This summary was created by AI, based on 41 opinions in the last 12 months.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) is widely regarded as a crucial player in the semiconductor industry and central to the AI revolution. The company's dominance in advanced chip production, holding 70% market share, along with its partnerships with major customers like NVIDIA and Apple, positions it as a leading force in the sector. Despite geopolitical concerns regarding Taiwan, analysts express confidence in TSM's long-term growth potential, with many forecasting earnings growth in the high double digits. However, valuations appear mixed, with some experts suggesting it is overvalued given its current price-to-earnings ratio. Nevertheless, the company's robust demand, significant backlog, and technological leadership point to its resilience and ongoing importance in shaping the future of technology.

PARTIAL SELL

The leader. He took some profits. Though there are plants in the US, it's not going to move leading-edge production offshore from Taiwan. Recommends reading Chip War by Chris Miller.

TOP PICK

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. engages in the manufacture and sale of integrated circuits and wafer semiconductor devices. Its chips are used in personal computers and peripheral products, information applications, wired and wireless communications systems products, and automotive and industrial equipment including consumer electronics such as digital video compact disc player, digital television, game consoles, and digital cameras. The company was founded by Chung Mou Chang on February 21, 1987 and is headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Social media mentions are up 61% in the past 24h.

WEAK BUY

Best of breed. A very good foundry. If you buy it, don't sell it, though you can trim it. Problem is, this has had a huge run. He last bought this a while ago at $15. If you're not bothered from the high PE, you can buy this. Has AI exposure.

BUY

In semis, his pick is TSM, which make the chips for the major players. Semis are a cyclical industry, but TSM is completing plants in the US, so revenues should soar in 2025-6.

Unspecified

He owns it but is cautious and might sell one day. They have a massive $65 billion investment in the U.S. which should take effect next year. Investors are concentrating on AI where NVIDIA is the leader. He is cautious on massive capital expenditures since they could reap the benefits now, but what happens if there is slowdown especially since it is in a cyclical sector. He doesn't expect 10 to 20% growth.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

One of the best semi stocks, are well-positioned for growth. Likes it, but is overbought now. Buy dips. The street target $230. Support from the 200-day moving average is $160.

WATCH

It is just going on his watch list since he likes the chart. It did consolidate, then broke out. Could pull back

BUY

They directly benefit from Nvidia's momentum. Shares have doubled in the past year, and strong performance will continue. At 23-26x forward PE, this translates into doubled revenues and earnings. Not as impressive as Nvidia, but more sustainable.

WAIT

Massive growth of all chipmakers. Remember that semis are cyclical; ASML, for example, went down 20% yesterday. Hot stocks always have potential to re-rate. His preference, but valuation is not attractive right now.

BUY

It's moved up, but he still sees upside due to their predictable earnings.

BUY

A large holding for him. TSI is cheap among the semis and there could be a deal with they building a semis plant in the Middle East, in partnership with Samsung. Nvidia always needs chips from TSM, another plus.

TRADE

Undisputed market leader in foundries, market share of 51%. Huge backlog. Chart shows that it's a bit of a trading stock, but then when it breaks out you can build up a position. When trading, doesn't mean that you have to get out, but allows you to trim.

Delivers on execution, but amazing how such a massive company is still innovative. Cornered the market on the 2-nanometer chip. Fantastically managed.

BUY

They benefit from Nvidia's capex spending. Nvidia receives orders from the hyperscalers and so orders more from Taiwan Semi, which is safer and much cheaper than NVDA. That's why it's larger position for him than NVDA.
