<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">Semiconductor ETFs </a>are attracting investor attention this week as the industry finds itself at the focal point of global trade tensions. U.S. President Donald Trump is poised to announce new tariff levels on foreign semiconductors within days, a move that could remake supply chains and spook markets already nervous following recent trade volatility.
While the White House considers the shape of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">future chip industry</a>, investors are focusing on ETFs with heavy exposure to chipmakers. Whether tariffs fuel more market volatility or offer a buying opportunity largely depends on how the policy plays out over the next few weeks.

3 Semiconductor ETFs To Watch Amid Tariff Headlines
iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>)
One of the sector&#8217;s most liquid and best-followed funds, SOXX provides exposure to U.S.-listed behemoths such as Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), and Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>). As it is based on global manufacturing and cross-border supply chains, SOXX may be vulnerable to import tariffs and higher component prices.
VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>)
SMH is distinguished by its international makeup, featuring giants such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and ASML Holding&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>). Taiwan&#8217;s tariff talks with the U.S. will be important here, particularly if the island achieves exemptions that may protect SMH&#8217;s non-U.S. holdings from policy jolts.
SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XSD#NYSE">XSD</a>)
An equally weighted ETF, XSD leans slightly more toward small and mid-cap chipmakers such as ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) and some large-cap ones like Texas Instruments Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>). It may provide a hedge against large-cap concentration risk if giants like Nvidia or TSMC are subject to tariff pressure.
The Policy Backdrop: Tariffs, Taiwan And Tech
Trump&#8217;s planned action is part of a larger national security investigation into the electronics supply chain, unveiled over the weekend. Whereas smartphones and laptops had previously been spared recent retaliatory tariffs on China, officials now indicate that advanced technology products—such as semiconductors, personal electronics, and medicines—will soon bear standalone duties, as reported by Reuters.
On Sunday, Trump said that the White House wants to simplify the chip market from many other companies and aims to produce chips in the U.S., adding that some companies might be allowed flexibility in implementation. He said new tariff levels on foreign semiconductors will be announced this week.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed that a &#8220;special focus-type of tariff&#8221; on fundamental tech imports will be introduced over the next two months. The standalone regime would operate in parallel to reciprocal tariffs, which, according to Reuters, rose to 125% on Chinese imports last week.
The uncertainty has unsettled markets. The S&amp;P 500 has fallen over 10% since Trump&#8217;s Jan. 20 inauguration, and the chip sector has experienced some of the deepest intraday plunges in months.
Simultaneously, Taiwan, which plays a vital role in the world chip community, has been positively negotiating with Washington to avoid getting engulfed in the tariff wave. President Lai Ching-te affirmed that the initial dialogue has been &#8220;smooth,&#8221; and Taipei is looking to turn the crisis into a silver lining as far as deep trade integration with Washington is concerned, as per another Reuters report. TSMC&#8217;s latest promise of further investing $100 billion in America complements such a strategy.
While the world holds its breath for what Trump will do next, investors in semiconductor ETFs are keeping a close watch. Whether the result produces tariff clarity or more turbulence, the industry is at the crossroads of geopolitics, policy and market performance.

