Target reached Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on October 22, 2025.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 61 days.
The thesis — published July 24, 2025
Sales jumped 36% last quarter and the company keeps 55 cents of every sales dollar as profit. Big AI customers have already booked its newest 3-nanometer factories through 2026. After a 10% pullback, the price is sitting near its recent average price. Possible work from Intel and attention at the August SEMICON event could bring more orders. At 23 times expected 2025 earnings, shares could revisit $260 soon.
Primary drivers
- Newest 3-nm factories are sold out until 2026, keeping prices firm.
- The $232-$236 range has already drawn stronger-than-normal buying.
- Intel may hire TSMC, showing how hard it is to match its lead.
- Lower spending frees cash, letting shares aim for the earlier $260 peak.
