📍 Aftermath

TSMC reported record second-quarter revenue and stronger-than-expected June sales driven by accelerating AI chip demand. Despite a 36% surge in second-quarter sales, the stock dipped premarket as the growth failed to offset Iran-driven market jitters.

Some reports questioned whether the record revenue would revive the AI trade.
