Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on TSM Options

The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) announced on Thursday that they have launched a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/japan" rel="noreferrer noopener">joint research laboratory</a> dedicated to advancing semiconductor research, education, and talent incubation.
Taiwan Semiconductor and UTokyo <a target="_blank" href="https://pr.tsmc.com/english/news/3243" rel="noreferrer noopener">aim to promote</a> advanced research and development in semiconductor technologies, generate innovative solutions, and cultivate semiconductor talent to create and advance sustainable semiconductor technologies.
Since 2019, UTokyo and Taiwan Semiconductor have collaborated on advanced semiconductor research at the university and company levels.

Taiwan Semiconductor and UTokyo have extended their industry-academia partnership to include semiconductor education and next-generation talent incubation.
In 2023, UTokyo adopted Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s 16nm FinFET process technology for chip design training.
Located on UTokyo&#8217;s Asano campus in the Hongo district, the Lab will be managed by UTokyo faculty and staff and guided by directors from both UTokyo and Taiwan Semiconductor. It will serve as a central hub for a Strategic Collaboration initiative.
The Lab will facilitate research in semiconductor technologies, with an emphasis on practical applications in the future. It will cover areas such as materials, devices, processes, metrology, packaging, and circuit design.
Additionally, the Lab will explore collaboration through activities such as Taiwan Semiconductor-sponsored project calls and internship opportunities.
Taiwan Semiconductor, along with its Japan Design Center, Japan 3DIC R&amp;D Center, and Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing (JASM) specialty fab, will leverage the Lab to further its next-generation talent development.
Taiwan Semiconductor gained 24% in the last 12 months due to the AI frenzy prompting it to expand beyond Taiwan. However, the Trump administration&#8217;s tariff policies have hurt semiconductor companies.
However, last week, Taiwan Semiconductor CEO&nbsp;C.C. Wei&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45748492/taiwan-semiconductors-japan-chip-factory-faces-delays-while-us-expansion-takes-priority" rel="noreferrer noopener">blamed traffic jams</a> for hampering the progress of its Tokyo signature chipmaking project. He also highlighted to President&nbsp;Donald Trump the difficulties in completing the Arizona project in five years due to the skilled labor crisis.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s plan to build a second factory in Japan&#8217;s Kumamoto Prefecture remains vulnerable to the sudden influx of workers from the contract chipmaker&#8217;s first plant, which is damaging the rural infrastructure.
Interestingly, the chipmaker&#8217;s prioritization of the U.S. expansion reduced the urgency of production in Japan.
Reportedly, Taiwan, Japan, and the U.S. are establishing&nbsp;closer trilateral cooperation&nbsp;in&nbsp;the semiconductor industry, forming a &#8220;semiconductor iron triangle.&#8221;
Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yasutoshi Nishimura expects collaboration in advanced chips to help develop 5G, self-driving vehicles, and generative artificial intelligence.
Price Action: TSM stock is trading lower by 0.83% to $212.33 premarket at last check Thursday.

Price Target

Barclays Maintains Overweight on Taiwan Semiconductor, Raises Price Target to $240

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) CEO C.C. Wei revealed during Tuesday&#8217;s shareholder meeting that he informed President Donald Trump that establishing a proposed $100 billion U.S. manufacturing venture will &#8220;take time,&#8221; beyond the anticipated timeline.
What Happened: Wei disclosed that TSMC has maintained ongoing dialogue with the U.S. Commerce Department regarding Trump&#8217;s semiconductor tariffs since their implementation, <a href="https://breakingthenews.net/Article/TSMC-to-Trump:-dollar100B-project-hardly-in-five-years/64218465">reported</a> Baha Breaking News. 
The CEO expressed concerns that higher duties would elevate TSMC&#8217;s U.S. production costs, though he emphasized that tariff policies remain &#8220;ultimately a matter between governments, not between a government and a company.&#8221;
Despite tariff headwinds, Wei assured investors that artificial intelligence chip demand continues to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739051/tsmc-ceo-admits-trump-tariffs-have-some-impact-on-chipmaker-but-demand-consistently-outpacing-supply-thanks-to-ai">substantially outpace supply capabilities</a>.

