TAIPEI, July 16 (Reuters) - TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, posted a 77% jump in second-quarter net profit on Thursday, beating market forecasts and hitting a record, riding the wave of surging global demand for its artificial intelligence processors.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, whose customers include Nvidia and Apple, saw April-June net profit rise to T$706.6 billion ($21.99 billion).
The profit handily beat a T$632.6 billion LSEG SmartEstimate, which is weighted toward forecasts from analysts who are more consistently accurate.
