You can buy Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), under the ticker TSM. The company is the beating heart of the semiconductor industry, producing advanced chips for tech giants like Apple, Nvidia and AMD. These semiconductors are vital to chip makers and are used in pretty much all of global technology.
It’s extremely difficult to make these precision semiconductors, giving TSMC a wide competitive moat. TSMC technological leadership ensures dominance, but geopolitical risks with China remain a key concern for investors thinking about buying TSMC shares.
The whole process can take as little as 15 minutes. You'll need a smartphone or computer, an internet connection, your passport or driving licence and a means of payment.

Dividend payout ratio: 22.03% of net profits
TSMC has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.93% of its share value annually.
TSMC has paid out, on average, around 22.03% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.93% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 0.93% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In TSMC's case, that would currently equate to about 6 per share.
While TSMC's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
TSMC's next dividend payout is expected around 6 January 2027. To benefit from it's next dividend payout, you'll need to buy TSMC shares before 9 December 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
TSMC's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
TSMC's fiscal year ends in December.
TSMC's address is: Hsinchu Science Park, Hsinchu City, Taiwan, 300096
TSMC's shares were split on a 1005:1000 basis on 14 July 2009. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1005 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your TSMC shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 0.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for TSMC shares which in turn could have impacted TSMC's share price.
