00:00Everyone keeps asking if the AI boom is over. Taiwan Semiconductor just answered that. TSMC
00:06posted a blowout quarter with profits up 35%, margins up 62%, and record revenue. And it set
00:13off a chain reaction with AI stops. Why? Because TSMC doesn't just make chips,
00:19it manufactures every Nvidia GPU powering AI today. That means when TSMC raises 2026 capital
00:26spending to over 50 billion dollars, it's not guessing. It's responding to real orders.
00:32That's why AI infrastructure names like CoreWeave and Nebius jumped. Their biggest risk isn't demand,
00:39it's supply. TSMC also crushed the AI bubble narrative. High performance computing now makes
00:44up 55% of total revenue. And management says demand is coming from hyperscalers, enterprises,
00:51and governments. And long-term holders just got paid. Funds like Fisher, Sanders Capital, and KOTU
00:58locked in over 6 billion dollars in gains by staying put. This wasn't hype chasing,
01:03this was confirmation. AI isn't slowing down and TSMC just proved it.
