Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 21 days.
The thesis — published January 21, 2026
TSMC makes chips that big tech companies need for AI and cloud computing. It stands to gain as data centers expand, but news about rivals can cause short-term price swings. The plan is to buy on modest declines over the next few months to build a position gradually while the semiconductor group stays strong.
Primary drivers
- More chip orders as companies build AI-focused data centers
- Being a top-scale, advanced maker draws steady investor interest
- Regular earnings and tech news keep investors watching the stock
- Buying in steps on pullbacks helps control risk and position size
