Is AI in a bubble? Is 台積電 going to Texas? Quantedge directly addresses 4 major market concerns, stressing that delivery capacity is key
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Lee Hung-chi, founder of 寬量國際 (QIC), addressed 4 major market concerns at a fourth-quarter news conference: an AI investment bubble, geopolitics, 台積電’s overseas facilities and capacity delivery. He stressed that delivery capacity is key.
Facts
寬量國際 (QIC) held a fourth-quarter news conference and Q&A on the 12th, where founder and CEO Lee Hung-chi addressed 4 major market concerns.
Lee Hung-chi acknowledged that he could not guarantee his forecasts for the outlook through 2030 would come true, but said he was more confident about demand in 2027 and 2028.
Quantedge senior adviser Ho Po-chieh said the Taiwan supply chain’s long-standing strengths in research and development, efficiency and customer collaboration provide an important foundation for weathering external shocks.
Quantedge senior adviser Wu Pei-jung said the firm had observed server-related companies expanding into the United States, and that some of its clients were in the BBU sector.
Quantedge adviser Chen Chun-ning acknowledged that energy and electricity are equally important to AI infrastructure, and that aging power grids and the need to improve efficiency must be addressed alongside the expansion of computing capacity.
Lee Hung-chi said companies need funding not only for capital expenditures but also for working capital, which grows as orders and business expand.
Where is the next 川湖 or 台光電? A breakdown of Quantedge’s AI 500 list, from shipped products and indirect beneficiaries to companies still positioning themselves
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
寬量國際 released its QIC AI 500 study, identifying 500 potential AI beneficiaries among non-large-cap technology companies. It divided them into 2 categories: clear beneficiaries and companies with substantial but small exposure, advising investors to distinguish between evidence of shipments and evidence of revenue.
Facts
寬量國際 released its “QIC AI 500” study on the 12th, reviewing 2,289 companies outside the T50 and compiling a list of 500.
Of the companies on the AI 500 list, 232 were classified as Category A, “clear AI beneficiaries,” and 268 as Category B, “substantial but small exposure.”
川湖, 台光電 and 穎崴 were cited by Quantedge as past growth examples but were not included in the AI 500 list released this time.
The list notes that 茂達’s server IC business is expected to ramp up later, while 博磊 has submitted samples but has yet to contribute revenue.
寬量’s 20th QIC CEO Week will hold an in-person forum in Hong Kong on October 13 to 14.
Do foreign investors’ net sales mean they are bearish on Taiwan stocks? 寬量’s Lee Hung-chi breaks down ECB arbitrage, GDRs and ETF fund flows
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Lee Hung-chi, founder of 寬量國際, said at a news conference on the 12th that foreign investors’ net selling in Taiwan’s spot market does not mean they are bearish on Taiwanese companies, as it involves cross-market trades and hedging strategies related to ECBs, GDRs and ETFs.
Facts
At 寬量國際’s fourth-quarter news conference on the 12th, founder Lee Hung-chi shared his analysis of foreign investor activity.
After investing in an ECB, foreign investors may realize gains through conversion and stock trades, resulting in the same company receiving funds from an overseas offering while foreign investors sell its shares in Taiwan’s stock market.
Convertible bond investments may be paired with short positions in the underlying shares as a hedge, reducing the effect of share-price fluctuations on the overall investment.
寬量國際 did not provide a complete breakdown attributing trades at this news conference, so the proportions of net selling accounted for by different strategies cannot be quantified.
Taiwan’s AI 500 market capitalization could reach $2.7 trillion! 寬量: Leaders hold 6.8 trillion in cash, with capacity expansion driving small and midsize suppliers
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
寬量國際 released its QIC AI 500 study, projecting that the AI companies’ combined market capitalization will reach $2.66 trillion in 2030. Large Taiwanese technology companies have ample cash and continue to raise funds, and their capacity expansion will drive growth among small and midsize suppliers.
Facts
寬量 projects that the AI 500’s combined market capitalization will reach about $2.66 trillion by 2030.
Taiwan’s large technology companies in the T50 had accumulated about 6.82 trillion yuan in cash by the end of the first half.
Global AI-related annual capital expenditure is projected to rise from $512.5 billion in 2025 to about $3.7 trillion in 2030.
Equity-related fundraising in Taiwan’s capital markets totaled about NT$873 billion as of Sept. 14.
Revenue from AI-related businesses at T50 companies is projected to rise from 33% of global AI-related capital expenditure in 2026 to 58% in 2030.
“Chiang Wan-an’s reelection is still a sure thing!” Doctor says the “ocean current” is just a feint: The DPP is really trying to hold Kaohsiung
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Physician Su Wei-shuo analyzed the 2026 Taipei mayoral race, saying the DPP’s attacks on Chiang Wan-an were merely a feint aimed at securing the battle for Kaohsiung. He believes Chiang Wan-an is on solid footing for reelection, and that his influence will help the KMT’s prospects in Kaohsiung.
Facts
Physician Su Wei-shuo wrote on Facebook that the DPP’s attacks on Chiang Wan-an were clearly a feint, with the real aim of holding Kaohsiung, where the race is a true toss-up.
Su Wei-shuo believes the real toss-up is not Taipei or New Taipei, but Kaohsiung.
If the DPP loses Kaohsiung, President Lai Ching-te will have to resign as party chairman.
For the New Tide faction, competing in Taipei would be doing someone else a favor; winning Kaohsiung is the faction’s only base.
The Tsai faction wants to use this campaign to build Shen Po-yang’s image as a “presidential-level” figure.
Chiang Wan-an’s temperament, image and governing style will greatly boost support among centrist voters for KMT candidate Ko Chih-en.
Jaw Shaw-kong schedules a second interview with Shen Po-yang; Kuo Cheng-liang criticizes the DPP, saying its vice-presidential candidate would be the one interviewing Chiang Wan-an.
Chiang Wan-an has agreed to an exclusive interview with Jaw Shaw-kong and will appear on “Shaokang War Room” on Oct. 19.
Feng Hsien-hsien believes Shen Po-yang’s cameo in a prime-time drama would make a joke of the credible image he has built and be a misstep.
The wave of support for Shen Po-yang shows that his influence has grown greater than the DPP’s.
Feng Hsien-hsien criticized those who came up with the bad idea, saying they should reflect seriously instead of constantly thinking about publicity stunts and higher ratings.
