Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) posted fourth-quarter revenue that beat Wall Street estimates and a 34% jump in 2024 sales, as the company keeps gaining from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom.

Shares in the world's largest contract chip manufacturer are rising 1.25% in premarket trading Friday after the report.

The company, which supplies tech heavyweights such as Apple (AAPL) and Nvidia (NVDA), posted total revenue for the December quarter at NT$868.46 billion ($26.35 billion), a calculation based on its announcement of December revenue of NT$278.16 billion.

TSMC’s numbers follow record fourth-quarter revenue posted by Foxconn, another Taiwanese firm, also on the back of robust demand for AI servers. Foxconn assembles Apple iPhones and Nvidia products, among other things.
