TSMC’s U.S. investment reaches $265 billion as Taiwan’s AI supply chain expands into Southeast Asia

Taiwan’s AI hardware supply chain is spreading across two main regions as demand for AI servers keeps rising: the United States for wafer production and server assembly, and Southeast Asia for key components. According to Nikkei, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has lifted its total U.S. investment to $265 billion, while Quanta, Wistron and Inventec are also increasing capital injections into their American subsidiaries. At the same time, component makers including Auras, TUC, ASE Technology Holding and Foxconn-linked ShunSin are expanding in Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore. Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute (MIC) estimated in April that the U.S. share of AI server capacity held by Taiwanese companies will rise from 23% this year to 40% by 2030, while Taiwan’s share will fall from 47% to 30%. Trade data cited by Nikkei also points to the same shift: Taiwan’s imports from ASEAN countries reached $70.4 billion from January to August, up 75.4% from a year earlier. Taiwan’s Ministry of Finance said growing demand for components and the gradual regional diversification of the AI supply chain were the main drivers behind the jump.

OpenAI-Firmus deal lifts contracted capacity above 900 MW as yen hits seven-month high

WhiteLine Daily highlighted four developments on the day. Reuters reported that OpenAI signed a multi-year computing agreement with Australian AI infrastructure company Firmus, which will supply capacity from two data centers in Malaysia. Following the deal, Firmus said its total contracted capacity across all customers rose to more than 900 MW, a figure that does not refer to OpenAI alone. The company is backed by NVIDIA, Jane Street, funds affiliated with Blackstone, and Coatue Management, and was valued at more than $10.5 billion in its last funding round. Bloomberg reported that Anthropic decided not to move forward with a roughly $6 billion acquisition of Decart AI after conducting due diligence, though the two sides may still explore other forms of cooperation. Reuters also reported that Wistron, an NVIDIA supplier and server maker in Taiwan, raised $1.47 billion through a global depositary receipt offering, with existing shareholders expected to face dilution of about 7.29%. Separately, the yen climbed to 152.89 per dollar in Asian trading, its strongest level in seven months, and was up about 4.5% since early last week.

Wistron prices $1.472 billion GDR deal, shares fall 5.33% the next day

Wistron has priced its global depositary receipt, or GDR, offering at a total deal size of $1.472 billion, according to a material disclosure the company filed on Sept. 7. The transaction involves 25 million GDR units priced at $58.88 each, with every unit representing 10 common shares, for a total of 250 million common shares. The pricing date was Sept. 7, while issuance is scheduled for Sept. 10. The securities will be issued and traded on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Based on the exchange rate used in the filing, NT$31.631 to the U.S. dollar, the implied price per common share is about NT$186.24. Wistron’s shares closed at NT$197 on Sept. 7, putting the GDR pricing at a discount of about 5.5% to the previous close. After the pricing announcement was released late that night, the stock opened at NT$189 on Sept. 8, fell as low as NT$182.5 during the session, and finished at NT$186.5, down NT$10.5 or 5.33% from the prior trading day. The company said the proceeds will be used to support foreign-currency raw material purchases. Wistron also said the issuance would result in dilution of about 7.29%, adding that it would not cause material dilution to shareholder equity.

Amazon AWS Boosts AI Server Cabinet Orders, Benefiting TSMC and Other Suppliers

Amazon Web Services has significantly increased its pull-in orders for AI server cabinets, according to supply chain sources, driving strong shipments from key partners including TSMC, Alchip Technologies, Wistron, and Hon Hai. Amazon raised its 2025 capital expenditure forecast to $220 billion, up from $200 billion, primarily for AI infrastructure such as data centers, servers, and networking equipment. CEO Andy Jassy expects AI computing demand to outpace supply through 2027 and into 2028. AWS's AI business and custom chip efforts have grown to $25 billion, maintaining triple-digit growth. Annapurna Labs' custom ASICs are mostly manufactured by TSMC using 3nm process. Alchip Technologies, a crucial partner, forecasts record quarterly revenue and profit. Wistron assembles AWS's ASIC AI cabinets and supplies switch trays, while Hon Hai provides CPU trays. Hon Hai rotating CEO Chiang Chi-heng targets over 40% market share in ASIC servers.

Wiwynn shares stay below ex-rights price as odd-lot handling draws retail backlash

Wiwynn, the AI server maker listed in Taiwan as 6669, came under pressure after a high-profile ex-rights event failed to deliver the rebound some investors had expected. Before the adjustment, the stock surged to a record TWD 7,800 on Sept. 1. It then opened ex-rights at TWD 2,615 on Sept. 2, but the anticipated price recovery did not follow. Shares fell for two straight sessions. On the third trading day, the stock rose 3.64% to TWD 2,565, still below the ex-rights reference price. The larger controversy centered on odd lots created by the stock dividend. Wiwynn distributed about 1,982.79 shares for every 1,000 shares held, or roughly 1.98279 shares per share. That left many smaller investors with fractional holdings that could not be combined into standard board lots. Under current rules, if shareholders do not combine those odd lots within five days from the book-closure date, the company will pay cash at par value of TWD 10 per share for the remainder, and the chairman may arrange for designated buyers to subscribe at par. Retail investors criticized the mechanism online, arguing that shares worth far more in the market could effectively be taken away at a symbolic price.

Dell Raises Full-Year Forecast as AI Server Orders Lift Taiwan Suppliers

Dell Technologies raised its full-year revenue forecast to $192 billion, with AI server revenue expected to reach $74 billion, three times the level of the previous year. The company said it had received more than $130 billion in AI server orders over the past 12 months, while its remaining AI server backlog stood at $95 billion. Dell’s quarterly revenue and adjusted earnings per share also came in above market expectations, sending its stock up about 10% in after-hours trading. The company’s traditional general-purpose server business has recovered as enterprises deploying complex systems such as AI agents still require CPU servers for resource allocation and task management. Dell’s PC division reported 20% year-over-year revenue growth to $15 billion, while segment profit rose 42% after higher component costs, including memory, were passed on to end customers. Taiwan-based suppliers Wistron, Hon Hai, Inventec, Compal, and cooling and power-component makers are positioned within the supply chain linked to Dell’s server demand. The article says shipment volumes could extend into next year, while system-integration complexity, cost pass-through and gross-margin changes remain key measures of the actual benefit to suppliers.
