After 30 years, the Taiwan stock market has returned to 12,000 points. Compared with 30 years ago, the main control of the stock market, the frenzied investment of retail investors, and the collapse of the Taiwan stock market on the eve of the bubble, this time is controlled by TSMC, Largan, and MediaTek. Value stock leader, given the company's fundamentals and outstanding performance, this time the top 10,000 is more solid, and it has a better chance to maintain above 12,000 points. Looking back on the past year, as soon as the market opened on 02/11 in the Year of the Pig, the market broke through ten thousand points, not afraid of the demon of "don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just in case". Up to twelve thousand points.

We have compiled the performance of each major industry in the past year and In comparison, when Taiwan stocks rose by 21.36%, which industries led Taiwan stocks to rise, and which industries were lagging behind the broader market.
This year has been a very prosperous year for Taiwan stocks. There are 26 industry indexes that have risen, while only 6 industry indexes have fallen. The increase rate exceeded the market by 21.36%, 10 of them, and the increase rate was less than that of the market’s 22. The reason for this is that electronic stocks and semiconductor-related stocks have performed well this year, and these stocks are heavily weighted in the weighted index, which has further boosted the rising trend of Taiwan stocks.
The biggest gainers were auto stocks, which rose 69.58% for the year. The reason was that Toyota and Lexus Taiwan's agent Hetai Motors (2207) had super performance.

From the global wafer foundry TSMC (2330), its share price rose 112 points to 333, an increase of 50.67% for the year. TSMC's 7nm production capacity is fully loaded, and 5G demand has skyrocketed. , AI chip increments and other bullish gains have repeatedly pushed up the stock price; UMC (2303) and World Advanced (5347) have also increased by 41.4% and 18.5% respectively due to order spillover effects and good fundamentals. Another semiconductor club site is the IC design group led by MediaTek (2454). MediaTek was able to gain 72.4% year-on-year growth due to factors such as the release of 5G chips; Netcom chip maker Realtek (2379) rose 66.13% throughout the year. 260 points; panel control chip Novatek (3034) also gained 46%; IC Service Factory Creative (3443) also gained 31.3%. There are also many IC design factories in Taiwan that have excellent performance, and they are all outstanding in various ICs. Together, these semiconductor companies have increased the semiconductor index by 49.54%.
The biggest drop was the glass ceramic index, which fell by 10.29%. The reason was that related stocks including Taiwan Glass (1802) and Caesars Guardian (1817) generally underperformed. In particular, Taiwan Glass’s 13.4% drop was not deep, but it was also due to the Higher values have led to a decline in glass ceramics.
The coefficient of variation (index standard deviation/average index) is highest for auto stocks, which shows that auto stock indexes have large changes and volatility. In the past year, investors who can bear higher risks can also make relatively good profits. .
