Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing is trading 5.1% down at $422.05 as semiconductor stocks sell off following underwhelming AI-chip guidance and profit-taking in key peers like Broadcom and Micron.

  • Growth and AI-exposed names across the NASDAQ are facing significant pressure as investors recalibrate expectations amid the shifting macroeconomic environment.
