Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM  ) touched a one-year high today, after the company unveiled its Q4 results, which showed double-digit growth in key areas. Its net profit rose 32% on a year-over-year basis, to NT$42 billion ($1.4 billion), on the back of a 25% increase in revenue, to $131 billion ($4.5 billion).
