Why HP, Altria, And Terreno Realty Are Winners For Passive Income

In a recent dialogue with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook reportedly discussed the potential ramifications of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs on iPhone prices.
What Happened: Cook held a discussion last week with the Commerce Secretary about the possible impact of the tariffs on iPhone prices. Cook also engaged in talks with other senior White House officials, according to a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/04/17/apple-iphone-tariff-exemption-trump/">report</a> by The Washington Post. As a result of this conversation, the Trump administration has agreed to exempt Apple&#8217;s China-produced electronic products from import duties.
Despite the widespread criticism of President Donald Trump&#8216;s trade policies by numerous executives, Cook chose not to do so. By the end of the week, the Trump administration decided to exempt import duties on electronic products that Apple manufactures in China. This decision also benefited other major U.S. firms like HP Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>) and Dell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NASDAQ">DELL</a>).
Notably, the exemption was approved even though senior White House aide Peter Navarro had recommended keeping the taxes in place.
Wilbur Ross, former commerce secretary during Trump's first term, told the publication, &#8220;Tim has a very good relationship with the president and rightly so. He has been playing a very careful role in that he obviously has a huge dependency on China but is also hugely important to the U.S.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Apple shares climbed over 2% on Monday after Trump exempted tariffs on electronics on Friday and pushed the company's market cap back more than $3 trillion. After the exemption, Trump stated, "I helped Tim Cook, recently, and that whole business,&#8221; reported CNBC.
The Apple CEO also invested $500 billion in the U.S. in March for an AI push, boosting U.S. manufacturing tech after a discussion with President Trump.
Prior to this development, Apple had been preparing for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44781528/apples-preemptive-iphone-stockpile-could-disrupt-supply-chain-amid-looming-semiconductor-tariffs-warns-top-analyst-says-this-may-be-cupertinos-best-option-beyond-white-house-talks">potential impact </a>of tariffs on its supply chain. Top analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had warned that Apple&#8217;s supply chain could face significant disruptions due to the tariffs.
Interestingly, Cook had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44783543/when-tim-cook-revealed-the-real-reason-iphones-are-made-in-chinaand-its-not-low-labor-costs-china-stopped-being-a-low-wage-country-years-ago">previously clarified</a> that Apple&#8217;s decision to manufacture its products in China was not due to low labor costs. In a 2024 video, Cook stated, &#8220;China stopped being a low labor cost company many years ago.&#8221; This tariff exemption will allow Apple to continue its manufacturing operations in China without the added cost of import duties.

Goldman Sachs analysts swiftly raised their earnings forecasts for top U.S. tech giants after a surprise weekend decision from the White House shielded key electronics from steep new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44777482/trump-tariff-wars-chinas-new-rule-to-exempt-nvidia-qualcomm-and-others-from-levies-but-these-chip-companies-will-be-hit-with-125-tariffs">tariffs on Chinese imports.</a>
In a note shared Monday, analyst Michael Ng said U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued guidance late Friday clarifying that 20 tech product categories—including smartphones, servers, routers, solid-state drives and semiconductor equipment—would be exempt from the sweeping 125% tariffs imposed on Chinese goods. 
The exemptions apply retroactively to April 5 and may soften the blow for key hardware manufacturers facing escalating trade tensions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Apple, Dell, HP Get A Reprieve</h3>
Goldman Sachs reversed recent estimate cuts on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) and HP Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>). 
"These adjustments largely reverse the estimate cuts we made on April 7," Ng said, tying the swing directly to the reversal in tariff policy.
Thanks to improved gross margins, Goldman now sees stronger profitability ahead for these firms.
According to the investment bank, the move is particularly favorable for smartphone, PC, server and networking equipment makers. Still, the bank stopped short of sounding the all-clear, saying that "ongoing uncertainty in trade policy and growth" continues to pose a risk to the sector.
Apple received one of the largest upgrades. Goldman lifted its 12-month target price from $242 to $259 and increased projected earnings per share for fiscal years 2025 through 2027 by 6% on average, with estimates now at $7.37, $8.27 and $9.24, respectively. The revised valuation assumes a 30-times multiple on earnings one year forward, consistent with prior models.
Shares of the Cupertino-based iPhone maker climbed 5.5% in Monday&#8217;s premarket session, nearly reversing the losses it suffered following Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement on April 2. 
Dell also saw a notable earnings bump. Goldman raised its fiscal 2026 EPS forecast from $7.57 to $9.13 and reiterated a target price of $95. That reflects a 9-times multiple on forward earnings, unchanged from previous assumptions.
Dell Technologies Inc. jumped 6%, also reclaiming ground lost earlier this month.
For HP Inc., while the rating remained Neutral, Goldman increased its fiscal 2025 and 2026 EPS projections by 10% on average, now forecasting $3.48 and $3.52. The 12-month price target holds steady at $27, based on a 7.5-times forward earnings multiple.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. gained 4%, while HP Inc. advanced 3.7%.
The broader Technology&nbsp;Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>)&nbsp;rose 2.1% by 8:00 a.m. ET. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why These Products Matter</h3>
The products now exempted from tariffs make up a significant chunk of the U.S.-China tech trade.
Data from the International Trade Centre show the U.S. exported $15 billion worth of electrical goods to China in 2024, along with $8.7 billion to Hong Kong and $7.3 billion to Taiwan. Smartphone exports alone totaled $5.6 billion to Greater China.
Imports, however, dwarf those figures. Last year, the U.S. imported $159 billion of related electronics from China and its territories, including $58.9 billion worth of smartphones.
These figures underline how deeply intertwined the two economies remain—particularly in the tech supply chain. 
Before the latest White House decision, some experts estimated the price of a brand-new iPhone 16 Pro could have surged past $2,250—a jump of roughly 60%.

