(Bloomberg) -TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING CO. shares resumed on Monday and fell the most in almost six months as we caught up with artificial intelligence-related shares last week.
Most read from Bloomberg
The shares listed in Taipei slipped as much as 6.6 % and pressure on benchmark Taiex. Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. also fell to 9.2 %. The decrease is after the news that investors are involved in offguard due to the news that DeepSeek's AI models lead to US developers and may cause defeat with chip strains while they are closed on LUNAR's New Year holidays. It happens.
AI models with high costs of Deepseek are asking if companies need to have a considerable amount of capital to develop technology. This examined TSMC, the main chip supplier of Apple Inc. and NVIDIA Corp., and recently raised sales forecasts every year to increase the number of expenditures and spending on this year.
Gary Tan, a portfolio manager of ALLSPRING GLOBAL INVESTMENTS in Singapore, states: “In the near future, we will encourage emerging market investors to see high -tech hardware and potential AI winners in countries such as Taiwan and South Korea.”
The pressure on TSMC, which accounts for 39 % of the island benchmarks, may further accelerate foreign outflows from Taiwan. Overseas investors sold $ 1.26 billion in high -tech markets in January.
Jefferies LLC strategists said Deepseek's “potentially dramatic meaning” reduced the possession of NVIDIA and TSMC on global long stock funds.
Given the state -of -the -art technology and reasonable evaluation of TSMC, the Bulls maintain hope. Stocks are currently trading about 19 times before the average of five years. It is also cheaper than Intel Corp. 25 times and 28 times of NVIDIA 28 times at the end of Thursday.
Companies that have reported recent results, including Advantest Corp. and ASML Holding NV, are still in demand in the rise in spending around AI. This should provide TSMC support.
A specific product may experience short -term order headwind after the appearance of Deepseek. Bloomberg Intelligence's analyst writes in the memo.
