Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 26 days.
The thesis — published September 6, 2025
TSM makes the chips behind AI, phones, and cars, and demand for its most advanced work is rising. Many more buyers than usual are stepping in, which supports recent price strength. A key supplier, ASML, just got a positive call from UBS, easing worries about equipment. Nvidia's CEO said companies may spend $3-4 trillion on AI. If the price dips toward its recent average, that could be a buying chance for the next few months.
Primary drivers
- Big AI spending plans are boosting demand for TSM's most advanced chips
- More buyers than usual signal broad support for the current price strength
- UBS praised supplier ASML, easing concerns about key manufacturing equipment
- The stock has led gains while the overall market backdrop remains supportive
