TSMC Beats and Leads! Chip Sector Rebound to Pick?

ASML delivered strong Q2 results but management warned that it may not be able to achieve growth in 2026. The stock fell 10%. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. reported a better-than-expected 61% jump in profit for the June quarter, bolstering confidence in the momentum of the global AI spending spree. TSMC expects Q3 revenue of $31.8-33 bln in its earnings call (vs Q3 2024 revenue $23.5 bln). TSM jumps 4% in the overnight trading and leads chip sector to rebound.

Not sure if it will spark a semi con surge but I believe the semis have run up quite a bit these past few months, such that investors are skeptical as to whether the run can continue. Profit taking is on the table and fear is definitely high as these stock climbs further. So trade with caution. For long term investors, it does'nt make a difference in the grand scheme of things.
$ASML Holding NV(ASML)$ maybe a good thing.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ 🧠🚨📉 Nvidia’s $4T Juggernaut Faces a Crossroad 📉🚨🧠 Nvidia ($NVDA) didn’t just break records; it redefined the concept of market dominance. At a jaw-dropping $4T market cap, it now towers above Meta + Alphabet combined, surpasses both Apple and Amazon together, and overshadows the entire consumer sector with ease. But while Wall Street basks in the afterglow of its AI-fueled rally, fresh data, insider whispers, and dark pool flows suggest something more nuanced: a final euphoric push, followed by a seismic recalibration. 🔍 Setup I’m tracking an inflection zone. $NVDA closed at $172
This is a dead cat bounce, not a sustainable recovery. Everyone’s getting euphoric about TSMC’s beat, but I think we’re missing the forest for the trees: The AI chip cycle is maturing faster than expected. Yes, demand is still strong, but we’re already seeing signs that the hyperscalers (Microsoft, Google, Meta) are getting more disciplined about AI capex. The “buy everything GPU-related” phase is ending. TSMC’s advanced node capacity was built for a demand level that may not sustain. China is the elephant in the room. TSMC’s Taiwan location is becoming a bigger geopolitical liability, not smaller. Any serious escalation in cross-strait tensions sends this stock into freefall. The US is also pushing harder for domestic chip production - every CHIPS Act dollar going to Intel and others is a

TSMC delivered an outstanding earnings beat[Smile]  This is thanks to AI-driven demand. It is on a strong rally now, so it will be normal to have a mini pull back or consolidation. That said, AI chip demand is still accelerating, so there's still a lot of optimism for the rest of 2025.

$ASML Holding NV(ASML)$   ASML, the world's biggest supplier of computer chip-making equipment, warned on Wednesday that it may not achieve revenue growth in 2026 as chipmakers building factories in the U.S. await clarity on the potential impact of tariffs. Uncertainty in tariff talks has spurred chipmakers in the U.S. to delay finalizing investments, CFO Roger Dassen told journalists on a media call. Shares in ASML fell as much as 10.5 per cent and were on track for their worst day since October, dragging peers ASM, BESI, Soitec lower as well. Investors dumped the shares even as the Dutch group's net bookings, the most closely watched figure in the industry, came in 25 per cent above expectations at 5.54 billio