Chip Shock: 3 Hot Semiconductor ETFs To Watch As Trump's Tariff Bomb Ticks

U.S. technology-linked ETFs endured a wave of selling pressure in March 2025 as investor enthusiasm for the artificial intelligence boom cooled and macroeconomic uncertainties—from tariff risks to geopolitical tensions—dampened appetite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/technology-stocks">for high-growth names.</a>
The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which tracks the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index, plunged 9.1% in March, its worst monthly performance since December 2022. 
Unlike previous corrections, where dip-buying quickly followed. This time, investors pulled back. QQQ posted $1.4 billion in outflows, snapping a four-month streak of inflows and signaling rising caution.
The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) slumped 10%, marking its steepest one-month drop since September 2022. The ETF also bled $770 million in March, bringing combined outflows over the past two months to more than $1.1 billion.
Semiconductor-related ETFs—previously the poster children of the AI revolution—were particularly hard hit.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) suffered $200 million in outflows, marking the fourth straight month of capital leakage. 
The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XSD#NYSE">XSD</a>) recorded outflows of $210 million and $40 million, respectively. 
These ETFs have entered a bear market after falling more than 20% from their late 2024 peak.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation Reset: The AI Trade Comes Back to Earth</h3>
According to Ed Yardeni, president at Yardeni Research, the semiconductor sector has now "mostly erased its valuation premium" over the broader market—an edge it had built up since the debut of ChatGPT in late 2022.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve opined that DeepSeek would be a net positive for AI demand, as cheaper training and model proliferation helps non-tech companies adopt AI and boost productivity. Perhaps there was a mini-bubble built up on AI euphoria,&#8221; Yardeni said in a recent note. 
Yet, he also expressed room for optimism.
&#8220;Since the Magnficent-7 stocks&#8217; long-term earnings expectations and valuation multiples already have realigned closer to historical averages without a bear market or recession, we think further downside for the AI trade is limited,&#8221; Yardeni added.

Tech-Linked ETFs Suffer Outflows In March As AI 'Mini Bubble' Pops On Tariff Panic

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) is experiencing profound strategic shifts under the guidance of its new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan. As the company reorganizes its executive ranks and streamlines its chip manufacturing focus, investors looking for exposure to Intel shares might find ETFs an attractive way to take advantage of these changes. Three <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs with significant Intel stock holdings</a> that could gain from the company&#8217;s shift are outlined below.
iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>)
The iShares Semiconductor ETF is among the most widely held ETFs to track the semiconductor sector, with a high concentration in top chipmakers such as Intel. Based on its most recent holdings, Intel accounts for a decent percentage of the fund&#8217;s assets, making SOXX an excellent vehicle for investors who are optimistic about Intel&#8217;s foundry growth and cooling technology innovations.
Intel&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44532855/intels-superfluid-cooling-tech-possibly-suitable-for-nvidias-gb300-chips-says-expert-amid-intcs-efforts-to-secure-commitments-for-foundry-services">SuperFluid cooling technology has drawn attention</a> for possible applications in Nvidia&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell Ultra GB300 AI chips, indicating a vital spot in the AI-fueled semiconductor space. If Intel manages to make Nvidia a foundry customer, SOXX might experience additional growth fueled by Intel&#8217;s strategic shift.
VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>)
VanEck Semiconductor ETF offers focused exposure to semiconductor leaders, including shares of Intel. The fund is a good choice for investors who want to ride the tide of Intel&#8217;s foundry plans and next-generation packaging technologies that will challenge Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Intel is accelerating its 18A process node and securing United Microelectronics Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>) for late 2026 production collaborations. This may cause SMH investors to eventually realize an upside if the moves win over heavy-duty tech customers such as Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).
SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XSD#NYSE">XSD</a>)
The SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF has a similar equal-weighted strategy to semiconductor stocks, with broad-based sector exposure without compromising on its holdings of Intel stock. Investors get a chance to bet on Intel&#8217;s turnaround while hedging single-stock risk, via this ETF.
Intel&#8217;s leadership restructuring, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44532562/intel-board-shake-up-continues-as-three-directors-exit-amid-leadership-overhaul-under-ceo-lip-bu-tan">three members stepping down</a>, indicates that the company is leaning more toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44355124/intels-new-ceo-charts-bold-revival-plan-warns-of-tough-decisions-ahead-reports">Tan&#8217;s vision of maximizing chip design</a> and manufacturing. ETFs like XSD could benefit from Intel&#8217;s potential recovery in the semiconductor space.

Allegro MicroSystems Board Deems ON Semiconductor's $6.9B Offer 'Inadequate'

