Alphabet's stock rose 2.8% following a positive outlook on the AI sector, driven by strong demand for AI chips manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), which is sold out through mid-2028. Alphabet's AI chip production, especially its TPU chips made with TSMC, is growing rapidly and expected to increase sales significantly through 2028.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Chipmakers supplying TSMC should prepare for surging demand driven by Alphabet’s AI chip growth and hyperscaler buying. You can expect sales contracts and supply chain shifts as AI chip production expands through 2028.
