investment of about $6.4 billion.

TSMC is reportedly raising chip prices by up to 10% in 2027 to cover rising manufacturing costs, affecting clients like Apple and Nvidia.

TSMC projects its profit margins will be squeezed for several years as it accelerates factory construction outside Taiwan, including a $200 billion investment in the US.