JX Advanced Metals, a subsidiary of oil titan Eneos, is planning to raise an estimated ¥460 billion ($3 billion) through an initial public offering (IPO). This IPO is anticipated to be the largest in Japan since 2018.
What Happened: The firm has proposed a tentative price of ¥862 ($5.65) per share, as per a submission to the Finance Ministry. The final price will be determined on March 10, with JX Advanced Metals slated for its Tokyo Stock Exchange listing on March 19, <a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/02/14/companies/jx-advanced-metals-ipo/">reported</a> The Japan Times on Friday.
If the IPO goes as planned, it will outshine last year&#8217;s significant IPO of subway operator&nbsp;Tokyo Metro and will be the most significant since SoftBank&#8216;s listing in December 2018.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/43690698/broadcom-stock-why-the-upside-is-too-good-to-ignore">Broadcom Stock: Why the Upside Is Too Good to Ignore</a>
Why It Matters: The move by JX Advanced Metals comes at a time when the semiconductor industry is under pressure. JX holds approximately 60% of the global market share for sputtering target materials, critical for semiconductor circuitry. Thus, the IPO will also serve as an indicator of global demand for chips, a crucial element in the rapidly advancing AI sector. 
On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump warned of potential tariffs of up to 100% on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43685791/taiwan-semiconductor-could-be-the-lifeline-intel-needs-as-rumors-swirl-of-a-us-backed-joint-venture">semiconductor exports from Taiwan to the U.S</a>., aiming to incentivize chip manufacturers to relocate their production facilities to the United States. However, Bob O'Donnell, chief analyst and founder of TECHnalysis Research told the Central News Agency&nbsp;that economic sanctions won't instantly enhance chip manufacturing in the U.S., as constructing a chip fabrication facility takes billions of dollars and several years to complete. "It will have a huge negative impact on every tech-related industry," cautioned O'Donnell.
Meanwhile, a report by Reuters today suggests that The White House is looking to revise U.S. CHIPS and Science Act awards and has indicated potential delays in upcoming semiconductor funding distributions. The event is likely to have a major impact on the operations of U.S. chip makers like Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).

Major Japanese Chip Material Supplier Eyes Record-Breaking $3 Billion IPO—Japan's Largest Since SoftBank's 2018 Debut

The emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence startup <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43232316/deepseek-jitters-shatter-us-tech-stocks-wipe-out-12-trillion-on-wall-street-analyst-eyes-four-chinese-giants-set-to-benefit">rattled the markets</a> on Monday. However, as AI demand continues to rise many described the reaction to be "overdramatic" and suggested to "buy the dip". Here is a list of top semiconductor exchange-traded funds, with the lowest expense ratios that investors could consider. 
What Happened: As DeepSeek boasts of high performance at a significantly lower cost, semiconductor stocks which are the backbone of AI development, bore the brunt of the selloff.
"To me, it's an overreaction," Fundstrat Global Advisors‘ head of research Tom Lee <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/27/tom-lee-calls-market-sell-off-overreaction-nvidia-falls-on-deepseek-news.html?taid=67980792a96d920001c44f58&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter%7Cmain">told </a>CNBC's "Closing Bell," comparing the drop to Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) March 2020 decline that proved to be a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43259288/fundstrats-tom-lee-sees-nvidias-17-plunge-as-an-opportunity-calls-nasdaqs-over-600-points-plunge-drop-a-market-overreaction">entry point</a> for investors.
Similarly, Subho Moulik, the founder and CEO of Appreciate said, "The sudden emergence of DeepSeek is a Sputnik-like moment for the U.S. and potentially undermines U.S. AI exceptionalism, but we see yesterday's panic selling to be overdramatic."
As Nvidia shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43259288/fundstrats-tom-lee-sees-nvidias-17-plunge-as-an-opportunity-calls-nasdaqs-over-600-points-plunge-drop-a-market-overreaction">plunged</a> 17% on Monday, eroding $593 billion in <a href="https://x.com/charliebilello/status/1884009665597690125">market capitalization</a>, Moulik said, "It's not just Nvidia, the other semicaps that took a battering in the markets – Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Micron Technology Inc.

