TSMC shares rose in Taiwan trade on Wednesday as a major chip supply deal between AMD and Meta Platforms pointed to increased demand for the Taiwanese chipmaking giant, with investors also awaiting quarterly earnings from Nvidia, a key customer and bellwether for artificial intelligence and chip demand. TSMC (NYSE: TSM) (TW: 2330) shares increased by 2.5% to T$2,015.0, trading near recent record highs. The positive sentiment came after AMD (NASDAQ: AMD), another major TSMC customer, announced a five-year agreement to supply up to $60 billion worth of artificial intelligence chips to Meta (NASDAQ: META). As one of the few mass producers of advanced 5nm and 2nm wafers, TSMC has been a major beneficiary of the AI boom over the past three years, with its valuation ballooning on AI-fueled demand. The upcoming quarterly earnings from Nvidia, due after the U.S. market close on Wednesday, are particularly anticipated as the company makes the most advanced AI processors and relies on TSMC for manufacturing.
