TSMC’s revenues for the first half of 2018 increased 7.5% from a year earlier to NT$481.36 billion.

Based on reports from wccftech & Digitimes Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is expected to post sequential revenue increases in the third and fourth quarters of 2018.

Chip shipments for new and upcoming smartphones including the iPhones and Huawei’s Mate series have started kicking off, said the sources, adding that TSMC’s revenues will return to sequential growth in the third quarter following by two quarters of decreases.

TSMC is reportedly the manufacturer of HiSilicon’s Kirin 980 SoC that will power Huawei’s upcoming Mate 20 models.

“TSMC saw its June revenues decline 13% sequentially, dragging down its overall revenues for the second quarter by nearly 6% on quarter to arrive at NT$233.28 billion (US$7.63 billion). Market watchers attributed the revenue drops to a slowdown in orders for mining ASICs from Bitmain and graphics card processors from Nvidia.” Sources told Digitimes.
