AI stocks rally today as Nvidia seeks more H200 chips; AMD and Micron lead early gains

Nvidia shares rose 2.9% to $191.93 on Friday after Reuters reported the AI chipmaker had approached Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co about ramping up production of its H200 graphics processing units, chips used to train and run AI models. Sources told Reuters Chinese technology companies have ordered more than 2 million H200 chips for delivery in 2026, far above Nvidia's current inventory of about 700,000 units. The report said TSMC was expected to start work on expanded output in the second quarter, but Chinese authorities have yet to greenlight any H200 shipments. Reuters

TSMC stock forecast 2026: New U.S. China licence and Nvidia H200 push put targets in focus

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co said the U.S. Department of Commerce granted its Nanjing unit an annual export licence that allows U.S. export-controlled items to be supplied without the need for individual vendor licences. The approval replaces a waiver known as validated end-user status — which let designated plants receive some controlled items with fewer approvals — that expired on Dec. 31, and Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have received similar licences. TSMC said the Nanjing fab makes 16-nanometre and other mature-node chips and generated about 2.4% of the company’s 2024 revenue. Reuters

Tech Turbulence: Big Antitrust Wins, Spy Satellites & Cyber Scares – Sept 2–3, 2025 Roundup

US-China Tech Tensions: In a blow to Beijing’s chip ambitions, the U.S. Commerce Department revoked the “validated end-user” fast-track export status that had allowed Taiwan’s TSMC to import advanced American chipmaking tools into China without a license reuters.com. The privilege will end on Dec. 31, meaning TSMC’s Nanjing fab will need case-by-case export licenses for U.S. equipment thereafter reuters.com. The fab produces 16 nm “mature node” semiconductors – not cutting-edge chips – contributing only ~2.4% of TSMC’s revenue reuters.com. TSMC said it’s “evaluating the situation” and working with U.S. officials to ensure “uninterrupted operations” in Nanjing reuters.com. While South Korean rivals’ shares dipped on their own export curbs, TSMC’s stock held steady reuters.com. Analysts noted the direct impact on TSMC is minimal, but U.S. equipment suppliers like KLA and Applied Materials could see reduced sales to China reuters.com. This latest move – driven by the Trump administration’s push to ensure China “not benefit too much from advanced American technology” reuters.com – tightens the semiconductor export chokehold that began in 2022.
