Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (ADR) (TSM) — closed signal from February 4, 2026
Target reached Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on May 5, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 20 days.
The thesis — published February 4, 2026
Demand for AI chips is creating shortages in parts of the semiconductor supply chain, making capacity at leading factories more valuable. That favors TSMC, but in the next 0-3 months the trade is to buy on dips rather than expect a steady climb. Prices can swing with sector mood, so enter gradually and only add if the stock stops falling.
Primary drivers
- AI demand is creating tighter supply for chip makers
- Top manufacturing gives TSMC a premium position
- Industry spending supports demand over a longer period
- Short-term sector selloffs can push the stock lower
How it played out
TSM: target reached in 20 days
Lyra published TSM at 338.20 on Feb 4, 2026, with 15% expected growth. The thesis pointed to artificial intelligence chip demand tightening supply, TSMC's top manufacturing position, longer-term industry spending, and the chance that short-term sector selloffs could push the stock lower.
Inside the Feb 4 to May 5 window, TSM reached the 388.93 target in 20 days. It later peaked at 414.50 on Apr 27, with a 22.6% peak gain. It ended at 394.41. The thesis played out. It got there, then stayed above the target at the close.
What happened during the window
On Feb 10, 2026, TSMC's board approved a $44.962 billion spending package for new fabs and upgrades. On Apr 17, 2026, TSMC reported first-quarter 2026 results and lifted its 2026 revenue guidance and capital spending toward the high end of its prior range.
