  • Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) to disclose its 2021 capex plan at its upcoming investors meeting on Jan.14, reports Central News Agency.

  • Investor conference is scheduled to detail Q4 earnings and provide Q1 guidance.
    Quick look at TSMC Capex in past 8 years:
    It is likely to budget more than $20B in capex this year beating the record-high target of $17B set in 2020.The report further quotes that the company will utilize its capex this year for the expansion of its 5nm process capacity, installation of more-advanced 3nm process capacity (scheduled to commence mass production in 2022), and 2nm process R&D.

    Industry analysts believe that driving the capex is the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) machine cost of $123M+ which it plans to apply the development of the 5nm and 3nm processes. Arizona plant investment scheduled to start later 2021 is also likely to drove capex higher.
