On November 2, 2026, Tower Semiconductor reported a record revenue of $526 million for the third quarter, marking a 33% increase compared to $396 million in the same quarter last year. This growth is complemented by a gross profit of $179 million, which is 92% higher than the previous year, and an operating profit of $127 million, reflecting a substantial increase from $51 million in Q3 2025.

The company also reported a net profit of $120 million, which translates to a 23% net margin and earnings per share of $1.06 basic and $1.05 diluted. This net profit is more than double the $54 million reported in the same quarter last year.

In addition to these remarkable results, Tower Semiconductor provided guidance for the fourth quarter of 2026, projecting revenues of $600 million, which would represent a 36% year-over-year increase.

Russell Ellwanger, Chief Executive Officer of Tower Semiconductor, highlighted the company's robust growth phase, stating, “We are entering the strongest growth phase in our history, closing the year at $2 billion annual revenue and a $2.4 billion annualized revenue run rate.” He emphasized that the company is well-positioned to avoid the typical seasonal downturn in the first quarter of 2027, with a clear path to increasing revenues and margins.

Founded in Migdal Haemek, Israel, Tower Semiconductor operates as a leading foundry in the semiconductor industry, specifically focusing on high-value analog semiconductor solutions. The company serves various sectors, including industrial, automotive, mobile, and medical markets. As a large accelerated filer listed on Nasdaq under the ticker TSEM, Tower Semiconductor has established a global manufacturing network with facilities in Israel, the U.S., Japan, and Italy.

The recent filing (accession number 0001178913-26-004949) also included details about Tower's ongoing investments in capacity expansion, particularly in silicon photonics (SiPho) technology. Ellwanger noted that the company is targeting an annualized revenue run rate of $1.1 billion for SiPho alone in the fourth quarter, which is five times the revenue achieved in 2025.

These results and projections come at a time when the semiconductor industry is experiencing heightened demand due to advancements in technology and increased reliance on semiconductor solutions across various applications.
