Ti and Intel stocks sink when China rates hit US manufactured chips

Shares of Chipmakers with US manufacturing plants fell on Friday after China announced new rates, which were aimed at semiconductor input. Beijing will increase rates on all US goods from 84% to 125%, and the China Semiconductor Industry Association has issued an emergency notice, saying that customs determine the origin of the import where slides are manufactured, not the homeland of origin. The news puts exceptional pressure on Texas Instruments Inc. and Intel Corp., with semiconductor plants in the US. TI shares fell by 6.8%, while Intel sank 3.7%and Globalfunries Inc. fell by 2.4%. “It’s an incredibly uncertain time for chipmakers, and it certainly won’t help,” said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at Phoenix Financial Services. “Anything that hurts semi’s more than they have already hit is bad for the general market,” he said. Analog Devices Inc. and Microchip Technology Inc. Also trade lower, along with Skyworks Solutions Inc. and Qorvo Inc., with the latter two notable suppliers to Apple Inc.

The rates exclude companies that design chips but do not manufacture them in the US, which leads to shares of some chipmakers performing better on the day. Nvidia Corp. rose 2.2%, while the shares of the US-listed shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. increased by 3.3%. The rates are likely to be ‘very good’ for TSMC, and also act as a positive for Qualcomm Inc. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc., says Jordan Klein, a specialist in the technical sector at Mizuho Securities. “All my feedback indicates that US trade in the US China is now important for semi-shares and stock markets that are recovering,” Klein wrote in a note, with an emphasis. “Very little I am talking to believe that a China agreement will be beaten soon.” He sees positioning in semis as ‘very light’ given the uncertainty. © 2025 Bloomberg MP This article was generated from an automatic news agency feed without edits to text.
