(AI video summary) This video was created on 12 February 2026 for IG audiences by ausbiz. NYSE code: TSM TSMC’s impressive financial results Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) recently reported its financial results, achieving a record high share price driven by robust demand for its advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips. The company recorded its highest ever monthly revenue for January, totalling US$12.7 billion, and a net income of US$33.7 billion for the fourth quarter (Q4) that exceeded expectations. TSMC also achieved record gross and net profit margins of 62.3% and 48.3%, respectively. The company holds a 71% market share in the global chip market and over 90% for the most advanced chips used in AI applications. TSMC plans to allocate up to US$56 billion in capital expenditure (capex) this year, marking a 40% increase from the previous year. Geopolitical and operational outlook Despite its impressive performance, TSMC faces potential geopolitical risks associated with its location in Taiwan. Analysts acknowledge Taiwan Semiconductor's critical role, supplying advanced chips essential for companies like Apple and Tesla. Concerns remain about potential conflicts over Taiwan, but TSMC's establishment of manufacturing facilities in Europe and the United States (US) indicates efforts to mitigate these risks. Investment outlook While the stock has performed strongly, TSMC TSMC trades at a price‑earnings‑to‑growth (PEG) ratio below 1.0, suggesting earnings growth continues to outpace valuation. The company is viewed as a more stable long‑term semiconductor exposure than individual chip designers, given its diversified customer base.

James Van Der Beek has died at 48, leaving a Dawson-shaped hole in the heart of many a millennial TV fanatic. A role model to all of a certain age, Dawson Leery taught us how to break and enter, how to be a bad friend and, most importantly, how to yearn. His years-long pursuit of the girl next door is still, for some of us, the reason we keep sending late-night texts to people who absolutely do not want to hear from us. So, as we grieve the floppy-haired man who became the less-hot lead as the series went on, let’s look back at some of the most iconic moments spent in Capeside. 10. Every time the theme song played From its rousing piano intro to its stirring snare drum climax, Paula Cole’s I Don’t Want to Wait became the anthem of 90s romantics everywhere. We felt those lyrics deep in our teenaged hearts – we’re 15, we’ll be dead before we know it, there’s no time to waste. I thought about walking down the aisle to this song, but my literal wedding somehow didn’t seem romantic enough to justify it. 9. Jen’s arrival In my memory, Jen Lindley’s taxi pulled up much later in the show’s run, but she actually arrives in the pilot episode. NYC transplant and love interest Jen is everything Dawson’s childhood pal and longstanding flame Joey isn’t: blonde, cosmopolitan, and blonde. Sent to live with her Grams after a life of sex and drugs (rarely mentioned), Jen throws back her shiny hair, swishes her summer dress, and drives an immediate wedge between Joey, Dawson and his best friend Pacey, setting the next six seasons in motion. 8. Jack coming out through a poem The 90s was a peak time for poems as plot devices (“I don’t hate you, not even a little bit, not even at all”) but the outing of shy Capeside high schooler Jack by his English teacher was one of the more memorable. Having found the words to begin to express his sexuality, Jack finds himself forced to read his feelings aloud in front of his whole class. Weeping through his (beautiful) verse, Jack finally flees the c...

fcafotodigital/iStock via Getty Images Shares of NMI Holdings ( NMIH ) have been a solid performer over the past year, gaining 14%. The private mortgage insurer has been relatively active in writing new policies, and while these policies carry higher risk than legacy exposure, underwriting results continue to be excellent. I last covered shares in November , rating the stock a “hold,” but this outlook was too conservative with NMI rallying over 11% since then as shares have rallied past by $40.50 price target in a fairly short period of time. With updated financials, now is a good time to revisit NMIH. Seeking Alpha In the company’s fourth quarter , NMI earned $1.20, which beat estimates by a penny as revenue grew 9% to $181 million. For the full year, EPS was $4.92, which was consistent with my $4.87-$4.93 outlook. The company continues to grow its policy exposure, and we are starting to see signs of increasing losses from extremely low levels. While I do not expect losses to be problematic, this raises the question of whether we are at peak earnings, which does keep a lid on its potential valuation. During the quarter, it wrote $14.2 billion of policies, and insurance in force is now $221.4 billion, which was up 5% from last year. Written policies were up substantially from $12 billion last year. Lower interest rates have helped to support some increased activity in the housing market, and relative to peers, NMI has been more aggressive in growing its policy book, likely taking some market share. While it has been more aggressive in writing new policies, NMI maintains solid underwriting standards. Its average FICO score was 759 and just 3% of policies were to borrowers with a sub-680 FICO scare in Q4. This high-quality borrower base should help to limit losses, even if we see some labor market weakening. About 11% of policies have initial loan-to-values (LTV) above 95%, and the average LTV was 91.6%, providing a slightly larger equity cushion than a year ago when ...

