TSMC is set to raise foundry prices by up to 6% starting in January 2027, reflecting tight capacity and robust demand from the AI boom. Concurrently, NVIDIA's CEO highlighted that AI safety testing alone could drive compute demand up by 10x, reinforcing the structural growth thesis for semiconductor equipment and foundry services. This pricing power and demand visibility are key drivers for the semiconductor sector's outperformance.
