On November 21, 2025, TSMC Chairman C.C. Wei and former chairman Mark Liu received the prestigious Robert N. Noyce Award, highlighting their pivotal roles in advancing global semiconductor innovation. Wei used the occasion to reaffirm TSMC's commitment to expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint, particularly in Arizona, to address accelerating AI-driven chip demand and align with U.S. policy priorities[1][4]. Despite these positive developments, TSMC stock traded down to $269.44 (-2.90%) in live trading, following a recent multi-day decline. No negative company-specific news was reported; the price movement may reflect profit-taking or broader market sentiment after strong year-to-date gains and sector volatility[1].
