No SEC Form 4 filings for $TSM in the last 30 days.
Taiwan’s stock market has risen to become the world’s No. 5, according to the article, driven by an AI-led surge and the dominance of chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). TSMC is up 46% this year, and the gains have lifted the broader market and economy. The piece also cites a “prudent” view to take profits on half positions.
Taiwan’s AI-driven semiconductor boom is lifting growth, but some workers and non-tech industries say benefits are uneven. The article cites 2025 GDP growth of 8.63% and 13.69% in early 2026, exports up 34.9% to $640.7bn, and semiconductors at over 20% of GDP. It warns of a “K-shaped” economy and rising inequality.
Asian markets mostly rose Wednesday after Wall Street hit fresh records. South Korea’s Kospi jumped ~4.9% and Taiwan’s Taiex gained 2.7%, led by AI-driven buying of chipmakers; Japan’s Nikkei rose 1.3% to 65,816.62. Micron surged after UBS raised its 12-month target to $1,625. Oil fell (Brent $95.73), easing bond yields and supporting equities.
