Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) saw its shares fall 7% following Chinese President Xi Jinping's warning about Taiwan, despite a diplomatic thaw during the first U.S. presidential visit to China in nearly a decade. TSMC remains a critical player in the global semiconductor market, holding about 70% market share in 2025, and continues to grow with strong Q1 2026 revenue driven by AI demand. The company is heavily investing in its Arizona facilities in the U.S., with $165 billion committed to expand production and R&D, supported by U.S. policy. However, geopolitical risks persist as many advanced production lines remain close to mainland China, keeping investor sentiment cautious despite strong fundamentals and a positive analyst outlook.
