On Thursday, US semiconductor giant Texas Instruments reported that the demand surge witnessed in April—driven by customers stockpiling inventory in anticipation of Trump's tariff policies—has since subsided. Consequently, the company's stock price plummeted by over 4%. Earlier, in a bid to sidestep the tariffs announced by the Trump administration on April 2, customers had opted to place advance orders, fueling robust demand from January through April. However, this growth trajectory saw a marked deceleration post-April.
