I read the 2-4% gross-margin dilution from overseas fabs as the insurance premium priced into the income statement. TSMC and its customers accept this structural headwind knowingly, trading margin for geography. The expansion slightly weakens the margin story while slightly strengthening the resilience story — and quietly confirms the concentration risk is considered worth real money to reduce.
