As global markets navigate shifting interest rates, energy demands, and the ongoing wave of AI-driven growth, several international stocks have emerged as standout opportunities in September. Here are the key names investors should keep an eye on, based on reporting from Investors.com, Barron’s, WSJ, and Reuters.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) broke past resistance at $248.28, closing at $250.92. The rally was fueled by surging demand for AI chips, with revenue this quarter projected at $32 billion and EPS of $2.60.
As the world’s largest contract chipmaker, TSMC remains a long-term cornerstone for investors seeking exposure to the AI revolution.
Teck Resources and Anglo American announced a $53 billion merger, creating one of the world’s largest copper producers. Shares of Teck jumped 11.3% and Anglo climbed 9.1% on the news.
With copper demand rising due to electrification and renewable energy projects, this merger signals strong long-term potential for both companies.
CVR Energy (CVI), controlled by billionaire Carl Icahn, surged 7.5% to $33.13 as refining margins widened.
Amid Middle East tensions and sustained global energy demand, CVR offers defensive exposure within the energy sector.

UnitedHealth (UNH): Gained 8.6% on optimism around Medicare.
Apple (AAPL): Fell 1.5% after unveiling the iPhone 17 Air, though it remains a core long-term holding.
This divergence highlights how market sentiment remains sensitive to corporate developments.
In India, Infosys jumped over 4% after announcing a share buyback plan, lifting the broader IT sector by 2.3%. With India increasingly seen as a global supply chain alternative, Infosys offers exposure to fast-growing emerging markets.
