Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 20 days.
The thesis — published December 16, 2025
TSM looks positioned for a short-term rebound inside a longer AI-driven uptrend. Key signals show it is very oversold while momentum trends stay positive. Recent reports say demand for advanced chips is stronger than supply and TSM looks cheaper than a peer, which may bring more buying. Because price swings are larger, add in stages instead of buying all at once.
Primary drivers
- Stronger-than-expected demand for advanced chips
- Very oversold now, so a likely short rebound
- Seen as cheaper than a peer, which can attract buyers
- Market leadership could recover quickly if risk appetite returns
