Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 64 days.
The thesis — published November 12, 2025
TSMC makes cutting-edge chips for many top customers. The stock looks beaten down, while long-term demand from AI and powerful data centers stays strong. Reports say Nvidia has about $300B in chip orders, likely keeping TSMC's newest factories busy for many quarters. In a healthy market, consider starting near $288-$295 and add only if price and trading interest improve. Main risks: chip ups and downs, export limits, and geopolitics.
Primary drivers
- The stock looks beaten down, with early signs that the setup is improving.
- AI and powerful data center chips should keep TSMC's most advanced lines busy.
- Reports on Nvidia's very large orders point to a strong pipeline ahead.
- A more supportive overall market can help the share price recover.