Shares of semiconductor, electronics and hardware stocks are trading higher after the Trump administration excluded a range of technology products, including consumer electronics from the 145% reciprocal tariffs bucket.

HP's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.2% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 29.11 million shares sold short, which is 4.19% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.66 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>HP Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744376425_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for HP has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing HP's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, HP's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.92%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About HP?

NTAP

Shares of hardware and storage stocks are trading lower amid overall tech weakness as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

Shares of tech and hardware companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Despite President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs sending shockwaves through the stock market, one analyst believes the domestic automotive industry in the U.S. is poised for a surprising boost. Here is a list of potential beneficiaries and losers of the new trade policy. 
What Happened: While the tariffs of U.S. trading partners have had a damaging effect on the stock market, they have also fueled the fear of a slowdown in the economy and a possible recession.
According to John Murillo, the chief dealing officer at a global fintech solutions provider for financial institutions, B2BROKER, Trump's tariffs preemptively target metals, cars, and high-tech imports into the U.S., which seemingly spells trouble, &#8220;specifically for these sectors.&#8221;
However, he goes on to add that the &#8220;devil is always hiding in the details,&#8221; and sees the protectionist measures as a silver lining for the American automotive sector, predicting increased demand due to reduced foreign competition.
&#8220;Since tariffs are imposed on foreign cars competing with U.S. cars for consumer preferences, it will be precisely the American automotive industry that reaps the fruit of this protectionism,&#8221; Murillo told Benzinga.
Murillo states that despite the initial negative reaction following a cut in dividends by the Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) executives, &#8220;Ford and General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) will see higher demand on their production over time, which will offset all current inconveniences with reorientation for alternative foreign supply parts producers.&#8221;
&#8220;We must also not forget Donald Trump&#8216;s bet on the American oil industry,&#8221; adds Murillo, stating that he will &#8220;zealously protect American businesses, and we know that conventional energy is the subject of his special focus.&#8221; 
&#8220;He is expected to fight with big oil companies worldwide in every possible way, and this is very positive news for the U.S. oil stocks despite the current softness of oil prices,&#8221; which will especially benefit classic oil producers like Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), according to Murillo.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44705659/cathie-wood-points-to-serious-liquidity-issues-as-overnight-borrowing-rate-spreads-widen-o">Cathie Wood Points To &#8216;Serious Liquidity Issues&#8217; As Overnight Borrowing Rate Spreads Widen On Spiking Treasury Yields</a>
Why It Matters: Tariffs are considered protectionist policies as they are taxes that a government levies on imported goods. The primary objective of tariffs is to protect domestic industries that produce the same or similar goods.
However, they could lead to an increase in the prices of goods as the cost of producing the goods domestically increases.
Murillo also highlights the companies that will lose out because of these policies in the long run.
&#8220;The most evident losers will be retail stocks, such as Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), which traditionally formed most of their margins by arbitraging Chinese wholesale versus U.S. domestic retail prices.&#8221;
&#8220;PC, server, and phone equipment manufacturers like HP Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) will also feel the heat because many essential parts have been delivered from China for decades,&#8221; he adds.

