What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published October 25, 2025
TSMC's price looks worn down, and common signs suggest it may be turning up. Recent 6G test approval with EMTAR highlights that TSMC is still leading beyond today's AI boom. More chip makers are improving, which helps. In a friendly market, buying near the lower end of its recent range can work, and the odds improve if the price climbs back above the prior ceiling near $305, which would hint that a more durable upswing has started.
Primary drivers
- The stock looks beaten down, so a bounce soon could offer a fair payoff.
- New 6G test approval with EMTAR shows TSMC stays ahead in key chip tech.
- Strong business basics, with AI and 6G trends likely to boost demand.
- More chip stocks are firming up as the market improves, aiding momentum.
How it played out
TSM: strong rise, but the target was not reached
Lyra published TSM at $294.17 on 2025-10-25 with an expected 22% short-term rise. The thesis pointed to a worn-down price, a possible turn higher, 6G test approval with EMTAR, demand tied to artificial intelligence and 6G, and firmer chip stocks in a friendly market.
Inside the window, TSM rose as much as 19.4% and peaked at $351.33 on 2026-01-15. That stayed below the $357.92 target. It never got there. By 2026-01-23, the stock ended at $334.87. The thesis partly played out, but the published target was missed.
What happened during the window
On 2026-01-09, TSMC reported 2025 revenue of 3.8 trillion Taiwan dollars and said full results were due on 2026-01-15. On 2026-01-15, TSMC reported fourth-quarter revenue of 1.04 trillion Taiwan dollars and net profit of 505.744 billion Taiwan dollars.
