SG&A Spending Patterns: A Tale of Two Giants

In the ever-evolving landscape of global technology, the spending patterns of industry titans like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) and International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) offer a fascinating glimpse into strategic priorities. Over the past decade, TSMC has consistently outpaced IBM in Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses, reflecting its aggressive expansion and innovation strategies. From 2014 to 2023, TSMC's SG&A expenses surged by approximately 197%, peaking in 2024, while IBM's spending remained relatively stable, with a modest increase of about 31% over the same period.

This divergence highlights TSMC's focus on scaling operations and capturing market share, particularly in the semiconductor industry, which has seen unprecedented demand. Meanwhile, IBM's steadier expenditure suggests a more conservative approach, possibly prioritizing efficiency and cost management. As these giants continue to shape the tech world, their financial strategies offer valuable insights into their future trajectories.
