Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) is widely recognized as a key player in the semiconductor industry, holding a significant market share of around 70%. Experts praise its monopoly on advanced chip production, particularly for AI applications, highlighting impressive revenue growth metrics and strong demand from major clients like NVIDIA and Apple. While some analysts express concerns over its high valuation, many insist that TSMC remains a cornerstone investment, providing a stable and essential foundation for the AI sector. Despite geopolitical tensions in the region, a majority believe in its long-term growth potential, with expectations of continued strong earnings growth. TSMC's consistent performance, large backlog, and unique position as a foundry make it a widely recommended pick among analysts.
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.
Lorne SteinbergHe 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.

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.
Expectation that generative AI spending, by way of building out data centres, is going to be very robust through 2030. This is a way to play, 100%. Stock's done well, has pulled back with the others. Well positioned going forward.
Rhetoric going into the election about Taiwan and China, so could be more weakness.

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.
