Key Stories Impacting Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing

Here are the key news stories impacting Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing this week:

• Positive Sentiment: U.S. officials are planning carve-outs for “Big Tech” chips from the next wave of tariffs, with exemptions tied to TSMC’s U.S. investment commitments — this reduces near-term tariff risk for TSMC’s largest customers and supports demand for the company’s U.S. fabs. US plans Big Tech carve-out from next wave of chip tariffs
• Positive Sentiment: NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang warned TSMC likely must roughly double capacity to meet massive AI demand — a signal of sustained order flow and continued multi-year capex that supports revenue growth for TSMC (but implies heavy investment needs). TSMC Must Double Its Capacity to Meet Massive AI Demand, According to Jensen Huang
• Positive Sentiment: Analyst and media bullishness is widespread: TSMC has been highlighted in Zacks/Yahoo bull coverage and included in lists of top AI/tech buys, supporting investor optimism and higher analyst targets (consensus targets imply meaningful upside). TSM Soars 69% in a Year: Should Investors Still Buy the Stock?
• Neutral Sentiment: TSMC is expanding capacity in Arizona, which is positive for U.S. presence and customer diversification — but Taiwanese officials are signaling limits on how much production they’ll relocate, creating a mixed operational/political picture. TSMC (TSM) Expands in Arizona, but Taiwan Draws Limits on U.S. Chip Shift
• Neutral Sentiment: Mainstream buy-list inclusions (Fool, InsiderMonkey, MSN) reinforce the long-term AI/capex thesis; they sustain investor interest but are less immediate catalysts than policy or supply news. Strong Analyst Sentiment on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) As AI Demand Drives Massive 2026 Capital Spending
• Negative Sentiment: Taiwanese officials have pushed back on U.S. demands for a large-scale (e.g., 40%) chip production shift to the U.S.; that resistance increases geopolitical and policy risk, which could complicate subsidy-driven expansion or slow U.S. capacity build-out. ‘Impossible!’: Taiwan slams the brakes on US demands for 40% chip shift
