What happened
Reached its target in 37 days.
The thesis — published December 9, 2025
TSM makes the chips that power AI and is selling a lot more than it did last year while keeping very healthy profits. Recent news shows strong sales and margins even as it spends on factories abroad. The stock has run up fast, so it's sensible to wait for small pullbacks to get a better price for a three-month trade.
Primary drivers
- Leader in making chips for AI with rising sales and profits.
- Investor sentiment stays strong despite a big recent run.
- Recent reports show much higher quarter sales and strong margins.
- Less export friction and big AI orders help future growth.
