TSM Stock Drops Amidst ASML's Revised Guidance
Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (TSM) fell 2.74% on Tuesday, mirroring the broader decline in chip stocks following ASML's revised guidance. ASML's lowered expectations for 2025 revenue, coupled with potential U.S. chip export restrictions, raised concerns about a slowdown in key semiconductor market segments.
TSMC, a major customer of ASML's advanced equipment, faces potential challenges due to the revised guidance. The company's ambitious expansion and technology upgrade plans could be impacted by delays in equipment availability or reduced capital expenditure from its customers.
While TSMC benefits from the surge in demand for AI, cloud computing, and automotive chips, it remains exposed to weaker demand in traditional segments like consumer electronics and smartphones.
The decision to sell or hold TSM stock depends on individual investor strategies and risk tolerance. Investors can compare the stock's current performance to its historical data to assess potential trading opportunities.
