Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 50 days.
The thesis — published April 29, 2026
TSM just reported a very strong quarter and raised its outlook, pushing the stock to new highs. Demand for chips tied to AI and strong profit margins explain the positive results. A healthy balance sheet and solid earnings make the setup attractive, but the recent jump means the stock has less room to be a bargain right now.
Primary drivers
- Growing orders from AI-related chip customers drive revenue expansion
- A higher company outlook makes future sales and profits clearer
- Healthy profit margins and cash on the balance sheet support stability
- Price action shows strength backed by higher-than-normal buying
