The semiconductor industry is poised for significant growth in 2026, with revenue expected to reach $975.4 billion, driven by AI proliferation. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) and ASML are highlighted as top investment opportunities due to their roles in advanced chip production. TSMC's 2nm node production is sold out for 2026, and ASML's equipment demand is set to rise. AI spending is projected to boost the semiconductor market, benefiting companies like Nvidia. Investors may see substantial gains from these stocks in the new year.
Nvidia, TSMC, and ASML are all foundational stocks of the booming AI market.
A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck southeastern Taiwan on December 24, 2025, with a depth of 7.39 miles. The quake was felt as far north as Taipei, but no immediate damage was reported. Taiwan chipmaker TSMC stated that the quake did not necessitate factory evacuations.
Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) stocks are the top three artificial intelligence (AI) stocks to buy now and into 2026.
The approval of GLP-1 weight-loss pills is expected to drive changes in the food industry, with companies adapting to consumer preferences for high-protein, GLP-1 friendly products and smaller portions. Analysts predict long-term shifts in demand as more Americans opt for the pills over injections. Food companies like Conagra and Nestle are already adjusting their offerings, while restaurants are updating menus to cater to GLP-1 users. The Cornell study shows reduced spending at grocery stores and restaurants among GLP-1 users, indicating broader market changes.
