These stocks were poised to make moves Thursday:
TSMC, Nvidia - U.S.-listed shares of TSMC were rising 7.6% in premarket trading after the Taiwanese chip maker reported third-quarter earnings that surged 54% from a year earlier to a record 325.26 billion New Taiwan dollars ($10.1 billion), driven by demand related to artificial intelligence.
