Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) shares rose on Tuesday even as DIGITIMES reported that the global foundry's "major" fabless customers have started cutting back wafer starts in 2023.
The news outlet, citing industry sources, noted that the cuts may result in Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) revising its revenue outlook at an investor conference in January.
Major clients of Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) include Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Broadcom (AVGO), Nvidia (NVDA) and more.

Taiwan's exports rose 2% year-over-year in August to $54.59B, compared to an expected decline of 2% year-over-year, according to data from the country's Ministry of Economic Affairs.
In July, exports from the island nation fell 1.9% year-over-year.
