Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 43% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 2, 2025
TSMC is a top maker of advanced chips for AI. The stock's trend is up, the recent average price is rising, and there has been lots more buying than usual. A big rally in chip stocks added over $200B in value this week, showing strong interest in the AI supply chain. Because the business is sturdy, pullbacks may be smaller than for rivals. It's wiser to buy dips as AI server demand and factory spending support orders in the next 3 months.
Primary drivers
- Leading chip maker for AI with size and experience that lower costs
- Upward price trend backed by heavier-than-usual trading activity
- Recent chip rally is drawing fresh investor money to top names
- Strong finances and execution may limit how much the stock pulls back
