A $250 billion bet on American soil is redrawing the global tech map. TSMC, the world's leading chipmaker, is aggressively expanding its US footprint as AI demand continues to shatter expectations heading into 2026.
TSMC 2026 AI Investment and Earnings Fuel Global Market Surge
Under a new strategic agreement, the US is slashing tariffs on Taiwanese imports to 15% from 20%. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed that TSMC has already secured additional land in Arizona and is weighing even more investments beyond its current roadmap. This isn't just about chips; it's a strategic shield for the global supply chain.
The chipmaker's blowout earnings report on Thursday acted as a catalyst for a broad market rebound. With TSMC raising its capital expenditure for 2026, industry giants like Nvidia and AMD saw their shares climb. In Europe, ASML and ASM International followed suit, pushing the tech sector to levels not seen since the dot-com era.
