Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing plans to invest $100 billion to build out chip-making facilities in the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter.
The company intends to make the investment over the next four years as part of a federal effort that could be announced as soon as later today, The Wall Street Journal first reported.
TSMC didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Barron's.
The chip maker has been the subject of rumors as of late. TSMC is also reportedly thinking of taking a stake in Intel's struggling foundry business or buying the division outright.
The Taiwanese company was founded in 1987 and only recently began operating in the U.S. In May 2020, TSMC said it planned to build the company's first factory on U.S. soil in Phoenix.
The company has since started construction on two other semiconductor manufacturing facilities at the same site. While mass production at the first factory began in late 2024, the most advanced chip components are still made overseas.
U.S.-listed shares of TSMC climbed nearly 90% in 2024, their best percentage gain since a 290% increase in 1999, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The stock was down 1.2% to $178.36 on Monday.
