Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company reached an all-time high up on Thursday after Morgan Stanley raised the cost target on chip designer Nvidia, pointing out an ongoing rise in AI need.
TSMC, which is the world’s biggest manufacturer of sophisticated processors, makes chips for business such as Nvidia and Apple
Morgan Stanley increased the cost target on the U.S. chip giant to $750 from $603 onFeb 7 and stated it continues “to see a very strong near term picture.”
TSMC shares opened at a high of 709 New Taiwan dollars on Thursday early morning and closed at NT$697, almost 8% greater from its last close onFeb 5. The Taiwan Stock Exchange resumed trading onFeb 15 after the Chinese New Year break.

Large language designs such as ChatGPT need great deals of graphics processing units to train. The chips require to be effective sufficient to crunch terabytes of information rapidly to acknowledge patterns. ChatGPT is trained and operated on countless Nvidia’s GPUs.
“B100 transition an important near term driver, impacting H100 lead times and competitive dynamics,” composed Morgan Stanley experts in theFeb 7 report to customers.
Nvidia’s B100 GPU is anticipated to be an AI video game changer which is a lot more effective than its H100 AIÂ processor, according to experts.
TSMC presently makes 3-nanometer chips and prepares to begin 2-nanometer mass production in 2025.
The term “nanometer”  in chips describes the size of specific transistors. Smaller nanometer sizes generally yield more effective and effective chips as more transistors can be loaded onto a single chip.
Shares in Taiwan’s Orient Semiconductor Electronics Ltd likewise increased 10% on Thursday.