Investors could consider buying ETFs with a low expense ratio to "buy on dip." An expense ratio is a percentage that represents the annual cost of owning a fund or an ETF which is calculated by dividing a fund&#8217;s operating expenses by its net assets.
According to <a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/etfs-how-much-do-they-really-cost#:~:text=Investors%20should%20consider%20the%20impact,significantly%20erode%20returns%20over%20time.">Charles Schwab</a>, &#8220;ETFs with lower expense ratios and lower trading costs typically offer better value to investors, because higher expense ratios and/or steeper trading costs may significantly erode returns over time.&#8221;

Why It Matters: According to Moulik, DeepSeek&#8217;s claim of lower training costs of $6 million vs ChatGPT&#8217;s $100 million plus, remains unverified. The Chinese firm's reliance on less-advanced Nvidia chips, due to U.S. chip export restrictions, could also hinder its ability to maintain a competitive edge in AI development.
Even if DeepSeek&#8217;s cost claims hold, it&#8217;s still positive for Big Tech, said Moulik, as AI extends beyond Large Language Models. Cost-effective LLM training allows U.S. companies to prioritize <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/43222744/verizon-launches-ai-connect-as-mckinsey-predicts-that-60-70-of-ai-workload-will-shift-from-training-to-inferencing-by-2030">LLM inferencing</a> – the next stage. Inferencing involves applying pre-trained LLMs for real-world tasks, optimizing AI investments by shifting focus from costly training to scalable, practical applications, ultimately driving long-term growth.
"For industry leaders like Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc., this means redirecting massive spending from training infrastructure to real-world applications such as search, customer service, and automation," added Moulik. Cloud servers like Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s Amazon Web Service could benefit too.
Although the short-term will be bumpy, the long-term runway appears stable, added Moulik, "Unless DeepSeek drops another Chinese New Year gift to the world later&nbsp;this&nbsp;year.&#8221;

DeepSeek Buzz Batters Big Tech But This Analyst Says 'Buy The Dip:' Here's Are Top 5 Semiconductor ETFs With The Lowest Expense Ratios That You Can Consider

The U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">semiconductor </a>sector is going through nail-biting times as further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42897081/nvidia-and-ai-chip-stocks-brace-for-impact-as-biden-administration-considers-new-china-export-ban-report">potential sanctions on the export of artificial intelligence chips</a> to China loom.
What Happened: Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) was recently left with a bitter taste after its big tech customers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42970112/nvidia-order-delays-and-ai-sanctions-threaten-global-sales-offer-growth-opportunity-for-us-tech-giants">deferred billions of dollars in orders</a>.
As geopolitics shakes up the industry, investors are monitoring the ramifications for exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, tied to the sector. Here are three such ETFs, among many others, that are caught in the crosshairs:
<ul>
<li>VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>): This ETF&#8217;s top holdings include Nvidia, Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). Each company is deeply involved in AI chip production and data center infrastructure. This makes the ETF particularly vulnerable to regulatory changes in this space.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>): This ETF boasts holdings in Nvidia, Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), and Broadcom. Potential export restrictions could disrupt these companies' revenue streams, naturally causing ripples in the ETF's performance.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XSD#NYSE">XSD</a>): This ETF has an equal-weighted structure that diversifies the exposure across semiconductor firms. Its significant allocations in Nvidia, AMD, and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) make it vulnerable to export restrictions.</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia Faces Double Whammy</h3>
The Biden administration is reportedly considering a new set of sanctions over the next few days. According to a Bloomberg report, the new sanctions may include a three-tier framework targeting AI chip exports, aiming to curb China's access to advanced technology. These restrictions could take effect before Donald Trump assumes office on Jan. 20.
Nvidia, a sector heavyweight, faces a double whammy. In addition to the potential export restrictions, Nvidia's hyperscaler customers — Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon&#8217;s (NADAQ: AMZN) AWS, Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) — recently postponed $10 billion worth of orders for its Blackwell GB200 data center racks due to overheating issues. This disruption adds to the challenges Nvidia faces, as up to 50% of its chips may be destined for markets that could fall under the new export rules, according to D.A. Davidson&#8217;s Gil Luria, as reported by Reuters.
According to Defiance ETFs CEO Sylvia Jablonski, &#8220;Geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and China, have significantly impacted the semiconductor industry. Each time we've heard a report about a potential US ban on semiconductors from the White House we've seen NVDA and all other semiconductor stocks fall.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Long-Term Outlook For ETFs</h3>
While the short-term outlook for semiconductor ETFs remains uncertain, the long-term prospects offer significant opportunities. AI, quantum computing and other technological advancements are expected to drive substantial demand for advanced semiconductors. Despite geopolitical headwinds, semiconductor-focused ETFs could benefit from the ongoing innovation and market growth.
Summing up the sector's potential, Jablonski said: "Any kind of high tech, innovative trend has its risks and rewards. Investors should understand that innovation takes time, and that price action is often volatile proceeding it. However, if the innovations like AI, Quantum computing come to fruition, the opportunities for investors are endless!"

