Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 15 days.
The thesis — published December 31, 2025
This is a buy-on-pullback idea backed by big investors increasing holdings and a positive price signal. A Reuters report on 2025-12-31 says Nvidia asked TSMC to boost H200 chip production because China orders may top 2 million units, which points to steady factory demand. Main dangers are export approvals and volatile headlines, so don't chase the top.
Primary drivers
- Nvidia asked TSMC to increase H200 production, signaling demand
- Positive price action plus heavy institutional buying shows buyer interest
- Spending on AI infrastructure should keep chip demand strong
- Export approvals and geopolitical headlines can cause sudden drops
