Chip toolmaker ASML expected to shine light on capacity and China challenges

ASML, the biggest supplier of equipment used to manufacture AI chips, reports quarterly earnings on Wednesday looking to justify its chunky valuation and demonstrate how it will contend with U.S. moves to block ‌exports to China. Clouding the outlook, however, is a proposed U.S. law requiring U.S. allies to align with export controls to curb China's ability to make advanced chips, with ASML named in the legislation. The company has denied selling its most advanced EUV tools to China, which is forecast to account for up to 20% of ASML's sales this year through legal purchases of ‌less-advanced DUV tools to make chips for automotive, ⁠industrial and electronic products.

Nvidia halves Asia AI chip customer list, FT reports

Nvidia has more than halved the number of Asian customers ‌authorized to buy its AI chips ‌after creating a new "white list" of companies that have ​passed tougher compliance checks aimed at preventing the products from reaching China, the Financial Times reported on Monday. Nvidia did ​not immediately respond ​to a Reuters ​request for comment outside ‌regular business hours. Under a renewed review, over half of Nvidia's previous customers, especially neo-cloud providers, were excluded, the report said, adding that companies that failed the initial review could ‌make changes and reapply.

TSMC seen riding AI boom to fifth straight quarter of record profit

TSMC, the world's largest manufacturer of advanced AI chips, will likely notch a fifth consecutive quarter of record earnings, driven ‌by booming AI infrastructure spending. Analysts say demand for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's (TSMC) 3-nanometre and 2-nanometre ‌process technologies for AI chips, as well as for its advanced chip packaging technology, CoWoS, remains strong. Its market capitalisation is now nearly double that of South Korean rival Samsung Electronics at around $1.97 trillion.

The whole chip trade is waiting on one report

Almost every advanced AI chip on the planet is built in one place. Nvidia's Blackwell processors, Apple's silicon, custom accelerators for Meta and AMD — they all run through the same foundry in Taiwan. That foundry is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM). TSMC is set to ...

TSMC Q2 revenue jumps 36% from a year earlier, beating market expectations

TSMC, the world's ‌largest contract chipmaker, ‌reported on Monday second-quarter ​revenue of 1.27 trillion Taiwan dollars ($39.63 billion), beating market ‌expectations and ⁠rising 36% from a year ⁠earlier on surging interest in artificial ​intelligence applications. An ​LSEG ​SmartEstimate, drawn ‌from 20 analysts, had expected revenue in the April-to-June quarter of 1.264 trillion Taiwan ‌dollars. Taiwan Semiconductor ​Manufacturing Co (TSMC) ​is ​a major ‌supplier to companies including ​Nvidia ​and Apple.

The Quarter-Trillion-Dollar Onslaught of AI Bonds Is Testing Investors’ Limits

Wall Street is sending a message to tech companies engaged in a historic borrowing spree to fund investments in artificial-intelligence infrastructure: for pity’s sake, please slow down. Over the past several weeks, the investment-grade corporate bond market has struggled to absorb a combined $75 billion of bond issuance from Nvidia SpaceX and Amazon.com That marks a shift from earlier in the year, when investors were generally happy to hand money to so-called AI hyperscalers by any possible means. While Nvidia and SpaceX were able to borrow at reasonably low interest rates, their newly issued bonds quickly slumped in the secondary market, disappointing investors who often like to flip such bonds.