HP and Reincubate Enter Partnership To Deliver Personalized, NPU-Based, On-Device AI Capabilities

President Donald Trump has set up a new body within the Commerce Department to manage the CHIPS and Science Act, 2022. 
What Happened: A new entity, the United States Investment Accelerator within the Commerce Department, will now oversee the CHIPS Act program, as established by an executive order signed by Trump on Monday.
Despite Trump&#8217;s past criticism of the bipartisan legislation, the White House said in its fact sheet that the new office will focus on &#8220;negotiating much better CHIPS Act deals&#8221; and streamlining investment processes through reduced regulatory burdens and faster permitting.
According to the <a href="https://www.semiconductors.org/chip-supply-chain-investments/">Semiconductor Industry Association</a>, the CHIPS Program has granted awards worth $32.5417 billion and provided loans up to $5.85 billion to 32 companies across 23 states. 
However, the new entity — Investment Accelerator that will be controlling the CHIPS Act, not only plans to expedite corporate investments but promises to deliver &#8221; the benefit of the bargain for taxpayers,&#8221; as per the Whit House fact sheet.
Other primary goals of the body include;
<ul>
<li>Reducing regulatory burdens</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Speeding up permitting;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Coordinating responses to investor issues across multiple Federal agencies; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Increasing access to national resources;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Facilitating collaboration with national laboratories; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Working with all 50 state governments and their economic development organizations.</li>
</ul>
Here are the U.S.-listed beneficiaries that have received grants under the CHIPS and Science Act, 2022 in the past.

Why It Matters: Trump has been vocal about his criticism of the CHIPS Act. On March 4, during his joint address to Congress, he said, &#8220;Your Chips Act is a horrible, horrible thing.&#8221;
He also urged U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to &#8220;get rid&#8221; of it and use &#8220;whatever is left over&#8221; to &#8220;reduce debt or any other reason you want to.&#8221;
However, the White House&#8217;s new plan has passed on the management of the act to the new entity. Since his time in office, Trump has been able to convince companies to invest in the U.S.
In early March, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE: TSM revealed its plans to inject another $100 billion into U.S. advanced semiconductor manufacturing, significantly expanding its ongoing $65 billion Arizona initiative and bringing total investment to $165 billion.
Similarly, the Magnificent 7 companies are widely expected to spend more than $330 billion on capex in 2025. While the chipmaker Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) hasn't explicitly mentioned a target during its earnings call, the iPhone maker Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) broadly expects to spend $500 billion over the next four years. The remaining companies, however, have provided a specific target for 2025.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Weigh In On 3 Tech Stocks With Over 4% Dividend Yields

On Monday, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ai-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Artificial intelligence chip stocks</a>, including&nbsp;Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>),&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>),&nbsp;Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>),&nbsp;Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), Marvell Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) were sliding.
Some reports indicate <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44174628/ai-chip-leaders-nvidia-amd-broadcom-slide-amid-marvell-earnings-and-us-policy-concerns" rel="noreferrer noopener">that</a> the U.S. chip subsidies for contract chipmakers like Taiwan Semiconductor may be scrapped. President Donald Trump recently revealed his want to scrap the U.S. CHIPS Act.