Nvidia Suffers $10 Billion Setback, AI Chip Sanctions Spell Trouble For 3 ETFs

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) is all set for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tsmc" rel="noreferrer noopener">full-capacity production</a> in the U.S. and Germany after commercializing its debut Japanese chip plant in Kikuyo, Kumamoto Prefecture, last December.
Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) $3 trillion valuation and Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s 2nm progress testify to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42813592/ai-chip-stocks-nvidia-broadcom-amd-taiwan-semi-micron-super-micro-surge-on-monday-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI-driven chip industry growth</a>. Reportedly, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) eyes&nbsp;$80 billion in&nbsp;developing AI data centers in fiscal 2025, marking a big win for the sector.&nbsp;

The contract chipmaker aims to complete production of plants in Arizona in 2025 and Dresden in 2027. Construction of Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s second Japanese factory will likely begin near the Kikuyo plant, the Japan News <a target="_blank" href="https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/business/companies/20250106-231710/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Taiwan commanded 67% of the global market share in contracted semiconductor manufacturing and nearly 80% in cutting-edge products in 2023, the Japan News cites TrendForce.
Taiwan attempted to shield itself from geopolitical tension by concentrating production on the island. Still, it also remains focused on its geographical diversification to help the world boost its semiconductor base by reducing its dependence on China, whose semiconductor supply chain was disrupted during the 2020 pandemic.
Kumamoto Gov. Takashi Kimura shared with Japan Times the country&#8217;s hopes to attract Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s third plant in the prefecture.
The new plant, located in Kikuyo, began commercializing 12-28 nm technology last December. It caters to Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>), which produces camera sensors for Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
Taiwan Semiconductor is proficient in making general-purpose chips between 12 and 28 nm. However, chip plants in Japan failed to produce semiconductors thinner than 40 nm, prompting them to tap the Taiwanese chipmaker.
Taiwan Semiconductor is building a new plant in Arizona, where commercialization of 4-nm chips will likely begin between January and March. It aims to complete its debut European plant in Dresden in 2027. The plant targets a quadrupolar production plan with principal plants in Taiwan, Japan, the U.S., and Germany.
Meanwhile, some concerns loom in the form of President-elect Donald Trump taking charge on January 20.
The U.S. posted a significant trade deficit with Taiwan in 2023, prompting Trump to verbally attack the country during his presidential campaigns for allegedly depriving the U.S. of the semiconductor industry.
He suggested redemption by slapping tariffs on Taiwan, which can increase the contract chipmaker&#8217;s production costs since labor costs in the U.S. are about 30% higher than in Taiwan.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock surged over 115% in the last 12 months.
Goldman Sachs&#8216; Bruce Lu projected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42825523/taiwan-semi-likely-for-upside-backed-by-ai-demand-and-advanced-node-pricing-analyst-says" rel="noreferrer noopener">another year of </a>robust revenue growth for Taiwan Semiconductor in 2025E, 26.8%, following 29.4% revenue growth in 2024E (all in USD terms). Demand in leading-edge nodes, mainly supported by AI, backed this growth.

Taiwan Semiconductor Ramps Up Production in Japan, US, and Germany to Diversify Away from China

China responded swiftly on Tuesday to new U.S. restrictions on semiconductor technology exports by imposing tighter controls on critical minerals used in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">chip manufacturing</a>.
The move targets gallium, germanium, and antimony — essential materials for advanced electronics and defense applications, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/china-tightens-curbs-on-exports-of-materials-with-chip-making-applications-to-u-s-4348a02c?mod=latest_headlines">reports</a>.
What Happened: A day after the U.S. blacklisted 140 Chinese entities and restricted exports of memory chips vital to artificial intelligence, Beijing retaliated with export bans and reviews for U.S.-bound shipments of these minerals. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce justified the measures as necessary for national security.
China also cautioned its businesses against purchasing American chips due to reliability and safety concerns. 
The restricted minerals are critical to the U.S. economy and defense supply chains, with Beijing accounting for a significant portion of imports between 2019 and 2022. For instance, the U.S. relied on China for 80% of its antimony needs during this period, WSJ reports.

