Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 62 days.
The thesis — published November 14, 2025
TSM is a key maker behind AI chips, with solid finances and a positive outlook. The price has dropped a lot, which can offer a better entry. A major supplier said demand for AI chip tools is stronger than expected, hinting at more factory runs. Even if near-term trend signals look weak, buying in small steps and adding after a clear turn aims to cut timing risk and catch a possible 3-month rebound as orders and capacity increase.
Primary drivers
- Leads in making the most advanced chips used for AI and high-power computing
- Big recent price drop may offer a better entry with gains outweighing risk
- Supplier outlook points to stronger-than-expected demand from chipmakers
- Buying in steps helps reduce risk from weak short-term price signals
