Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 96% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published November 5, 2025
TSMC dropped with the rest of chip stocks this week, wiping out about $500B across the group. That slide looks overdone for a high-quality leader that makes the most advanced chips for AI and high-performance computing. With strong business basics and upbeat investor interest, the price could move back toward its recent range next quarter as fear cools and trading steadies, offering an against-the-crowd entry.
Primary drivers
- Very oversold reading suggests a careful, against-the-crowd entry point
- Leads in building tiny, fast chips used in AI and high-performance computing
- Chip stocks fell worldwide this week, resetting prices to more affordable levels
- Strong sales, profits, and cash strength could help the share price recover
How it played out
TSM: peak stayed below the target
Lyra published TSM at $295 on 2025-11-05 with expected growth of 20%. The thesis pointed to an oversold reading after a chip-stock selloff, TSMC's role in advanced chips for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, strong sales, profits, and cash strength, and a possible recovery as fear cooled.
Inside the window, the stock rose to $351.33 on 2026-01-15, a 19.1% peak gain. That stayed below the $353.05 target, so it never got there. It ended at $335.75 on 2026-02-03. The thesis mostly played out, but it missed the stated target.
What happened during the window
On 2026-01-15, TSMC reported fourth-quarter revenue of $33.73 billion and earnings of $3.14 per U.S. share. The same report said TSMC expected first-quarter revenue of $34.6 billion to $35.8 billion.
