Foreign Investment Propels Taiwan Stocks to Record Highs, Favoring AI and PC Concept Stocks Over Financial Holdings
The Taiwan stock market experienced a significant surge today, reaching an all-time closing high at 21,551 points, which represents an increase of 315 points. The rise in the stock market is primarily attributed to substantial foreign investment, particularly in AI and PC-related concept stocks such as Acer (2353-TW) and Compal Electronics (2324-TW), with over 81,000 shares purchased.
Overall, foreign investors injected a total of NT$321.11 billion into the market, alongside domestic dealers who added another NT$39.64 billion, whereas investment trusts sold off NT$2.52 billion, ending a previous trend of continuous selling. The concerted purchase efforts by foreign institutions weren't limited to direct stock purchases; they also reduced their short positions in futures, decreasing the number of open short contracts by 2,572 to 5,663.
The focus of foreign investors on stocks related to AI and PCs signal a clear strategy shift, moving away from traditional, high-frequency financial stocks to embrace technology and innovation-driven sectors. Stocks like United Microelectronics Corporation (2303-TW) and AU Optronics (2409-TW) also saw significant buying, with each exceeding transactions of over 25,000 shares. Moreover, high-dividend ETFs such as Fubon Taiwan Technology Dividend ETF (00929-TW), Cathay Sustainable High Dividend ETF (00878-TW), and Yuanta High Dividend Yield ETF (0056-TW) were among the top ten purchases indicating a balanced investment approach focusing on growth-driven and yield-generating assets.
In contrast, the sectors that saw the most selling by foreign investors were traditional industries and financial stocks. This included companies like China Steel (2002-TW), E.SUN Financial (2884-TW), EVA Airways (2618-TW), and Fubon Financial (2890-TW), all witnessing substantial sales with each company seeing sales of at least 10,000 shares.
The synchronization between foreign investor activities and local investment trusts and dealers was particularly evident as both entities showed increased interest in stocks like United Microelectronics Corporation, Compal Electronics, and Acer. Combined, these stocks experienced substantial purchases, tallying acquisition figures of 16,000, 14,000, and 13,000 shares, respectively.
Today's market performance, marked by foreign investment dominance, not only reflects the growing appeal of Taiwan's technology sector but also signifies a strategic pivot towards innovative and future-ready segments of the market. This shift could potentially lead to a sustained period of growth and stability in the Taiwan stock market, with continued focus on sectors that promise expansion and advancement in line with global technological trends. The alignment of investment preferences among various types of investors—foreign, local dealers, and investment trusts—exemplifies a concerted belief in the potential of AI and PC-related industries, reinforcing today's bullish performance as a milestone for Taiwan's economic and technological landscape.
