Warren Buffet Akhirnya Lirik Saham TSMC, Tergiur Profit Besar Di Mobil Autonom Dan Listrik

JAKARTA - The Berkshire Hathaway investment company owned by Warren Buffett has just purchased more than US$4.1 billion worth IDR 64.3 trillion in shares in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).

Monday 14 November, in a filing to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Berkshire Hathaway said it had acquired about 60 million TSMC storage shares in the three months ended September.

"TSMC welcomes all investors with a tendency to buy and detain TSMC shares," a TSMC spokesperson said.

This event is a rare thing into the technology sector by billionaire Buffett. Because, Berkshire usually doesn't make big tech bets, it often prefers companies that it thinks have competitive advantages, often through its size.

Fortune stated that 92-year-old Buffett has long moved away from the tech industry, stating that he does not want to invest in businesses that he does not fully understand. However, that establishment has changed in recent years, and he has dedicated most of his company's investments to the technology sector.

By buying TSMC shares, this is one segment that promises sustainable growth over the coming years as it is essential to the expansion of the nascent industry such as self-driving cars and electricity, artificial intelligence, and connected home applications.

Berkshire itself also owns large shares in Apple, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, Chevron, and American Express.

It is known, one of the world's largest chipmakers, as its name is based in Taiwan and accounts for about 90 percent of super advanced computer chips, supplying tech giants including Apple, Qualcomm and Nvidia.

According to CNN International, the purchase of shares by Berkshire comes as tensions between China and the self-ruled democracy escalate.

Taiwan has faced escalating military aggression from Beijing in recent months, and it highlights the important role it plays in the global chip manufacturing industry.
