On July 24, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing fell 3.04% in regular trading, trading at 403.145 USD/share, with turnover of 1.064 billion USD. The semiconductor sector came under broad selling pressure, with SK hynix down 6.99%, Micron Technology down 6.75%, and Intel down 4.2%.
On the news front, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing previously reported record quarterly results — with net profit surging 77.8% year-over-year to 22.37 billion USD and gross margin reaching 67.7% — the market exhibited a classic sell-the-news pattern following the earnings beat. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has now pulled back more than 20% from its highs, formally entering a technical bear market. Analysts note the ongoing correction is not entirely fundamentals-driven, with the core catalyst being a style rotation as funds exit the highly crowded AI compute trade.
Despite strong underlying demand signals — including 3nm order visibility extending to 2027, a capital expenditure upgrade to 60-64 billion USD, and plans to raise wafer prices up to 10% in 2027 — valuation compression pressure across the sector continues to weigh on share prices in the near term.
