Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) will acquire new high-precision equipment by year-end, enhancing its chipmaking capabilities.
The Dutch supplier ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) will provide Taiwan Semiconductor with high numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet (high NA EUV) lithography machines, each valued at around $350 million, Nikkei Asia <a target="_blank" href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tech/Semiconductors/TSMC-to-receive-ASML-s-next-gen-chip-machines-this-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

ASML is also battling geopolitical tensions similar to those of Taiwan Semiconductor. The U.S. urged ASML to restrict its technology to China, citing national security threats.
ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41462749/asml-ceo-expects-us-to-apply-pressure-to-ramp-up-china-chip-restrictions-what-you-need-to-know" rel="noreferrer noopener">expects the U.S.</a> to increase pressure on ASML to limit semiconductor technology sales to China.
At the Bloomberg Tech Summit, Fouquet highlighted the U.S.&#8217;s push to curb China&#8217;s chip advancements through export controls.
Fouquet noted that ASML&#8217;s focus in China remains on mature chips, away from the advanced AI-related semiconductors central to U.S. concerns.
ASML expects 2025 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41603527/why-asml-holding-stock-is-down-15-this-month" rel="noreferrer noopener">net sales of</a> 30 billion euros and 35 billion euros ($32.7 billion—$38.2 billion), down from the prior 30 billion euros-40 billion euros, reflecting weaker demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
Price Actions:&nbsp;TSM stock is up 2.50% at $195.31 at the last check on Friday. ASML is up 0.76%.

What's Going On With Taiwan Semiconductor and ASML Stocks On Friday?

WIIM

Broadcom shares are trading lower after an analyst said Apple will reduce its reliance on Broadcom which currently supplies over 300 million Wi-Fi_BT chips per year.

Broadcom currently supplies over 300 million Wi-Fi+BT chips (hereafter referred to as Wi-Fi chips) per year to Apple. However, Apple will rapidly reduce its reliance on Broadcom. With new products in 2H25 (e.g., iPhone 17), Apple plans to use its own Wi-Fi chips, which will be made by TSMC's N7 process and support the latest Wi-Fi 7 spec. Apple expects to move nearly all products to in-house Wi-Fi chips within about three years. This move will reduce costs and enhance Apple's ecosystem integration advantages.

Shares of chip stocks are trading lower. The sector may be under pressure after AMD and Qorvo fell on their respective earnings reports and outlook. Additionally, SMCI may be causing sector uncertainty after its independent auditor resigned.

In the days leading up to Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41583865/what-to-expect-from-apples-fq4-earnings">highly-anticipated earnings report</a>, a lesser-known stock sent a warning signal to investors regarding the iPhone maker. 
Qorvo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>), which provides parts for smartphones, reported lower-than-expected as part of its earnings report, raising concerns about Apple's iPhone sales.
What Does Qorvo Do? Qorvo is a key supplier for Apple, providing parts for iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches. Apple buys wireless chips, antenna equipment and ultra-wideband technology from Qorvo. A significant portion of Qorvo's revenue comes from its partnership with Apple.
Qorvo's Report: While Qorvo beat Street estimates on both EPS and revenue, the supplier reported lower-than-expected guidance, which sent the stock tumbling. Qorvo's CFO, Grant Brown, said that he expects revenue and gross margin to be lower in FY25 compared to FY24.
"Looking forward, the flagship and premium tiers in the smartphone market are holding up well, however, content and ramp profiles vary by model, and we are experiencing unfavorable mix," Brown said on the earnings call. "We expect this to continue in the second half of fiscal 2025."

