Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 29 days.
The thesis — published August 25, 2025
TSMC looks like a strong company at a fair entry price. The stock appears beaten down versus its recent average, and buying interest seems to be improving. The company is swapping out China-linked equipment at advanced plants, which should lower political risk. Talk of possible US stakes in chip firms could bring in more investor money. With leading AI chip capacity, the market could value it higher over the next three months.
Primary drivers
- Price looks beaten down versus its recent average, offering a bargain
- Top-tier chip making for AI, with scarce capacity in high demand
- Replacing China-linked gear lowers political and supply-chain risk
- Possible government backing could draw more investor money into chips