Key Points Early IRA withdrawals usually result in a 10% penalty. There's a limited exception for first-time homebuyers. Withdrawing IRA funds to buy a home is a move you might kick yourself for later. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › Given that home prices today remain elevated and mortgage rates are high as well, buying a place of your own could be an extremely difficult prospect. And if you have money sitting in an IRA, you may be tempted to raid that account to make a home purchase possible. Normally, IRA withdrawals taken before age 59 1/2 incur a 10% early withdrawal penalty. But that penalty is waived if you withdraw up to $10,000 to purchase a first-time home. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Hitting up your IRA might seem like a good bet if you're struggling to make a down payment on a house today. But in today's market, it doesn't make sense. The median existing-home sale price in December was $405,400, per the National Association of Realtors. If you're trying to make a 20% down payment to avoid private mortgage insurance, you need to come up with roughly $81,000 for a typical home today. Even if you're aiming for a 5% down payment, you'll need around $20,000. If you and a spouse each have an IRA, you could get $20,000 penalty-free out of those accounts. But then you'll be left with a huge mortgage you might struggle to keep up with. You might also risk ending up underwater on your mortgage if home prices plummet. Plus, every dollar you take out of your IRA is a dollar you can't invest. And that could leave you with a huge savings shortfall once you actually retire. It's incredibly frustrating to feel like you need to keep putting off homeownership. But you're much better off waiting until you can cover your down payment without having to raid your retirement savings. And doing so may...

Information on Zhipu's AI service on the web, dubbed Z.ai, arranged on a computer in Shanghai, Jan. 7, 2026. Raul Ariano | Bloomberg | Getty Images Chinese artificial intelligence stocks rallied Thursday as several companies unveiled upgraded models and top policymakers renewed calls for a broader adoption of the technology. Hong Kong-listed Zhipu AI — that trades as Knowledge Atlas Technology — surged 30% after releasing its GLM-5, an open-source large-language model with enhanced coding capabilities and long-running agent tasks. The company said the model approaches Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5 in coding benchmarks while surpassing Google's Gemini 3 Pro on some tests. CNBC could not verify those claims. MiniMax, which on Wednesday's launched its M2.5 open-source model on its overseas website, saw shares in Hong Kong jump 11%. The company describes M2 as "a model built for Max coding & agentic workflows." The Shanghai STAR AI Industry Index climbed 1.7% before paring gains. The rally comes amid intensifying competition in AI as Chinese developers race to match U.S. rivals with a flurry of new model and agent releases. DeepSeek, which took the world by storm last year, also upgraded its flagship AI model on Wednesday, adding support for a larger context window and more up-to-date knowledge, according to a report from the South China Morning Post. Ant Group also released its open-source AI model, Ming-Flash-Omni 2.0, on Wednesday. The "unified multimodal model" is capable of generating speech, music, sound effects and visuals. Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday called for a comprehensive push to implement AI "in diverse scenarios to unlock the potential of the technology."

Citadel has hired AJ Bolduc from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to lead Asia trading and equity capital markets at Ken Griffin’s hedge fund firm, said a person with knowledge of the matter. Bolduc will work in the International Equities team in Hong Kong as head of Asia trading and primary strategies, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. Representatives for Citadel and Goldman Sachs declined to comment. Bolduc didn’t reply to a request for comment. Citadel, which manages $65 billion, is looking to boost the International Equities unit’s capital allocation to Asia significantly over the next two to three years. Drew Gillanders , who heads the division from London, has been spending time regularly in the region recruiting, evaluating and coaching portfolio managers and investment analysts. It is one of four units at Citadel that use fundamental research to invest in stocks. The other three operate solely in the US. Before joining Citadel, Bolduc helped work on share sales by companies and investors at Macquarie Group Ltd. as well as Goldman Sachs, according to her LinkedIn profile. She was a member of the Wall Street bank’s stock trading team for almost eight years, her profile shows. Her departure comes shortly after she became one of the 2025 crop of newly minted managing directors, which took effect Jan. 1, according to a list posted on Goldman Sachs’s website. Her arrival follows the recent departure of Justin Haik , a former Morgan Stanley equity capital markets banker who had joined Citadel from event-driven hedge fund Senrigan Capital Group alongside that firm’s founder, Nick Taylor . Trader Keith Donan is also leaving Citadel.