The new U.S. export controls, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42265847/biden-targets-china-with-new-chip-restrictions-nvidia-slides">took effect Monday</a>, primarily target Chinese firms such as Naura Technology Group, Huawei-linked companies and equipment manufacturers. These measures also extend restrictions to non-U.S. chip suppliers reliant on American technologies, sparking concern among global players like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Why It Matters: The clash underscores the fragility of global supply chains and the geopolitical stakes tied to semiconductor dominance. With China tightening its grip on critical materials, the U.S. faces mounting pressure to diversify its supply sources. 
Experts warn these developments could reshape the global semiconductor landscape as companies and governments navigate new trade barriers. U.S. firms such as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), and KLA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) may feel the ripple effects alongside international players exempt from these restrictions, including Dutch firm ASM International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>).
ETFs such as the Invesco Semiconductors ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSI#NASDAQ">PSI</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XSD#NYSE">XSD</a>) could also feel the effects of these trade restrictions, given their exposure to impacted companies.

Struggling chipmaker Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)&nbsp;continues to receive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968128/qualcomm-reportedly-eyes-potential-takeover-of-intel-amid-60-stock-decline-but-antitrust-concerns-lo" rel="noreferrer noopener">takeover proposals from</a> chip companies, the latest being Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) following Qualcomm Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) proposal earlier.
Arm Holdings recently proposed to acquire Intel&#8217;s product unit. However, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-27/arm-rejected-by-intel-after-approaching-it-about-buying-product-unit?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> that Intel is not looking to sell the business division.
Intel stock plunged 31% as it failed to capitalize on the artificial intelligence shift, which is something that contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) excelled at.

Meanwhile, some reports indicated Intel&#8217;s plans to convert its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40897994/whats-going-on-with-intel-stock-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">foundry business into</a> an independent unit, including exploring a spinoff into a publicly traded company. The chipmaker also explored divesting stake in the programmable chip unit&nbsp;Altera.
However, Intel&#8217;s recent big wins included a&nbsp;U.S. chipmaking deal from&nbsp;Amazon.Com Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web services and the U.S. Chip grant.

What's Going On With Intel Stock On Friday?

Thursday&#8217;s trading session unfolded with semiconductor stocks surging despite a drop in Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40620740/nvidia-etfs-split-in-pre-market-after-jensen-huang-led-chip-giant-exceeded-q2-expectations">shares.</a>
Nvidia's earnings were seen as a critical juncture for the broader stock market in August, with the potential to either boost or reverse the recent rally. However, events did not play out as many had expected.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia Shares Fall On Unimpressive Guidance</h3>
Nvidia&#8217;s shares failed to rebound after a negative reaction in Wednesday&#8217;s post-market hours.
The Santa Clara, California-based company reported quarterly revenue of $30 billion, beating estimates of $28.86 billion, reflecting a 15% increase from the previous quarter and an impressive 122% year-over-year growth.
Net income reached $16.6 billion, up 12% from the prior quarter and a significant 168% increase compared to the same quarter last year. Earnings per share came in at 68 cents, surpassing the expected 64 cents.
Despite surpassing Wall Street&#8217;s revenue and earnings forecasts, Nvidia&#8217;s outlook failed to meet investors' already lofty expectations for the coming quarters. The company projected this quarter's revenue at $32.5 billion, plus or minus 2%, slightly above the estimated $31.9 billion, but not enough to excite the market.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">7 Semiconductor ETFs Rise</h3>
Investors likely viewed Nvidia's quarterly results as a standalone event, opting for caution as the company's guidance did not significantly exceed expectations. 
Yet, they maintained a generally positive sentiment toward the broader market. Competitors of the AI giant experienced a marked rally, deviating from their usual trend of closely following Nvidia&#8217;s performance. 
&#8220;We believe Nvidia's comments on Data Center demand were constructive,&#8221; Toshiya Hari, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, stated. The company&#8217;s outlook for data center demand bodes well for other semiconductor firms involved in the AI infrastructure build-out.
Hari highlighted &#8220;ongoing tightness in High-Bandwidth Memory as a material positive for Buy-rated Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).&#8221;
Even exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with a significant Nvidia exposure witnessed positive performance during Thursday's trading session. Here are some notable movers:
<ul>
<li>Strive U.S. Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOC#NYSE">SHOC</a>): up 0.7%, despite Nvidia comprising 30% of the fund.</li>

