What happened
Reached its target in 65 days.
The thesis — published December 7, 2025
TSMC makes the advanced chips that power big tech and AI. Recent results show sales more than doubled compared to last year pace in some areas and profit rose strongly, which supports demand for its factories. Shares have risen fast, so the idea is to buy small amounts on minor pullbacks rather than after big up moves to aim for near-term gains.
Primary drivers
- World leader in making advanced chips for AI, phones and high-performance systems.
- Reported sales more than doubled compared to last year and profits rose sharply.
- Strong financial and market sentiment scores back its core-holding status.
- Positive technical trend and rising recent average price support continued strength.
