OLCV
The London Stock Exchange code is mistyped. TSMC’s LSE instrument code is 0LCV (zero), not OLCV (letter O).
Full reasoning
The article lists TSMC’s London Stock Exchange symbol as OLCV, but the London Stock Exchange’s own market page identifies the instrument code as 0LCV (starting with the numeral zero). This is a ticker-code error, not a naming variant.

joint venture founded by TSMC (70%), Sony Semiconductors Solutions (20%), and Denso (10%)
These ownership percentages are incorrect. TSMC’s official announcements show JASM did not launch as a 70/20/10 venture, and its later disclosed ownership was about 86.5% TSMC, 6.0% Sony, 5.5% Denso, and 2.0% Toyota.
Full reasoning
TSMC’s official 2021 announcement about creating JASM said Sony would participate only as a minority shareholder; it did not describe JASM as a 70/20 venture, and Denso was not part of that original announcement. In February 2022, TSMC announced that Denso would take more than 10% of JASM. Then, in February 2024, TSMC publicly disclosed the post-expansion ownership structure: TSMC 86.5%, Sony 6.0%, Denso 5.5%, Toyota 2.0%. That directly contradicts the article’s claim that JASM was a venture founded with ownership of 70% / 20% / 10%.

to power all global operations with 100% renewable energy within that same timeframe.
TSMC’s current renewable-energy target is earlier than that. Its 2025 annual report says the company aims for 100% renewable energy by 2040, while net-zero remains a 2050 goal.
Full reasoning
The sentence says TSMC’s 100% renewable-energy target is on the same 2050 timeframe as its net-zero target. But TSMC’s 2025 annual report gives different dates: it says the company is targeting 100% renewable energy by 2040 and net-zero emissions by 2050. So tying both goals to the same 2050 deadline is incorrect.

US$55.13 billion (2025)
TSMC’s 2025 net income figure is slightly off. The company’s 2025 annual report gives US$55.21 billion, not US$55.13 billion.
Full reasoning
TSMC’s published 2025 annual report states: “In US dollar terms, TSMC generated net income of US$55.21 billion on consolidated revenue of US$122.42 billion.” That directly contradicts the infobox figure of US$55.13 billion.

phases 2 construction complete with production in 2028
TSMC’s own 2025 report gives an earlier timeline. It says the second Arizona fab is expected to enter high-volume manufacturing in the second half of 2027, not 2028.
Full reasoning
TSMC’s 2025 annual report says the second Arizona facility has completed construction and that TSMC expects it to enter high-volume manufacturing in the second half of 2027. That contradicts the article’s statement that production is in 2028.
