Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TSM) — closed signal from January 23, 2026
Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on April 23, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 61% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published January 23, 2026
TSM looks like a good buy for the next 0 to 3 months because demand for AI chips is steady and factories are busy. Reports linking China platform demand to big Nvidia orders mean factories should keep running at high levels. Many retail buyers often buy on dips, helping quick rebounds. Use staged buying near support because drops can be sudden and deep.
Primary drivers
- Strong demand for AI chips keeps factory usage high
- China order headlines can lift the whole AI chip group
- Retail buying after drops can speed up recoveries
- Buying in stages reduces the chance of buying into a deeper selloff
How it played out
TSM: thesis partly played out, target was not reached
Lyra published TSM at 332.94 on 2026-01-23 with expected growth of 28%. The thesis pointed to steady demand for artificial intelligence chips, busy factories, China order headlines tied to Nvidia, retail buying after drops, and staged buying near support because declines could be sudden and deep.
Inside the 2026-01-23 to 2026-04-23 window, TSM rose to 390.21 on 2026-02-25. That was a 17.2% peak gain, but it stayed below the 426.16 target. It ended at 382.66. The thesis partly played out because the stock rose, but the target was never reached.
