TSMC reported consolidated net revenue of about NT$416.98 billion (approx. US$13.2 billion) in May 2026, up 1.5% from April and 30.1% from a year earlier. The figure set a new monthly record and reinforced expectations that demand for leading-edge chips remains strong.

In early June in Vienna, a robotics startup used its keynote at ICRA 2026 — the International Conference on Robotics and Automation — to show a robotic arm slowly and precisely shaving its founder’s face.

GEM Terminals reported consolidated revenue of about NT$428 million (US$13.6 million) in May 2026, up 71.83% year-over-year from NT$249 million, saying expanding global investment in AI infrastructure drove a surge in demand for specialty copper materials used in cooling applications. The firm linked the month’s performance to rising cooling needs at servers and data centers as computing density increased, and described the result as evidence of strong long-term momentum for its materials transformation strategy.
