Demand for Artificial Intelligence Chips Soars, Boosting “Taiwan Semiconductor” Stocks
In an unprecedented surge, Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC), the world’s largest manufacturer of chips and semiconductors, saw its stocks reach an all-time high on Thursday. This came after Morgan Stanley raised its target price for Nvidia, attributing the increase to the growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI).
TSMC specializes in manufacturing chips for companies such as Nvidia and Apple.
Following the price upgrade for American chip giant Nvidia from $603 to $750 on February 7th, Stanley noted that they continued to see an extremely strong outlook in the near term.
Shares of TSMC opened at NT$709 on Thursday morning and closed at NT$697, reflecting an approximate 8% increase from its previous closing price on February 5th.
With AI becoming increasingly integrated into various industries, the demand for AI chips has been on the rise. As a result, semiconductor companies like TSMC are experiencing a surge in their stock value.
TSMC’s robust position in the market, coupled with the growing demand for AI chips, contributed to its positive trajectory. The company’s ability to supply high-quality chips to meet this rising demand has led to increased investor confidence, thereby propelling its stocks to unprecedented levels.
The continuous advancements in AI technology and its wide-ranging applications have transformed AI chips into a critical component in the tech industry. This shift in demand is felt not only by TSMC but also by other leading chip manufacturers worldwide.
As TSMC continues to manufacture chips to cater to the rising demand for AI, it is likely that its stocks will continue to soar.
With their strong foothold in the semiconductor industry, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing market for AI chips and maintain its upward momentum in the foreseeable future.
