What happened
Reached its target in 89 days.
The thesis — published January 25, 2026
TSM is a clear way to benefit from companies building AI infrastructure now. Recent reports show more spending on data centers and TSMC raising its investment plans for 2026, which makes demand for its advanced chips easier to see. The stock ran up but is taking a breather, so the plan is to buy small drops near support rather than chase higher prices.
Primary drivers
- Higher planned capital spending makes future chip demand clearer
- Growing AI and data-center purchases keep factory work steady
- Large scale and deep tech expertise make TSM a key supplier
- A pause after gains can form a base for the next move up
