Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 38 days.
The thesis — published April 24, 2026
TSMC benefits from strong demand for advanced chips and recent positive news from record highs and easier Taiwan fund flows, which can keep big investors interested short-term. The stock has already risen a lot, so the potential reward looks better if the price pulls back some instead of chasing higher levels now.
Primary drivers
- Strong demand for chips used in AI and data centers
- Easier Taiwan fund flows can steady institutional buying
- New highs show leadership but the run is extended
- A modest pullback would make upside vs. downside more attractive
How it played out
TSM: target reached in 38 days
On April 24, Lyra published a short-term thesis at 399.85, with 10% expected growth and a 439.03 target. The thesis pointed to strong demand for advanced chips used in artificial intelligence and data centers, easier Taiwan fund flows, institutional interest, and new highs. It also said the run was extended and that a pullback into the 384.58 to 393.55 entry zone offered a better setup.
The target was reached in 38 days. TSM later peaked at 479 on June 30, a 19.8% gain, before ending the window at 415.58 on July 23. The published upside thesis played out, although the stock finished below the target after reaching it.
