Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 19 days.
The thesis — published September 4, 2025
TSMC's price has pulled back, but the company is strong and central to the boom in AI and powerful computing chips. Lots more people are buying than usual, and a well-known stock model gave it a perfect score. The stock is up 26 percent over 6 months. The main risk is that China export waivers could end. Even so, its key role in advanced chip supply could help the stock work back toward recent highs over the next 3 months.
Primary drivers
- Most advanced chip making pulls in heavy demand from AI and fast computing
- Solid profits and steady cash help it handle slowdowns and big projects
- Recent price pullback, yet investor mood remains positive and engaged
- Keeping a close eye on China export rules that could impact future sales
