Core Viewpoint - Recent rumors regarding Intel's (INTC.US) foundry revival have negatively impacted TSMC (TSM.US), raising investor concerns about increased competition. However, JPMorgan believes that the "competitive illusion" created by Intel's foundry efforts is actually more beneficial for TSMC [1] Group 1: Intel's Developments - Intel has made significant progress recently, with reports of potential government investment and a $2 billion investment from SoftBank. Key customers may also participate in the revival of Intel's wafer fabrication facilities [1] - U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo stated that the U.S. cannot rely solely on TSMC for advanced chip supply and aims to shift more capacity back to the U.S. [1] Group 2: TSMC's Market Position - JPMorgan asserts that the illusion of having a weaker competitor is more advantageous for TSMC, as it alleviates ongoing regulatory pressures and the push to return business to the U.S. [2] - Despite potential negative perceptions from market participants regarding major TSMC clients like Apple or Nvidia supporting Intel's revival, JPMorgan believes that this will not resolve the inherent conflicts of interest between products and foundries [2] - TSMC is expected to maintain over 90% market share in advanced nodes for the foreseeable future, as the costs associated with a 100% market share may outweigh the benefits [2] Group 3: Geopolitical and Regulatory Factors - Reports suggest that the U.S. government may convert part of the CHIPS Act funding into equity stakes in participating companies, which could require TSMC to sell a small portion of its equity, likely not exceeding 1% [3] - JPMorgan believes that this potential equity sale is unlikely to significantly alter TSMC's strategic direction and that TSMC will probably not operate Intel's factories or share intellectual property or technology with Intel [3] Group 4: Overall Market Outlook - JPMorgan concludes that while geopolitical factors may cause short-term volatility, TSMC's fundamentals remain strong, indicating potential for upward movement [4]

值得一提的是，本月，特朗普政府采取一系列非常规举措，令华尔街和华盛顿政策圈震惊。在华尔街金 融家支持下，白宫要求英伟达与AMD(AMD.US)将中国市场的AI芯片销售收入15%上缴国库，此举直接 冲击科技行业规则。 智通财经APP获悉，一位美国政府官员透露，特朗普政府当前无意通过入股方式参与台积电 (TSM.US)、美光科技(MU.US)等半导体企业的投资计划，尽管这些企业正持续扩大在美投资规模。这 位要求匿名的官员强调，美国政府不会强制要求在美国扩大投资的企业以股权置换《芯片法案》等政府 资金支持，这一表态与正在进行的英特尔(INTC.US)股权收购谈判形成鲜明对比。 根据公开信息，美光科技已承诺向美国本土投资2000亿美元，台积电则追加1000亿美元投资计划。与此 形成对比的是，商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克近期多次公开表示，特朗普政府倾向于通过政府拨款换取企 业股权，以实现"纳税人资金的高回报"。他特别指出："我们不仅要发放补助，更要通过股权获取长期 收益。" 目前最受关注的案例是英特尔股权谈判。据知情人士透露，白宫正与这家芯片巨头商讨收购其10%股份 的方案，涉及将《芯片法案》提供的资金部分转换为股权。尽管 ...

在以掠夺的方式，把手强行伸进其他国家口袋、侵占其他国家财富还不过瘾的情况下，特朗普又开始把手伸进美国企业的口袋，准备薅美国企业的羊毛 了。 据新华社报道，近期关于美国政府计划收购英特尔公司股份的传闻终获确认。美国商务部长卢特尼克19日表示，英特尔必须向美国政府让渡公司股权，以 换取《芯片与科学法》的拨款支持。白宫同一天也确认，该交易将允许美国政府持有英特尔10%的股份，美商务部正"敲定"相关细节。 真的收购，倒也可以让英伟达的股东们心里好受一点。毕竟，可以获得一块政府的资金投入。而特朗普政府的收购，是典型的霸王硬上弓，将英特尔获批 的《芯片与科学法》约109亿美元联邦补贴转换为英特尔股权。 这也意味着，英特尔的股权转让，既是危害非常大的问题，也是后果非常严重的问题，更是其他企业非常担心的问题。那么，英特尔能否顶得住特朗普的 压力，做出"不"的回应呢？ 可以想象，如果英特尔做出"不"的回应，将面临非常严重的后果，特朗普完全可能做出取消英特尔109亿美元政府补贴的计划。如果英特尔不做任何反抗 的将10%的股权转让给美国政府，拿下这109亿美元的政府补贴，随之而来的，就是其他企业一并躺倒，一起给美国政府一定的股权转 ...
