What happened
Reached its target in 76 days.
The thesis — published February 7, 2026
TSMC is a top supplier for chips used in AI, so demand can stay strong. But after a big move up, some reports say it might need to rest first. That means this is a disciplined buy setup: look for prices to dip into the zone and then stabilize before adding, rather than trying to buy while it's still running.
Primary drivers
- Strong AI demand should keep factory utilization high
- Debate over price levels can cause a pause and better buying chances
- Industry-wide strength may limit how deep pullbacks go
- Waiting for price stability reduces the chance of getting shaken out
How it played out
TSM: target reached in 76 days

The thesis pointed to strong demand for chips used in artificial intelligence, high factory use, industry-wide strength, and a possible pause after a big move. It also called for discipline, with the 332 to 352 entry zone meant to avoid chasing the stock.
