Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 44 days.
The thesis — published December 28, 2025
TSM is the top maker of advanced chips that big tech needs for AI and data centers. Lots more people are buying than usual, and recent reports show four very wealthy investors own big stakes. New 2nm chips should cut power use by about 25-30%, which helps TSM keep customers and charge premium prices. Best approach is to buy if the price pulls back into the identified range for a likely short-term continuation.
Primary drivers
- Strong demand from AI and high-performance computing keeps factories busy
- Billionaire stakes signal long-term investor confidence
- More buying interest now increases short-term momentum
- 2nm chips cut power use ~25-30%, boosting pricing power
