TSMC Declines To Confirm Report of 2027 Price Hikes
TSMC has declined to confirm or refute a Nikkei Asia report that it will raise chip prices by up to 10% starting in 2027, saying it does not comment on pricing. The report, based on negotiations with customers that concluded this month, said the increases would apply to both advanced and legacy chips, with surcharges for customers seeking extra high-performance capacity beyond initial orders. Other chipmakers like AMD and Intel have already raised prices this year in response to rising costs.

TSMC Price Hike
REPORTER:
TSMC has declined to comment on reports that it could raise prices next year.
The company said Tuesday it does not comment on pricing, adding that its pricing strategy has always been "strategic, rather than opportunistic." The response came after Nikkei Asia reported that TSMC will charge higher prices starting in 2027, following month-long negotiations with customers that concluded in July. The reported price hikes will apply to orders for both advanced and legacy nodes, with additional surcharges for customers seeking high-performance capacity beyond their initial forecasts.