With Taiwan holding a 90% market share in AI server production, Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s role in the global supply chain is irreplaceable.
In 2023, the AI chip market reached $53.6 billion, as per <a target="_blank" href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1283358/artificial-intelligence-chip-market-size/#:~:text=In%202023%2C%20the%20artificial%20intelligence,billion%20U.S.%20dollars%20in%202025." rel="noreferrer noopener">Statista</a>. Projections indicate it will rise to $71.3 billion by the end of 2024 as interest in AI applications continues to grow, with estimates suggesting the market will exceed $90 billion in 2025.
However, political risks for Taiwan Semiconductor and other Taiwanese companies are rising as China intensifies threats and military exercises around the island, FT writes. Approximately 80-90% of Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s production capacity is based in Taiwan.
Taiwan Semiconductor has consistently stated that it will maintain most of its manufacturing, research, and development in Taiwan while investing $65 billion in three factories in Arizona, USA.
Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, added to the uncertainty by suggesting that Taiwan should compensate the U.S. for its defense.
Consequently, AI chip stocks mainly dependent on Taiwan Semiconductor, like Nvidia and&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), saw a selloff this week. Nvidia lost over 5%, and AMD lost&nbsp;over 14% so far this week. AI server company and a key Nvidia supplier Super Micro Computer, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) lost 10% so far this week.

Top Performing Industry ETFs In June: Software Leads Returns, Chipmakers Attract Most Inflows

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) is significantly expanding its operations in response to growing demand in the AI, 5G, server, and data center markets.
The company remains engaged in its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36821337/tsmc-reportedly-expands-in-japan-with-a-second-plant-investing-billions-and-shaping-the-future-o" rel="noreferrer noopener">geographical expansion while</a> maintaining Taiwan as its base.
Acter Group Co, a semiconductor equipment and chemicals supplier, is accelerating its overseas expansion, primarily focusing on Japan and Southeast Asia to support these demands.
The expansion is a strategic response to geopolitical risks and the need for diversified manufacturing sites, Taipei Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2024/06/25/2003819838" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Acter Group Co-President Wang Chun-sheng emphasized the company&#8217;s strategy to enhance its global footprint.
Acter&#8217;s significant clients include TSMC, United Microelectronics Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>), Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), Nvidia Corp, and Alphabet Inc&#8217;s Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>).
In addition to Asia, Acter is considering expansion projects in Mexico and the US, aiming to follow their clients&#8217; geographical diversification.
Acter prioritizes Southeast Asia, Japan, and India for overseas expansion.
Last month, Acter&#8217;s subsidiary, Rayzher Industrial Co, established a branch in Kumamoto, Japan, to support TSMC&#8217;s fab operations.
Rayzher is also planning a second overseas site in Germany, where TSMC will likely build a new 12-inch fab through a joint venture.
Taiwan Semiconductor gained 68% in the last 12 months.
Investors can gain exposure to the semiconductor sector via First Trust Nasdaq Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXL#NASDAQ">FTXL</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XSD#NYSE">XSD</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">TSMC Stock Prediction For 2024</h2>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Taiwan Semiconductor, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For Taiwan Semiconductor, the 200-day moving average sits at $120.13, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is below the current price of $170.84. For more on charts and trend lines, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
Price Action: TSM shares traded higher by 1.51% to $170.35 at the last check on Tuesday.

Multiple stocks on the New York Stock Exchange experienced sudden trading halts after 9:40 a.m. ET Monday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nyse">due to technical issues.</a>

The NYSE said it is investigating the reported technical issue. &#8220;Additional information will follow as soon as possible,&#8221; NYSE-owner Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>) stated.