Due to this &#8220;unfavorable mix&#8221;and lower guidance, Qorvo's stock tumbled more than 20% Wednesday morning. Apple shares held up relatively well compared to Qorvo, taking a hit of less than 1%.
An analyst at Benchmark, Cody Acree, lowered his rating on Qorvo from Buy to Hold and removed the price target following the report, <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/qorvo-earnings-stock-price-a88b7b64">according</a> to Barron&#8217;s. Consumers are opting for less profitable entry-tier smartphones compared to more profitable premium and mid-tier phones, explaining Qorvo's weak guidance, the analyst reportedly said.<a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/qorvo-earnings-stock-price-a88b7b64"> </a>

Benzinga's PreMarket Prep, a daily show broadcast to YouTube covering the most significant headlines moving the markets, covered Qorvo's report on Wednesday morning's show.
PreMarket Prep co-host and professional trader Dennis Dick highlighted weakness in other Apple suppliers, as well as Apple's resilience despite seemingly negative headlines.
&#8220;Apple shrugs it off once again," Dick said.
"This stock is the honey badger stock of all stocks. The news flow has been terrible on Apple, it's had a lot of bad news in the last little while. At least rumors that the iPhone wasn't selling, they're talking about the Vision Pro, that's gone really south, then you had the downgrade from KeyBanc last week, they shrugged that off too." Dick said Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) are other Apple suppliers showing weakness Wednesday morning following Qorvo's report. Bucking The Trend: Not all Apple suppliers appear to be in the dumps. Corning Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>), the main glass supplier for Apple's iPhones and iPads, reported stronger-than-expected earnings Tuesday morning, paired with strong guidance. Corning's positive report could be a potential explanation for Apple's resilience despite the disappointing numbers from Qorvo. Read Next:

 </style>Through an analysis of Broadcom, we can infer the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
At 144.82, the stock's Price to Earnings ratio significantly exceeds the industry average by 2.04x, suggesting a premium valuation relative to industry peers.
</li>
<li>
It could be trading at a premium in relation to its book value, as indicated by its Price to Book ratio of 12.76 which exceeds the industry average by 1.36x.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 17.75, which is 1.56x the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
The Return on Equity (ROE) of -2.77% is 7.51% below the industry average, suggesting potential inefficiency in utilizing equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
The company has lower Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $6.39 Billion, which is 0.3x below the industry average. This potentially indicates lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
The gross profit of $8.36 Billion is 0.33x below that of its industry, suggesting potential lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 47.27% exceeds the industry average of 10.79%, indicating strong sales performance and market outperformance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730300413_0_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio indicates the proportion of debt and equity used by a company to finance its assets and operations.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
By analyzing Broadcom in relation to its top 4 peers based on the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following insights can be derived:
<ul>
<li>
Broadcom exhibits a relatively higher debt-to-equity ratio of 1.07 compared to its top 4 peers, suggesting a higher proportion of debt in the company's capital structure.
</li>
<li>
This higher level of debt can pose greater financial risk.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Broadcom, the PE, PB, and PS ratios are all high compared to industry peers, indicating the stock may be overvalued. In contrast, the low ROE, EBITDA, and gross profit suggest lower profitability and operational efficiency relative to competitors. However, the high revenue growth rate could be a positive factor for future performance in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry.

Understanding Broadcom's Position In Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment Industry Compared To Competitors

Chip stocks led by Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), Marvell Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), ON Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>), Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) are trading lower Wednesday in sympathy with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
AMD stock maintained its downward trajectory since Tuesday after its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41612007/amd-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-data-center-up-122-significant-growth-opportunities-ahead-" rel="noreferrer noopener">quarterly print failed</a> to impress the Street.
AMD reported third-quarter revenue of $6.8 billion, up by 18%, topping analyst estimates&nbsp;of $6.71 billion. The third-quarter EPS of 92 cents was in line with analyst estimates.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

