Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) Arizona factory&#8217;s substantial losses reflect the repercussions of Washington&#8217;s attempt to restructure global <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductor" rel="noreferrer noopener">semiconductor supply chains</a> through political intervention.
The chipmaker&#8217;s Arizona facility incurred a loss of ~14.3 billion New Taiwan dollars ($441 million) in 2024, marking the most significant loss since its establishment, Global Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202504/1332568.shtml" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>, citing Economic Daily News, the contract chipmaker&#8217;s latest annual general meeting report.
Contrastingly, the chipmaker&#8217;s factory in Nanjing, East China&#8217;s Jiangsu Province, reported 2024 revenue of nearly ~$26 billion New Taiwan dollars ($800 million).

While the U.S. excels in chip design, it lags behind Asia, especially East Asia.
The Arizona factory hugely depends on importing key components and raw materials, which drives logistics costs and extends the supply cycle. Additionally, high labor costs in the U.S. further inflate per-unit labor expenses.
Taiwan Semiconductor founder Morris Chang estimated in March 2023 that chip costs in Arizona were 50% higher than its flagship production line in Taiwan. Contrastingly, the Nanjing facility benefits from China&#8217;s efficient and stable industrial ecosystem, the report said.
In March, Taiwan Semiconductor <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44895326/taiwan-semiconductor-confronts-challenges-of-us-chips-sanction-on-china" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced&nbsp;an additional</a> $100 billion&nbsp;investment&nbsp;in U.S. chipmaking (on top of its $65 billion in April 2024).
The investment followed&nbsp;President Donald Trump&#8217;s verbal attacks&nbsp;on Taiwan &#8220;for stealing&#8221; the U.S. semiconductor business and generating massive trade deficits for Washington.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s&nbsp;first-quarter revenue&nbsp;rose 41.6% to $25.53 billion, topping the analyst consensus estimate of $23.92 billion.
The second-quarter revenue guidance predicts $28.4 billion-$29.2 billion versus the $26.79&nbsp;billion analyst estimate, with strong demand for 3-nm and 5-nm technologies.
Price Action:&nbsp;At the last check on Tuesday, TSM stock was up 2.17% to $151.08.

Bitcoin has been called many things: a revolution, a bubble, a hedge, a hoax. In 2025, the debate is still raging. But as inflation resurges through global tariff wars and currency instability, a more important question is surfacing: Is Bitcoin finally proving its worth—or is it still too volatile to be trusted?
For smart investors, the answer lies not in headlines but in fundamentals. It&#8217;s time to reassess what Bitcoin actually is, what it offers, and where it fits in a modern portfolio.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin and the Inflation Equation</h3>
With inflation climbing again—fueled in part by import tariffs and ongoing global supply chain friction—investors are seeking ways to preserve their purchasing power. Traditionally, that meant shifting into assets like gold, commodities, or real estate. But Bitcoin's fixed supply and decentralized structure continue to draw comparisons to gold, especially among younger and more digitally native investors.
The pitch is simple: gold is physical scarcity; Bitcoin is digital scarcity.
But does it hold up?
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin vs. Gold: A New Kind of Store of Value?</h3>
Let's look at the numbers. Since its inception, Bitcoin has dramatically outperformed gold in total returns. But that performance has come with massive volatility. In 2022, Bitcoin fell nearly 65%, only to rally in 2023 and gain broader institutional attention in 2024.
As of mid-2025, Bitcoin&#8217;s price movements have moderated somewhat, but it&#8217;s still far from stable. That raises the question: Can something so volatile really be a safe haven?
In truth, Bitcoin isn't replacing gold—it&#8217;s offering an alternative store of value for a digital era. Unlike gold, Bitcoin can be transferred instantly, divided infinitely, and stored with zero physical footprint.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Institutional Confidence Is Building</h3>
What sets 2025 apart from Bitcoin cycles of the past is the growing institutional infrastructure supporting it:
<ul>
<li>ETFs from firms like BlackRock and Fidelity have normalized exposure</li>
<li>Custody solutions and insurance coverage have improved dramatically</li>
<li>Governments (even skeptics) are creating clearer regulatory frameworks</li>
</ul>
This institutional support doesn't just add legitimacy—it reduces friction. And for wealth managers seeking diversified inflation hedges, Bitcoin is becoming harder to ignore.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Where Bitcoin Fits in a Portfolio</h3>
Here's the key: Bitcoin isn't an all-or-nothing bet. The smartest investors in 2025 aren't allocating 50% of their portfolio to crypto. They&#8217;re treating Bitcoin as a non-correlated, asymmetric asset with long-term upside and a high risk tolerance.
Typical allocations range from 1% to 5% for most balanced portfolios—enough to benefit from growth, without jeopardizing stability.
The strategic value of Bitcoin lies in its blend of:
<ul>
<li>Scarcity (capped at 21 million)</li>
<li>Decentralization (immune to central bank policy)</li>
<li>Portability (cross-border liquidity)</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What to Watch Going Forward</h3>
<ul>
<li>Macroeconomic shifts: Rising inflation or currency devaluation could drive more capital into Bitcoin</li>
<li>Regulatory moves: Clarity (especially in the U.S. and EU) may spark greater adoption</li>
<li>Technological improvements: Layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network are improving transaction speed and cost</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thought: A Hedge, Not a Hero</h3>
Bitcoin isn't perfect. It's not a miracle cure for inflation or a replacement for traditional assets. But in 2025, it's becoming harder to call it irrelevant.
For investors looking to hedge against uncertainty while participating in digital innovation, Bitcoin offers a compelling case, not as a replacement for gold, but as a complement.
It might not be foolproof. But it's also not fool's gold.

