Here are the key news stories impacting Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Record Q4 results and strong guidance — TSMC beat Q4 revenue/eps estimates, reported ~35% profit growth, and issued revenue/growth guidance that signals the AI cycle remains durable, which is the core driver of today’s upside. TSMC earnings: Another record quarter as AI demand holds steady
• Positive Sentiment: Massive CapEx boost fuels long-term growth and supplier demand — management raised 2026 CapEx to a $52–56B range (midpoint ~$54B), a show of conviction in AI demand that should expand capacity and revenue over coming years. The $56 Billion Draft: Follow TSMC’s CapEx Stream
• Positive Sentiment: Trade deal and U.S. investment lift visibility for expansion — a U.S.–Taiwan agreement (large-scale Taiwanese investment into U.S. manufacturing and lower tariffs) reduces policy friction and supports TSMC’s planned U.S. fabs. That reduces a key execution risk for on‑shore expansion. Taiwan contract chipmaker TSMC’s US investments
• Positive Sentiment: Analyst upgrades and supply‑chain rallies reinforce momentum — brokers raised price targets (Needham, TD Cowen cited) and equipment suppliers (ASML, AMAT, LRCX, KLA) jumped after TSMC’s guidance, signaling broad industry upside that often lifts TSM stock. ASML tops $500 billion market cap as TSMC plans to spend more
• Positive Sentiment: Unusually heavy bullish options flow — large call buying indicates trader conviction that the rally will continue in the near term. TSMC’s Strong Guidance Supports the Stock’s Hot Start to 2026
• Neutral Sentiment: CapEx creates guaranteed revenue for equipment makers but raises near‑term cash outflows — the spending secures supplier demand (positive for suppliers) while TSMC also flags higher depreciation and near-term margin dilution as it scales. TSMC Plans to Spend $56 Billion. Why Its Motivations Matter for the Stock.
• Neutral Sentiment: U.S. expansion shows conviction but adds complexity — management says leading-edge R&D/production will largely remain in Taiwan, so U.S. fabs help diversification but won’t replace high‑margin Taiwan output. Execution/timing remain watch points. CNBC Daily Open: AI trade reignited by TSMC earnings blowout
• Negative Sentiment: Policy and tariff risks still exist — while a trade deal eased some concerns, potential U.S. tariff proposals and geopolitical policy shifts remain an upside/downside tail risk for cross‑border operations and margins. Investors should watch policy headlines closely. Trump Administration Offers Tariff Relief In Exchange For $250 Billion Taiwan Chip Investment
