TSMC Slumps 6.41% Despite 114.25% Volume Surge to $6.59B 14th in U.S. Turnover

On October 10, 2025, TSMC (TSM) closed with a 6.41% decline, despite a 114.25% surge in trading volume to $6.59 billion, ranking 14th among U.S. stocks by turnover. The drop followed a combination of market sentiment shifts and technical pressures, with no material news directly tied to the semiconductor manufacturer’s operations or financial guidance during the session.

Analysts observed that the selloff aligned with broader sector rotation, as investors adjusted positions ahead of quarterly earnings reports from key clients. While TSMC’s business fundamentals remain stable with strong order backlogs, short-term volatility reflected macroeconomic uncertainties and profit-taking after recent gains. No regulatory updates, supply chain disruptions, or product roadmap revisions were reported to influence the stock’s trajectory.

Back-testing of a volume-weighted strategy involving the top 500 U.S. equities by daily turnover requires clarifying parameters: asset universe, weighting methodology, execution timing, and data-handling approaches. A synthetic equal-weighted index of the 500 names will be constructed for testing, with execution modeled on open-to-close returns. Confirmation of these parameters is needed to finalize the strategy’s design and output metrics.
