Taiwan dethrones Korea as top AI trade on supply-chain breadth
TechNews reports Taiwan's weighted index beat Korea's KOSPI by 23 percentage points in July–September, the widest gap since the early 2000s, with year-to-date returns of about 72% versus 65%. A September Bank of America fund manager survey found nearly 40% of respondents overweight Taiwan versus 25% for Korea, and 35% see Taiwan as the main beneficiary of the next AI cycle against just 5% for Korea. M&G Investments portfolio manager Vikas Pershad said Taiwan's earnings growth comes from volume expansion and is therefore broader-based, while Korea's upgrades are concentrated in price factors and rely heavily on Samsung and SK Hynix.
Why it matters: AI investment is broadening from a single memory upcycle toward a fuller supply chain, and how capital reallocates across Asian tech will shape the next phase of AI hardware spending.

今年全球股市已進入關鍵收官階段,台灣 AI 交易熱潮地位持續升溫,並超越韓國,成為市場眼中更具吸引力的 AI 受惠標的。最新市場表現顯示,台灣股市今年漲勢不僅領先亞洲主要市場,也在全球主要股市居前段班,反映資金對台灣科技產業鏈的信心明顯升高。
市場觀察,台灣加權指數7~9月表現比韓國KOSPI高23個百分點,創本世紀初以來最大差距。若拉長至今年,台股累計報酬約達72%,超越KOSPI 65%漲幅,成為全球表現最強股市之一。韓股雖一度因AI題材受追捧,但近期漲勢又落後。
法人認為,台灣之所以脫穎而出,關鍵在橫跨AI供應鏈的完整布局,從晶片設計、製造、封裝,到網通與伺服器皆具優勢,讓獲利成長來源更廣、更具延續性。M&G Investments投資組合經理Vikas Pershad指出,台灣獲利成長來自出貨量擴張,因此基礎更廣、黏著度也更高;反觀韓國獲利上修,多集中價格因素,且市場高度依賴三星與SK海力士兩大記憶體廠。
市場對台灣的偏好也反映至資金配置。9月美國銀行的基金經理調查,近40%受訪者將台灣列為「加碼」區,高於韓國25%;另有35%認為台灣將是下波AI循環的主要受惠者,韓國僅5%。獲利預估方面,台灣企業上修幅度是2025年3月以來首次超越韓國同業。
分析人士指出,韓股雖因AI題材與記憶體景氣回升而大幅走高,但外界開始質疑這波記憶體上行週期還能延續多久。台灣AI供應鏈的角色更分散、產業結構更完整,加上企業獲利展望持續改善,在全球AI投資版圖的吸引力更提升不少。
