Taiwan Stocks Swing Over 550 Points as AI Shares Face Profit-Taking

Electronic Technology · Semiconductors · economic_daily · 2026-09-08

Taiwan stocks experienced high volatility, closing down 220 points as AI-related shares faced selling pressure despite resilience in TSMC.

What Happened

Market Volatility: The Taiwan Stock Exchange experienced significant intraday volatility, with a range exceeding 550 points before closing down 220.49 points at 47,105.78. Trading volume reached NT$876.62 billion as investors navigated a session lacking clear direction from US markets.

Key Stock Performance: Performance among major tech stocks was mixed, with TSMC managing a 0.41% gain while MediaTek fell 1.05%. AI server manufacturers, including Wistron and Quanta, faced heavy selling pressure, ending the day down 5.33% and 5.61% respectively.

Sector Highlights: Memory stocks showed resilience due to rising prices, with Winbond and Nanya Technology posting gains. High-priced stocks saw divergent trends, as the second-highest priced stock, Quanta Computer, hit the daily limit down, while Yingwei surged to the limit up following record revenue results.

Outlook: Analysts note that while the index remains technically strong above its monthly average, it is being held back by the underperformance of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. Market participants are now closely watching upcoming US CPI and PPI data to gauge the Federal Reserve's September policy path.
