Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published September 10, 2025
TSMC makes chips that power AI and high-performance computers, and big tech firms keep sending steady orders. The stock has been strong lately but looks a bit heated, so buying in steps makes sense. Market mood improved after a cooler inflation report and a strong move in Oracle, pointing to heavy computing demand. Buying near the lower end of its recent range aims to ride firm backlogs and pricing over the next 0-3 months.
Primary drivers
- The share price has been rising steadily, showing strong upward momentum
- A key chip supplier for the largest companies building advanced AI systems
- A cooler inflation report helps investors value fast-growing firms higher
- Oracle's strong move suggests heavy demand for data center computing power
How it played out
TSM: target stayed out of reach
Lyra published TSM on 2025-09-10 at 258.38 with 22% expected growth. The thesis pointed to steady orders for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing chips, recent share-price momentum, a cooler inflation report, Oracle's strong move, firm backlogs, and pricing over the next 0-3 months.
Inside the 2025-09-10 to 2025-12-09 window, TSM rose to a 310.53 peak on 2025-10-16, a 20.2% gain. It stayed below the 313.38 target and ended at 302.59. The thesis mostly played out, but it missed the full target.
