What happened
Reached its target in 90 days.
The thesis — published January 24, 2026
TSM is a top supplier of the chips many companies need for AI, phones, and high-performance computing. This week Nvidia became its biggest customer, and Intel's troubles make TSM's position stronger. The stock has moved up a lot, so the short-term plan is to buy during dips rather than after sharp spikes. News and geopolitics can make the price swing.
Primary drivers
- Nvidia as the largest customer boosts steady demand for wafers
- Competitor execution problems help TSM gain more business
- Leading manufacturing at advanced chip sizes helps keep margins
- Investor interest in chip stocks keeps attention and capital flowing
