Target reached Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on March 14, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 32 days.
The thesis — published December 14, 2025
TSM looks likely to bounce in the next 0-3 months after a recent drop pushed short-term momentum very low while the bigger trend stays positive. Recent news - Nvidia may make more H200 chips and Rivian will have TSMC build its autonomy chips - supports steady demand. Expect quick rebounds but be ready for sudden price swings from export-control headlines.
Primary drivers
- Clear demand from major AI and auto customers
- Large manufacturing scale gives pricing and supply advantages
- Recently very oversold versus longer-term uptrend
- Positive market sentiment, but export headlines can spike volatility
