Earnings PreviewThere’s a massive shortage of semiconductor chips across the globe stemming from last year’s COVID-19 related supply chain disruptions.
$Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US)$ is by far the dominant global producer at the center of the crisis.

Recently, TSM announced that it would invest a staggering $100B over the next three years to increase production capacity (including a $3.5B plant in the US) to address the current global backlog and accommodate a coming surge in demand around technologies like 5G service.
Analyst Estimates for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $12.83 billion, suggesting growth of 24.5% from the year-ago quarter. Further, the consensus mark for first-quarter earnings is pegged at 91 cents per share, indicating an improvement of 21.3% from the prior-year reported figure.As you should know, TSM reported fourth-quarter 2020 earnings results on January 14th. Revenues came in at $12.68 billion, an increase of 14% compared to 2019.