Billionaire investor John Paulson and NovaGold Resources, Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NG#AMEX">NG</a>) have agreed to purchase a significant stake in the Donlin Gold project in Alaska. Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) will sell its entire 50% interest in the project <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44927342/novagold-partners-inks-deal-with-barrick-gold-boosts-stake-in-donlin-project-for-1-billion">for $1 billion in cash.</a>
The Details: Novagold will purchase a 10% stake in Donlin Gold for $200 million, raising its ownership to 60% from 50%.
Paulson &amp; Co. will acquire the remaining 40% for $800 million, becoming a full and equal partner in managing the Donlin Gold project.
The Donlin Gold Project is a planned mining operation located in Alaska, with estimated gold reserves of approximately 39 million ounces — making it one of the world's largest undeveloped gold deposits.

Paulson, who has several notable investments in gold miners, called Donlin Gold "one of the most attractive development gold projects in the world."&nbsp;
"With 39 million ounces of gold at double the industry average grade, and an optimal location in the prime jurisdiction of Alaska — already the second largest gold-producing state in the United States — we believe that the project could create value for decades to come," Paulson added.&nbsp;
Paulson's Gold Miners: The billionaire investor's hedge fund Paulson &amp; Co. also holds a 37% stake in International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/THM#AMEX">THM</a>) and a $264.3 million stake in Perpetua Resources Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPTA#NASDAQ">PPTA</a>).

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAG#NYSE">IAG</a>) round out the remainder of the firm&#8217;s miner holdings. 
Paulson has been building his miners portfolio for many years and is well-positioned to benefit from the soaring price of gold.&nbsp;
Gold Rally: Gold has surged more than 30% in 2025, reaching $3,490 per ounce on Tuesday and setting a new record high price. 
In fact, Monday's 3%-plus gold rally was the fifth time in the past 10 trading days that gold climbed at least 2% in a single day. The only periods that experienced a higher frequency of 2%-plus daily moves in the past 50 years were in January and June 1980, according to Bespoke Investment Group.

