**BREAKING: DBS Flags Peak of Taiwan AI Supercycle as 2H26 Outlook Faces Headwinds**
DBS Group Research has issued a critical assessment of Taiwan’s AI-driven economic expansion, warning that the AI supercycle supporting the island’s technology sector is approaching its peak. Lead analyst Ma Tieying outlined concerns about the sustainability of Taiwan’s current growth trajectory heading into the second half of 2026.
Taiwan’s economy has become heavily dependent on AI-related technology exports and semiconductor manufacturing tied to artificial intelligence applications. DBS notes that while AI remains the central pillar of Taiwan’s tech-focused economy, momentum indicators suggest the extraordinary growth phase may be maturing faster than previously anticipated.
The warning carries significant implications for Taiwan’s equity markets, particularly semiconductor stocks and tech-heavy indices. Traders should anticipate potential volatility in Taiwan-listed chipmakers and related supply chain companies as the sector transitions from peak expansion.
