Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Just Gave a Warning to Nvidia Investors
It reported a blowout quarter, but it wasn't enough to send the stock higher.
Overview
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) (TSMC) just reported blockbuster earnings, and yet the stock fell after the report. The chip fabricator is fielding explosive demand, and it's investing in the build-out to meet it.

Shares of the chip foundry fell 5% after the earnings report, and it sent chip stocks down across all markets. Here's why it's a warning for Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) shareholders.
