Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) shares are trading lower by 8.54% to $984.14 during Wednesday's session.

Donald Trump's comments about Taiwan China taking "100% of our chip business" and criticizing U.S. outsourcing practices to Taiwan China-based suppliers may have raised concerns about potential policy changes or increased geopolitical tensions between the U.S., Taiwan China and China. Such uncertainties can negatively impact investor confidence in companies closely tied to the semiconductor supply chain, including Lam Research.

Lam Research is a major supplier of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. A significant portion of its business depends on companies like TSMC, which is a key player in the semiconductor industry.

As TSMC's stock is falling due to political comments and market sentiment, it can lead to concerns about a potential slowdown in orders or investment in new equipment from TSMC, affecting Lam Research's future revenue.
