Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) announced a slowdown in its revenue growth in October 2025, which could be another indicator of weakening demand for artificial intelligence amid market shifts. In October, the company's sales increased by 16.9%, the slowest pace since February 2024. Analysts expect an average increase of 27.4% in the current quarter. TSMC is the manufacturer of chips that are preferred even by its competitors, including AMD and Qualcomm. The company also manufactures chips for Silicon Valley companies like Apple, which are required for the production of iPhones.
