TSMC shouldn't be impacted by US chip curbs: Analyst on earnings

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM) shares were getting a lift higher in Thursday's pre-market trading — the chip stock holding onto morning gains after the market open — after reporting fourth quarter earnings results, which saw record quarterly profits that climbed 57%. The AI semiconductor landscape could face even bigger challenges, as outgoing President Biden prepares to lay out possible new regulations on TSMC chips. Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has criticized Biden's latest round of export controls on chips, with the company calling the administration's efforts "unprecedented and misguided." To talk more about the semiconductor manufacturer's latest earnings print, Wedbush Securities managing director Matt Bryson sits down with the Morning Brief team "Taiwan Semi is in a good place, not just for 2025, but 2026, 2027 and beyond. A lot of that has to do with them being the only supplier of these advanced semiconductors," Bryson tells Seana Smith and Brad Smith. "They went from being competitive with Samsung (005930.KS) or Intel (INTC) to effectively being in a monopolistic position in terms of year over year versus sequential." The equity research analyst, who covers the enterprise hardware sector, believes that any chip curbs issued by US regulators may not have much of an impact on TSMC, which operates at a broader global scale than most chipmakers.

UnitedHealth misses Q4 revenue forecast, medical cost challenges

UnitedHealth Group (UNH) reported weaker-than-expected fourth quarter revenue due to weakness in its health insurance unit and soaring medical costs. Morning Brief hosts Brad Smith and Seana Smith discuss the company’s underperformance, while also citing challenges it has faced in the wake of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's assassination on December 4, 2024; the stock price has fallen by nearly $100 since then. Despite this, UnitedHealth remains committed to bettering healthcare accessibility and anticipates growth in 2025.

CPI steady at 2.9%, Fed could pause interest rate hikes

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that December’s CPI remained steady at 2.9% year over year, while core CPI — excluding food and energy — came in at 3.2% annually, which was less than expected. Aditya Bhave, senior US economist at Bank of America (BAC) Securities, joins Market Domination to discuss the impact of this data, noting that while it’s positive, the Federal Reserve "is going to be on hold moving forward." "What this report does, and it is undoubtedly good news ... it trims the tail risks of a hike," Bhave explains. "We have not been in the re-acceleration camp; we've been in the sticky inflation camp." Bhave emphasizes the importance of quarter one data and admits he feels "comfortable" with inflation being stuck around 2.5%, noting that it's where the Fed says "we’ll be at the end of this year as well." Additionally, Bhave notes that he doesn't see interest rate cuts unless inflation decreases faster, particularly in rents and owners' equivalent rent (OER).