Barclays Maintains Overweight on Red Rock Resorts, Lowers Price Target to $54

Volatility and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariffs</a> are still capturing headlines and sending markets into a tailspin.
For one group of stocks, that&#8217;s been an enormous boon. Last week&#8217;s big bank earnings showed how market volatility led to a surge in stock trading, which massively boosted revenues for some big banks.
Here are four banks set to weather this volatility through strong earnings, healthy dividends and robust fundamentals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan Chase and Co.</h2>
The largest bank in the United States, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), reported earnings on April 11 and posted better-than-expected top and bottom-line results. Revenue came in at $46.01 billion, handily beating the consensus expectation of $44.11. Earnings per share were $5.07, a beat of $0.44 over the consensus estimate of $4.63 per share. Despite CEO Jamie Dimon's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44717888/jpmorgan-jamie-dimon-warns-recession-now-likely-outcome">warnings</a> about the state of the broader economy, JPMorgan Chase's earnings showcased strength throughout numerous divisions, especially in equities trading. Trading revenue tallied $3.8 billion, up 48% from the previous quarter and exceeding estimates by more than $500 million.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfYHIK2ui6lToVjJ2ZGw9zmAO-SnGCmvgF-4mFR0f9QksGW59JPJK2-6lLihKAQGxDOsP7pgYVVQaDGN7ZIrAUAjUr0ZrwfNGd9sji0HIl2jcbZGu_Or7Uxof8FwkpcGy2_KeicnQ?key=9zg1RvXLtlcToUFhHP-r9JNo" alt="" /></figure>
JPM&#8217;s underlying strength boosts these strong earnings figures. The stock has an 11.27 Price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, which is cheaper than that of competitors like Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs despite JPM's higher profit margins. It also pays a 2.44% yield with a 27% dividend payout rate (DPR), and the company has increased its payout annually for 15 consecutive years. One potential area of concern resides at the 200-day moving average, which could become a new resistance level if momentum fades. If the share price can sustainably break through this level, a resumption of the uptrend could follow.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bank of America Corp.&nbsp;</h2>
Another large bank to post an impressive earnings beat was Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) which reported on April 15 and beat estimates on both earnings and revenue. Like his rival Dimon, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan echoed concern about what he's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44829134/bank-of-america-ceo-says-consumers-are-resilient-while-business-owners-worried-as-we-face-a-changing-economy">hearing from business owners</a>, but also pointed to consumer resilience and growth from their business clients as reasons for strong quarterly earnings. The beat was narrower than JPM, with revenue of $27.51 billion compared to the expected $26.99 billion and earnings of 90 cents per share versus the expected 82 cents. However, the stock rose 4% following the earnings release as revenue was boosted by both equities trading and net interest income (NII). Both the $2.2 billion in trading revenue and the $3.5 billion in fixed income revenue exceeded estimates, offsetting the declines in investment banking fees.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXenISL3NobmQfOlsorQbqcKt4FrCalETBJDrsSooGc7sgzn_R0Yoy6kk1CABCAxXQUrvHXH64IeV7LZXOuey7xZnWnWkhjVvEvJwlr8qz1kXiOkYleu7-bvys0ACwBvHligcY75_w?key=9zg1RvXLtlcToUFhHP-r9JNo" alt="" /></figure>
BAC shares were finally closing in on their 2022 high before tariff uncertainty began spooking markets, and the stock recently made the dreaded ‘death cross' on the daily chart as the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average. But there are fundamental reasons to believe the technical signal is a false alarm. Bank of America trades at just 10.2 times forward earnings, making its stock cheaper than most of its large bank competitors, such as JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs. The stock also pays a 2.79% dividend yield with a 31% DPR, and an 11-year history of annual dividend increases. Analysts are also bullish, with a consensus Buy rating and an average price target of $45.52, based on 25 reports compiled by Benzinga.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Synovus Financial Corp.&nbsp;</h2>
Mega banks weren't the only companies producing strong earnings. Synovus Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNV#NYSE">SNV</a>) is a smaller regional bank with services primarily located in the southern United States, in states such as Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The bank has a market capitalization of just under $6 billion and generated $2.01 billion in annual sales last year. In its April 17 earnings release for Q1 2025, Synovus Financial posted top and bottom-line beats, including an impressive $1.30 EPS report versus the expected $1.10, a 16% upside surprise. The bank's $571 million in quarterly revenue also beat expectations, boosted by an expansion of net interest margin (NIM) and interest income of $454 million.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeFgoYPNw-Uitdz6wLMeUhXXy3tyvBOhSi84cYZSeOoIxC8BluaGyu7UUVigE287sNjOQglXp84d71vULPFkbaq2yWC9hrevr_-euGYYKM3rAvZlsoA9y8POYpaHOevnqdmnYhShQ?key=9zg1RvXLtlcToUFhHP-r9JNo" alt="" /></figure>
SNV's stock has been on quite the rollercoaster over the last decade. Shares hit an all-time high near $60 in June 2018 before collapsing to under $15 per share during the COVID-19 pandemic. The stock finally rebounded near its all-time high in Q4 2024, before this recent dip. The company's earnings and fundamentals suggest a stock with potential. The stock trades at just 8.7 times forward earnings, which is cheaper than its regional bank peers, such as Citizens Financial Group and Cadence Bank. The company has also grown its revenue by nearly 19% year over year (YoY) and pays a dividend yield of 3.85%. Like BAC, investors must be wary of the ‘Death Cross' formed by the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, but the uplifting earnings report could make this another false signal.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Citigroup Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) is often the whipping boy in the financial services sector, but its recent earnings report revealed nothing worth deriding. The bank reported $21.6 billion in quarterly revenue and $1.96 EPS, both numbers easily surpassing analysts&#8217; estimates. One of the more impressive numbers on the report was the $1.5 billion in equity trading revenue, a 23% increase from the previous quarter. The stock jumped 3% following the April 15 report, which also included full-year guidance estimates of $83.1 to $84.1 billion.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXex45eas7L5SPW_guCNF_5j66f3b4K6Oh9teQkVTqIt95wSa566hommyfbsSDbNbBq1Q_fr5djCLr5lRdpPrHYZ9oxwldRf65bWwqk_15Eh9uu_NgoI79R9nNJapaBFakbqM21eQg?key=9zg1RvXLtlcToUFhHP-r9JNo" alt="" /></figure>
Citigroup is still cheap to own compared to its large-cap peers, despite its earnings success and high 3.54% dividend yield. The stock has a P/E ratio of just 9.81, a Price-to-Book (P/B) value of 0.61, and trades at 8.6 times forward earnings, making it more affordable than JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo. The stock recently triggered an oversold signal on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) too, indicating that the underlying uptrend could be close to resuming its march.
