27 May
Summary
- Nvidia CEO announced up to $150 billion annual investment in Taiwan.
- Taiwan is designated as the 'epicenter of the AI revolution.'
- TSMC shares saw a 1.6% gain in premarket trading.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed plans for an annual investment of up to $150 billion in Taiwan, focusing on chipmaking capacity expansion and strategic partnerships. Huang declared Taiwan as the "epicenter of the AI revolution," with the establishment of a new Taiwan headquarters designed to foster closer collaboration with TSMC.
This substantial financial commitment follows similar investments from other major US chip firms. Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su announced a $10 billion investment last week to boost manufacturing and partnerships, citing higher-than-forecasted chip demand. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is also reportedly scheduled to visit Taiwan this week.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, is poised to benefit significantly from these increased investments. Its US-listed shares experienced a 1.6% rise in premarket trading on Wednesday. Despite this positive stock movement, retail sentiment for TSMC on Stocktwits remained 'bearish,' with traders watching for the stock to surpass its all-time high.
