TSMC Raises T$12.3 Billion Through Green Bonds

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (NYSE:TSM) has successfully raised $12.3 billion through its latest green bond issuance, highlighting the company's commitment to sustainability and environmental initiatives. This funding round, announced on June 19, 2025, is part of TSMC's broader strategy to invest in green technologies and reduce its carbon footprint.

The green bond issuance, which attracted significant investor interest, is a testament to TSMC's growing reputation as a leader in the semiconductor industry. The proceeds from this issuance will be used to finance various environmental projects, including the development of low-carbon technologies and the implementation of energy-efficient manufacturing processes.

TSMC's green bond issuance comes at a time when the company has been trimming its holdings in its own stock. According to its most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Waverton Investment Management Ltd. reduced its holdings in TSMC by 3.9% during the first quarter of 2025, selling 34,185 shares [1]. Despite this reduction, TSMC remains a significant part of the investment portfolio, accounting for approximately 2.2% of Waverton's holdings.

The company's stock has been performing well, with a 2.0% increase in value on Friday, June 13, 2025, reaching a price of $228.47. This performance is reflected in the company's strong financial metrics, including a return on equity of 31.43% and a net margin of 41.67% for the latest quarter [2].

TSMC's commitment to sustainability is evident in its recent dividend declaration, where it announced a quarterly dividend of $0.6499 per share, payable on October 9, 2025. This represents an annualized dividend of $2.60 and a yield of 1.14% [3].

The green bond issuance is a strategic move for TSMC, aligning with global trends towards sustainable investing. It also underscores the company's forward-thinking approach to business, positioning it as a leader in the semiconductor industry.
