GS Johnstone GS TMT SPEC SALES TSMC Terafab talks; DSY read from Schneider; BT acquires TalkTalk; DT AI CMD; AI Credit; Q3 semis preview 5 Oct 2026

Goldman Sachs TMT Specialist Sales highlights TSMC's talks regarding the Texas Terafab project, Schneider Electric's $23.7bn acquisition of PTC, and BT's acquisition of TalkTalk. The note also examines rising credit market implications from AI debt supply, and previews constructive Q3 semiconductor earnings setups.

In this daily update, Sean Johnstone outlines major corporate and macro developments across TMT. TSMC reached record highs amid discussions over Elon Musk's Texas Terafab project, while M&A in Europe headlined by Schneider Electric's $23.7bn purchase of PTC puts pressure on Dassault Systèmes, and BT acquired TalkTalk out of administration for a c.£400m cash impact. GS Research remains positive on semiconductors heading into Q3 earnings following the SOX pullback, preferring AMAT, STX, and MCHP. Concurrently, Adam Crook notes that massive AI capex is driving hundreds of billions in debt issuance, threatening to keep long-end bond yields structurally elevated and making hyperscaler revenue monetization crucial.
