Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) reported its slowest rate of monthly sales growth in more than 18 months. Despite this, analysts believe the AI trade is not at risk of decline. TSMC's sales rose 17% last month, the slowest since February 2024, but experts suggest it's not a sign of diminishing AI demand. Concerns about a potential AI bubble and market valuations persist, but TSMC's guidance for continued growth indicates stability in the industry.
