On May 28, TSMC declined 3.01% overnight, trading at $410.05/share, with trading volume of $35.69 million. The decline occurred amid a broad semiconductor sector selloff and growing industry debate over structural challenges to TSMC's long-term monopoly position.
Recent industry analysis highlighted that a new semiconductor development paradigm known as Tao's Law could fundamentally reshape the competitive landscape. The theory proposes that optimizing signal speed within chips, rather than shrinking transistor sizes, could become the dominant performance metric. Industry experts noted that if this alternative technical roadmap gains widespread adoption, TSMC's multi-hundred-billion-dollar investment in advanced process nodes could see diminished strategic value. A former TSMC R&D executive acknowledged that the greatest risk lies not in any single competitor's chip quality, but in attracting followers to an alternative technology path that bypasses EUV lithography dependency entirely.
Within the Semiconductors sector, the overall decline was broad-based. Among individual stocks, Micron Technology down 4.79%, NVIDIA down 1.45%, Advanced Micro Devices down 3.55%, Intel down 4.33%, Marvell Technology down 5.23%.
