Infusing magic into the data realm

SG&A Expenses: A Tale of Two Giants

In the ever-evolving landscape of global technology, operational efficiency is paramount. This analysis delves into the Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of two industry titans: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) and NetEase, Inc. Over the past decade, TSMC has consistently outpaced NetEase in SG&A spending, with a staggering 200% increase from 2014 to 2023. In contrast, NetEase's SG&A expenses grew by approximately 700% during the same period.

A Decade of Growth

From 2014 to 2023, TSMC's SG&A expenses surged from $24 billion to over $71 billion, reflecting its aggressive expansion and innovation strategies. Meanwhile, NetEase's expenses rose from $2.4 billion to nearly $19 billion, underscoring its commitment to diversifying its digital offerings.

The Missing Year

While TSMC's data extends into 2024, NetEase's figures for that year remain elusive, leaving room for speculation on its future trajectory.