OpenAI is ramping up efforts to produce its chip designed to power advanced AI systems, Reuters reports.
OpenAI&#8217;s move reflects its plans to seek alternatives to manage costs better and reduce dependency on existing suppliers like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Broadcom has been working closely with OpenAI to develop this chip, which primarily focuses on &#8220;inference&#8221; — applying AI models to make decisions based on new data. As demand for inference chips grows, OpenAI&#8217;s custom-built chip could eventually support more applications, complementing its reliance on training chips provided by Nvidia.
Securing access to manufacturing capacity with Taiwan Semiconductor has been part of the process. Sources indicate OpenAI plans to produce its first custom-designed chip by 2026.
Another notable development is collaboration with AMD. Through Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Azure, OpenAI will utilize AMD&#8217;s MI300X chips.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rosenblatt Securities: 60% Upside Potential With Server And GPU Gains</h3>
Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann is optimistic about AMD's ability to meet and slightly exceed the Street&#8217;s expectations.
Mosesmann indicated that AMD's EPYC server CPUs and MI300 AI GPUs are on a positive trajectory, particularly in light of expanding market share in the high-performance computing space. However, he expects "slight growth" in embedded segments and double-digit declines in gaming consoles, which could act as a drag on AMD's overall performance.
"We believe the shares are set to outperform the group after several quarters of skepticism around MI300's market share potential and mixed quarter results," Mosesmann said. 
Rosenblatt maintains a bullish 12-month price target of $250, implying a potential 60% upside from current levels.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs: Long-Term Optimism on AI Infrastructure and Server CPU Share</h3>
Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari indicated that AMD has underperformed due to downward revisions in consensus EPS estimates for 2024, which have dropped 9% since the beginning of the year, while competitors like NVIDIA have seen significant upward EPS revisions.
"We maintain our Buy rating on AMD given our expectation for sustained growth in AI infrastructure capex, a cyclical recovery in server CPUs, and continued market share gains in Enterprise," Hari said. 
He highlighted AMD's increasing x86 server CPU market share, which rose to 34% as of Q2 2024, from less than 20% in early 2022. 
Goldman Sachs estimates that AMD's upcoming next-generation server CPUs could further solidify its edge over Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) in total cost of ownership (TCO) and efficiency.

AI-themed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are witnessing a significant surge as asset managers capitalize on the growing enthusiasm surrounding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</a>. This year, over one-third of the two dozen AI-focused ETFs were launched, according to Morningstar.
What Happened: In the past week alone, three new ETFs have entered the AI sector, including one that was rebranded to specifically focus on artificial intelligence, Reuters reported on Monday. The total assets of AI ETFs have now reached $4.5 billion, approaching the $5.5 billion held by nuclear power-themed ETFs and surpassing the $1.37 billion in the cannabis sector.
Daniel Sotiroff, a senior analyst at Morningstar, remarked on the trend, stating, &#8220;I&#8217;m not surprised their ranks are multiplying.&#8221; 
He emphasized that the industry&#8217;s rapid pace attracts investors eager for quick returns, according to the report.

As per Benzinga Pro data, here are how some of the AI-based ETFs performed over the past year:
Global X Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOTZ#NASDAQ">BOTZ</a>): BOTZ, currently with net assets worth $2.51 billion and NAV of $31.59, climbed 40.39%. Its top AI-related holdings include Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and biotech firm Intuitive Surgical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>).
Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>): AIQ, which has $2.27 billion in net assets and $37.36 NAV, increased by 43.64%. Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) are some of its top AI-related holdings.
iShares US Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYW#NYSE">IYW</a>): IYW gained 50.72% in the past year. The ETF has an NAV of $155.42 and $19.24 billion in net assets. It also gives exposure to tech stocks like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) which have witnessed stellar growth, thanks to AI buzz.

Why It Matters: The surge in AI-themed ETFs is part of a broader trend driven by the increasing demand for artificial intelligence technologies. Recently, Nvidia briefly surpassed Apple to become the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41551461/nvidia-overtakes-apple-as-worlds-most-valuable-company-again">world&#8217;s most valuable company</a>, fueled by the demand for its AI supercomputing chips. This highlights the growing importance of AI in the tech sector.
Moreover, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41351070/imf-warns-ai-in-stock-trading-can-boost-efficiency-but-warns-of-increased-market-volatility">International Monetary Fund</a> (IMF) has noted AI&#8217;s potential to enhance market efficiency but warns of increased volatility and cyber threats. The IMF&#8217;s Global Financial Stability Report suggests that AI-driven trading could revolutionize markets, although its adoption remains limited. The report also cautions about the potential shift of investments to less regulated nonbank financial intermediaries, complicating market oversight.