Why It Matters: The CEO explained that while tariffs don&#8217;t directly impact TSMC as an exporter, they create indirect pressure through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739051/tsmc-ceo-admits-trump-tariffs-have-some-impact-on-chipmaker-but-demand-consistently-outpacing-supply-thanks-to-ai">higher import costs for customers.</a> &#8220;Tariffs can lead to slightly higher prices and when prices go up, demand may go down,&#8221; Wei noted.
TSMC&#8217;s cautious stance on U.S. expansion comes as the chipmaker weighs the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44084767/taiwan-semiconductor-weighs-100-billion-us-investment-as-chip-war-heats-up">massive $100 billion investment</a> over four years to build advanced manufacturing facilities stateside. The company has already committed over $65 billion to Arizona fabrication plants for advanced chip production.
Price Action: TSMC closed at $194.84 on June 2, up 0.79%. After hours, it rose 0.24% to $195.30. Year to date, the stock is down 3.34%.

TSMC CEO Tells Trump $100 Billion US Chip Expansion Will 'Take Time' Amid Tariff Pressures, Surging AI Demand

On Tuesday, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) CEO CC Wei said that while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44881525/tsmc-confident-amid-trump-tariff-turmoil-ceo-cc-wei-says-no-change-in-customer-behavior-despite-nvidia-h20-chip-curbs">U.S. tariffs are creating</a> some headwinds, robust demand for AI chips continues to exceed the company's supply capabilities.
What Happened: Speaking at TSMC's annual shareholder meeting in Hsinchu, Taiwan, Wei acknowledged that the tariffs imposed under President Donald Trump's trade policies are having an indirect impact, reported Reuters.
"Tariffs do have some impact on TSMC, but not directly. That's because tariffs are imposed on importers, not exporters," he said, adding that TSMC is an exporter.
"However, tariffs can lead to slightly higher prices and when prices go up, demand may go down."

Despite this, Wei highlighted that demand for AI-related chips remains exceptionally strong. "If demand drops, TSMC&#8217;s business could be affected. But I can assure you that AI demand has always been very strong and it&#8217;s consistently outpacing supply," he stated.
Wei also denied reports that TSMC plans to build chip factories in the UAE and reaffirmed compliance with U.S. and Taiwanese regulations regarding export controls, particularly after halting shipments to China's Sophgo.
Why It's Important: Last month, Taiwan's Minister of Economic Affairs, JW Kuo, stated that the U.S. tariffs are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45508534/taiwan-minister-shrugs-off-us-tariffs-says-taiwan-semiconductor-will-thrive-while-samsung-takes-the-hit">not a concern for Taiwanese manufacturers</a>. He underscored America&#8217;s reliance on Taiwan to strengthen its microchip manufacturing capabilities.
Kuo also predicted that Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) is likely to be the most affected by the tariffs, citing the company's limited capacity in advanced semiconductor production.
In April, Trump warned that tariffs of up to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44704930/trump-says-he-warned-tsmc-of-100-tariff-if-it-doesnt-manufacture-in-us-these-chip-companies-are-loaded">100% could be imposed</a> on TSMC if the chipmaker failed to establish manufacturing facilities in the U.S.
Price Action: TSMC shares rose 0.79% on Monday and gained an additional 0.24% in after-hours trading, closing at $195.30. Despite the recent gains, the stock is still down 3.34% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that TSMC exhibits a positive price trend over the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">You can find more in-depth metrics here</a>.

The contract chipmaker is exploring a complex of six factories (similar to its Arizona fab), subject to regulatory approval from the Trump administration, given the Gulf nation&#8217;s ties to China and Iran&#8217;s influence in the region.
Taiwan Semiconductor held meetings with&nbsp;Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special representative to the Middle East, and MGX officials, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-30/tsmc-is-said-to-evaluate-building-advanced-chip-plant-in-the-uae?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Friday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

Taiwan Semiconductor executives visited the UAE in 2024, aspiring for potential geographical diversification amid support from the Biden administration subject to stringent conditions. However, the talks failed to fructify.
After Trump assumed charge, the UAE sought a Taiwan Semiconductor fab and vied for easier access to Nvidia chips for AI data centers.
In March, the UAE announced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45291509/nvidia-broadcom-amd-surge-as-trump-reshapes-ai-chip-export-rules-to-ease-market-pressure" rel="noreferrer noopener">$1.4 trillion commitment</a> to invest in the U.S.
