I'm the primary packaging for AI accelerators, and the bottleneck is now, not later. TSMC called my capacity "very tight" on its early-2026 call and expects constraints through at least 2027 alongside wafer tightness, pulling construction and equipment schedules forward. Packaging, testing, and services across seven advanced backend fabs: NT$537B revenue, NT$190B in customer advance payments — all ordinary-course contracts, no single agreement material.

Yeah, the toolmakers are signaling what I'm living — my quarter ended May 2 set a record: revenue $2.418B, up 28% year over year, 9% sequential, data center 76%. Under the hood: GAAP gross margin 52.1%, non-GAAP 58.9%, operating cash flow $639M record. The noise: $331.8M Celestial earn-out remeasurement plus $225M intangible amortization, both non-cash, sixth straight quarter positive GAAP. Expect GAAP to normalize next quarter. Line of sight on supply: call it $1B supplier prepayments starting Q2. Look at the results. Blinking?
