On May 27, TSMC rose 3.41% in regular trading, trading at $423.6/share, with trading volume of $1.105 billion. The rally was driven by supply chain reports indicating the company plans to raise 3nm process pricing by up to 15% in the second half, with a potential further increase of 5-10% next year.
According to supply chain sources, the price hike reflects a structural shift in advanced process supply and demand in the AI era rather than a single customer's order pull-in. NVIDIA, AMD, Google, and AWS are all accelerating adoption of 3nm for AI accelerators, custom ASICs, and flagship mobile chips, keeping 3nm capacity fully loaded. TSMC's primary 3nm fab (Fab18) maintains high utilization, with monthly capacity rising from approximately 130,000 wafers at the start of the year to 160,000-175,000 wafers in Q2, yet AI demand growth continues to outpace expansion. The current 3nm wafer price is reported near $20,000, potentially rising to approximately $23,000 per wafer after the adjustment.
Within the Semiconductors sector, Micron Technology rose 2.35%, while NVIDIA fell 1.14%, AMD fell 1.12%, Intel fell 3.42%, and Marvell Technology fell 1.03%.
