Regeneron Pharmaceuticals And Sanofi Announce FDA Approval of Dupixent For Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria in Adults and Adolescents

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) just delivered a quarter that Wall Street won't soon forget &#8211; but you wouldn't know it by looking at the stock chart.
The chip giant crushed first quarter estimates, powered by AI-hungry demand for its 3nm and 5nm chips, yet shares continue to short-circuit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strong Fundamentals, Stronger Headwinds</h2>
First quarter revenue surged 41.6% year-over-year to $25.53 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44857887/taiwan-semiconductor-q1-surges-41-in-sales-boosted-by-ai-chip-demand-expanded-margins">topping expectations</a> of $23.92 billion. EPS came in at $2.12, well above the $1.82 consensus. TSM also projected second quarter revenue between $28.4 billion and $29.2 billion, bolstered by continued strength in AI processor demand &#8211; think Nvidia Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPUs and Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones.
As Direxion's Head of Capital Markets Jake Behan put it: "TSM's strong results, driven by its critical supplier role to Nvidia, signal strength ahead of a pivotal semiconductor earnings season&#8230;.TSM&#8217;s strong earnings and sustained capex plans position it as a bellwether, signaling continued AI-driven demand – a bullish signal for the sector."
But don't cue the victory music just yet.

Despite the stellar report, TSM stock is flashing technical warning signs all over the board. At $151.74, it's trading below its eight, 20, 50 and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). In trader speak, that's a bearish signal coming from every major trend line. The 50-day SMA stands at $177.31, and the 200-day SMA is way up at $183.96 &#8211; have recently made a Death Cross.
"A pre-tariff buying rush may have padded TSM's bump in sales, which raises the question of whether short-term strength could mask longer-term softness," warned Behan.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Volatility, Thy Name Is Semis</h2>
With trade war chatter and tariff jitters looming large, even the best earnings might not be enough to keep the rally going. As Behan notes: "Headline risk continues to be a key headwind for the semiconductor sector."
For investors looking to play the volatility, investors may look at the Direxion Daily TSM Bull 2X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSMX#NASDAQ">TSMX</a>) (2x daily return) and the Direxion Daily TSM Bear 1X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSMZ#NASDAQ">TSMZ</a>) (-1x daily return) to ride the waves &#8211; or shield from them.
TSM's fundamentals are flexing, but the charts are trembling. AI demand is hot, but trade risks and technical pressure may leave the stock stuck in the cooling chamber.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Brinker International 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

<ul>
<li>Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, Google, Tesla, and Apple gave millions of dollars to Trump during his campaign and for his inauguration</li>
<li>Now the businesses have lost a collective $1.8 trillion, thanks to reciprocal tariffs</li>
<li>Wedbush's Dan Ives called the levies an "economic armageddon" for the tech sector</li>
</ul>
Several Silicon Valley leaders were among President Donald Trump's biggest supporters during the election and his inauguration. Now, they're seeing their wallets take a major hit thanks to his policies.
Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APPL#NASDAQ">APPL</a>), Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Google, Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) gave millions of dollars to Trump's reelection campaign and inauguration fund. But <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/tech/tech-leaders-supported-trump-lost-money-dg/index.html">CNN</a> now reports that as of April 9, the companies have lost a combined $1.8 trillion due to tariffs.
Don't Miss:

<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.</li>
</ul>
Throughout his campaign, Trump talked about how eager he was to grow the tech industry and cement America as a leader in AI. So it follows that the country's tech giants would want to hitch their trains to Trump's. But with tariffs targeting supply chains and manufacturing hubs across Asia, those once-hoped-for business benefits have failed to materialize. In their place are substantial monetary losses for both the companies and their respective CEOs and founders.&nbsp;
Investment bank UBS now estimates that tech earnings as a whole could shrink by as much as 19%, according to a daily update it released on April 5. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called Trump's tariff policies an "economic armageddon" for the sector in an April 3 interview on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Miyrnlfi_10">CNBC</a>.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
But what do those losses look like for the individual companies and the billionaires behind them? According to CNN, Elon Musk has been hit the hardest. On April 12, the <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Bloomberg Billionaires Index</a> showed that the Tesla CEO and Department of Government Efficiency de facto leader's personal net worth had dropped by $121 billion since the start of the year. And CNN writes that as of the market close on April 9, Tesla shares were down by 28% and its market capitalization had dropped by $376.6 billion.
Following the market rebound on April 9, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's net worth had gone down by $14.9 billion, according to the Bloomberg list. This is a significant bounceback from the initial $26.5 billion loss that CNN reported the day before. His shrinking fortune still pales in comparison to the 2.25% loss in Meta's stock prices, which has caused a $35.8 billion decrease in the company's valuation.&nbsp;
Amazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos has seen a $33.3 billion decline in his net worth, according to Bloomberg, while CNN reports that his company experienced a 13% share price drop since the start of the year, which translates to a $316.8 billion loss in value.

And while Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook have seen their personal fortunes take less of a hit, their companies have not profited from their association with Trump the way they may have hoped. Google donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund, but has seen tariffs contribute to a 16.2% drop in its stock prices and a $386.7 billion decline in its valuation, according to CNN. And Apple, having pledged a $500 billion investment in U.S. facilities, has taken an especially big hit, with stock prices hitting a low of 18.5% down from the start of the year, and total valuation declining by $684 billion.
During Trump's first term in office, many big companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, and Tesla successfully lobbied for exemptions from Trump's tariffs. But this time around, things appear less certain for the tech giants. "The magnitude of reciprocal tariffs levied by the U.S. poses profound financial risks to the technology industry and its extensive supply chain," Moody's Ratings wrote in a <a href="https://www.moodys.com/research/doc--PBC_1444693">note</a> on April 8. "We believe no tech industry subsector will go unharmed."&nbsp;
