Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 85 days.
The thesis — published November 16, 2025
TSM looks ready to rebound after a sharp pullback. Apple reserved over half of its 2nm chip capacity for 2026, signaling strong future demand. Bank of America kept its Buy rating, and October sales rose 16.9%. The price slipped below its recent average price, and there is more buying than usual. If the economy stays steady, a 0-3 month rebound toward prior highs is possible.
Primary drivers
- Apple locked over half of 2nm capacity for 2026, showing strong demand
- Pullback looks overdone; buyers returning with higher-than-usual activity
- AI and high-performance computing needs should keep chip orders strong
- Leaders can rise when top chip names hold up in a steady market
