TSMC Arizona Posts First Positive Equity-Method Contribution: What's Driving It and What Could Derail It What happened $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ quietly crossed a milestone in Q2: its Arizona subsidiary showed a positive 'share of profits of investee' in the company's consolidated filing. By contrast, JASM (Kumamoto) remained in the red, underscoring a faster profitability turn in the U.S. asset than in Japan at this stage of ramp. By the numbers ~Node mix: In Q2, 5-nanometer technologies contributed 36% of wafer revenue; N4/N4P/N4X are classified by TSMC as part of the 5-nanometer family, so Arizona's N4 output is inside that bucket. ~Arizona status: U.S. Commerce said 4-nm production in Phoenix
$Dover(DOV)$ I added to my position in Dover (DOV) following its solid Q2 2025 results, where adjusted EPS of $2.44 beat expectations and revenue grew 5% to $2.05 billion. While much of the top-line gain came from acquisitions and currency, margin improvements and strong cash flow highlight operational efficiency. Importantly, management raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $9.35–$9.55, signaling confidence despite macro uncertainties. With a diversified industrial portfolio and disciplined execution, Dover continues to demonstrate resilience, making it a compelling addition to my holdings at this stage.
$Apple(AAPL)$ I added to my Apple (AAPL) position following Morgan Stanley’s bullish iPhone forecast upgrade, now expecting 54M units in the September quarter versus 50M previously. The revision reflects pent-up replacement demand, stronger designs, and margin improvements. Importantly, peak tariff concerns have eased while regulatory impacts remain softer than feared. With services pricing yet to be adjusted in two years, Apple holds untapped growth potential. Valuation relative to the S&P 500 remains fair, and upward estimate revisions historically drive multiple expansion, strengthening my conviction in Apple’s sustained growth trajectory.