Trump&nbsp;is due to meet with the leaders of some of the leading tech companies, including&nbsp;HP Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>),&nbsp;Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>),&nbsp;International Business Machines Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), and&nbsp;Qualcomm, which are vulnerable to potential stricter tariff policies in the computer hardware industry.
Tariffs can make manufacturing hubs like China more expensive and potentially disrupt supply chains.
A lot has been brewing in the AI space since ChatGPT parent OpenAI&#8217;s emergence triggered an AI frenzy, prompting global Big Tech giants and startups to splurge on their AI ambitions.
Meanwhile, the U.S. imposed multiple semiconductor sanctions on China, restricting its access to sophisticated semiconductor technology, including AI, citing national security threats.
Today, the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>), which trades as a proxy for the top semiconductor stocks, slid into negative return territory on a one-year basis. SMH now has an annual negative return of 2.93% at the time of writing.
SMH had a 52-week high of $283.07 and has fallen 24.20% since. On a year-to-date basis, SMH is down 11.50%. Its biggest holding, Nvidia, is down 30% from its 52-week high of $153.13.
Though Nvidia has lost 20% year-to-date, it is still up by 24.75% on a one-year basis. Its peer Broadcom is still up 42% on a one-year basis but down 20.50% year-to-date. Taiwan Semiconductor is down 14% year-to-date.
The U.S. semiconductor sector has been hot since the AI buzz. However, China caught up in the AI race when DeepSeek launched and claimed that its AI model was built at a fraction of the cost compared to legacy models like ChatGPT.
The U.S. may ban <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44201104/usa-targets-deepseek-weighs-restrictions-on-chinas-ai-firm-that-shook-nvidias-market-value-by-600-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">DeepSeek&#8217;s chatbot from</a> government devices over national security concerns, joining allies like Italy and Canada.
DeepSeek claim cost&nbsp;Nvidia $600 billion in market capitalization in&nbsp;a single day. The Chinese AI startup&#8217;s AI model fueled a $1 trillion market wipeout, prompting U.S. regulators to tighten semiconductor restrictions.
Price Actions: NVDA stock closed lower by 5.03%, TSM -3.64%, AVGO -5.39%, ARM -7.30% on Monday.

Slowdown And Tariff Talk Grips The Hottest Sector On Wall Street - Semiconductor ETF Now Has A Negative 1-Year Return

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ai-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Artificial intelligence chip stocks</a>, including Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), and Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), are trading lower Thursday in sympathy with AI infrastructure stock Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).
On Wednesday, Marvell <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44152781/marvell-technology-stock-drops-after-q4-results-q1-guidance-roughly-in-line-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported fourth-quarter</a> adjusted earnings of 60 cents per share, beating the 59 cents consensus estimate. Quarterly revenue was $1.82 billion, up 27%, beating the&nbsp;$1.79 billion analyst consensus estimate.

Strong growth in its data center end market drove the growth. Marvell expects first-quarter revenue of $1.78 billion-$1.96 billion, versus the $1.87 billion estimate.
The company expects <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44160046/marvell-surpasses-ai-chip-sales-target-aims-higher-for-2026-but-stock-plunges-due-to-muted-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">overall revenue from</a> the auto and industrial end market to decline sequentially in the high single digits on a percentage basis.

President Donald Trump recently indicated his desire to scrap the U.S. CHIPS Act.
Next week, President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;will meet leaders of some of the leading tech companies, including HP Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>),&nbsp;Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>),&nbsp;International Business Machines Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), and&nbsp;Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), which are vulnerable to Trump's potential stricter tariff policies in the computer hardware industry, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-06/trump-is-set-to-meet-with-technology-leaders-early-next-week?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Tariffs can make manufacturing hubs like China more expensive and potentially disrupt supply chains. Therefore, technology companies sought transparency regarding restrictions on exporting advanced technology to artificial intelligence data centers.
Meanwhile, Taiwan President&nbsp;Lai Ching-te&nbsp;and Taiwan Semi CEO&nbsp;C.C. Wei&nbsp;held a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44165513/taiwan-semiconductor-ceo-taiwan-president-to-discuss-100-billion-us-expansion-not-afraid-of-losing-us-subsidies" rel="noreferrer noopener">press briefing on Thursday</a> and said it was "not afraid" of losing Washington's subsidies for its massive U.S. investments.
Earlier this week, the Taiwanese contract chipmaker announced plans to invest another $100 billion in its U.S. facilities in addition to its existing investment of $65 billion. Any additional U.S. investment made by TSMC would require Taiwan's government's approval. Taiwan maintained that the country would continue to be the key advanced semiconductor headquarters.
Price Action: NVDA stock is down 4.4%, TSM -3.38%, QCOM -1.55%, AVGO -5.20% at the last check on Thursday.
