Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM) stands as a dominant player in the semiconductor industry, contributing significantly to AI advancements with its advanced chip production. Despite its strong market position, there are mixed sentiments about its current valuation and future growth potential; many experts express caution due to high current valuations in light of geopolitical tensions and cyclical industry behaviors. Demand for TSM's chips remains robust, driven largely by AI applications and major clients like NVIDIA and Apple. Analysts highlight that the company's operational efficiency and market share (around 70%) provide a solid foundation for continued revenue growth, yet caution against entering at what is perceived as elevated price levels. The general outlook is one of watching for a pullback before making new investments, as TSM's strategic positioning could yield favorable long-term returns.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It is very expensive, but guidance has been an increase of 5% in revenues. The company continues to leap frog ahead. However, it is quite expensive and the demand is overbought. It is however driven by China. Has owned it before, but no longer does. Would wait for a better entry point. Holds Samsung instead.

BUY

An essential 5G play The most important semi company in the world. They outsource the production of the chip industry. Volume is incredible. They just boosted their capex budget by 50%. They're making a killing from 5G. Stock is up 114% in the past year.

TOP PICK

Its 50% market share is cemented and expanding. Favoured supplier to the free world of leading edge semiconductors. Spending aggressively for manufacturing in US. Quality and performance are best in class. Yield is 1.69%. (Analysts’ price target is $642.87)

COMMENT

The most important semi stock we don't hear from. They report Thursday. If they say that they are doing well, it could move the entire semi group.

HOLD

Likes it a lot. Hard to start a position now, as it's done so well. Long-term, you can continue to own it. Its edge comes from its technological expertise, with smaller nodes. Intel's loss has been TSM's gain.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 28/20, Up 37.8%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with TSM has achieved a move to $106. We are going to be disciplined and recommend taking 50% of the position off and to put in a trailing stop at $86 -- about $10 above our first recommended entry level. This would all but guarantee a minimum return of 25%.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With the demand for semi-conductors on a tear with the growth in cloud based services and the move towards 5G, TSM is a Top Pick. We like that it is now the world's largest semi-conductor manufacturer with a market share of 54%. Intel has struggled with rolling out new technology and TSM has been there to pick up the slack -- even taking on some of Intel's outsourcing. The company's customers include the likes of Nvidia, Apple, AMD and Qualcomm. In the latest earnings report, EPS expanded by over 80% and sales grew by 36%. We also like the dividend. Yield 3.71%

BUY

Is the US cold war with China effecting the semi space (i.e. moving semi factories from China to US and Taiwan)? Trade relations continue to chill, yes. He'd own Lam or Taiwan Semi. The latter has seen huge lift in recent days. Lam broke out last week above previous highs and pulled back slightly, so it's a good time to add, and consistently beat estimates.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The industry is highly cyclical but due to the money pumped into the economy by central banks, we have seen less cyclicality in this industry than in the past. This is the best game in town. However valuation is a challenge.

TOP PICK

He finally bought into this after taking profit on another holding. They are the market leading in semi-conductor boundaries. They have a 50.5% market share. They have maintained that leadership through advanced processing and scalability and that is why Apple and AMD use them. His price target is $79. Yield 2.85% (Analysts’ price target is $59.37)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He knows the company back to early 2000. They have had a good story and it pays a dividend. This is a very mature company and an important player in the international space. Global phone providers use their technology. At the current price levels, he is a little leery. He does not see the same opportunity for smart phones in the growing Asian marketplace as consumers there will opt for lower cost, simple alternatives. He is not sure how much more upside there is left. He would like to buy it on weakness, but don't expect the same kind of growth going forward. (Analysts’ price target is $281.00)

COMMENT

It's been hurt recently. It's one of the leading assemblers of smart phones, particularly iPhones. Taiwanese stocks are affected by the downtown in the Chinese stock market, down 17-20% year to date.

DON'T BUY

TSM is on the leading edge of the semiconductor industry. They use some of the most sophisticated equipment and can offer customers excellent products. There is some concern because the visionary CEO has retired and it too soon to tell whether new management will be as visionary. Also there is concern that the tech space has run too far and may be due for a pullback.

COMMENT

A pretty cash rich company and doesn’t think they will be impacted by changes in interest rates. An extremely well-run company. Tends to be focused more on the software side than the hardware side, which is a less capital intensive industry. A reasonably priced company and a more appropriate investment if you are value oriented.

COMMENT

A manufacturer of semiconductors for other companies, specifically Qualcomm (QCOM-Q). Growth in recent years has really been driven by the increasing ubiquity of the smart phones and tablet devices. They are anticipating customers’ orders for smaller and smaller semiconductors that will be more powerful. Just won the contract for the 64-bit phone from the presumed iPhone 6 that will be coming out this fall. Near-term, there should be some margin concerns because it is such a CapX intensive business. They have to spend that CapX in the 1^st 6 months to be able to enjoy the benefits of the sales in the back of the year. Views this is a core holding in technology.
