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.

HOLD

In the long term it makes sense. He likes ASML or KLAC more in this space. There are Geo-political concerns.

BUY

Risk in geopolitical tensions with China. World class business. Builds majority of semi-conductors in the world. Good long term investment. A.I. trend will positively impact company. 

WAIT

Great company and good management. Lots of political noise in the sector. If you view the sector as having political risk, go and buy Samsung -- effectively the same risk, but there will be a pop on tensions with TSM. High capex has been pulled back, which tells us that the cycle will be longer and deeper. Put on your watchlist, but wait.

TRADE

Very decent runway to price target of $107.40. Between 50-55% market share. Tradeable. Pick it up with a $70-something handle, sell when it gets above $110. But keep a core position, as it's going to be around for a long time.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
The caller just bought this

Wait before you buy again. Buy if this falls another 10%. Likes TSM very much.

PARTIAL BUY

Fundamentally, company and business rank 10/10 for a long-term hold. 60% market share. Reputable. Semis have room to run. Starting an upward trend. Not a bad place to start picking it up, especially with a September pullback.

(Analysts’ price target is $117.00)
BUY ON WEAKNESS

He's trimmed his position recently. They're running at full steam, because they service other companies like Nvidia and AMD, because they are the biggest foundry. They face a challenge supplying all those chips for AI. Buy at $93 now or $88, even the low-$80s.

BUY

Excellent company with strong product.
60% market share of semi-conductor business.
Best technology within sector.
Expecting further share growth.
Good long-term hold with A.I. tailwinds. 
Does not think geopolitical tensions with China will affect business. 

BUY
TSM vs. NVDA

TSM makes the chips, whereas NVDA designs them. Semiconductors have become very political between China and the US.

TSM is going to have large capex over the next little while, as they build new plants. A great business over the last several years. Issues are more political. Incredibly well run. Largest foundry in the world.

NVDA has been in the sweet spot of semis. Has done very well, especially AI products. In high demand, leading edge. Earnings come out soon. Run up a lot. Wait for a pullback.

BUY

A better way to play the EV trade than traditional car companies. Better business economics, benefits from the same trend, better free cashflow, total return will be significantly higher.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A very good semis company that operates in a democracy that we need to we need to defend. Has pulled back lately to attractive levels.

DON'T BUY

Are political risks with China, so he avoids it. Warren Buffett was briefly in this name.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Best of breed and leading-edge tech. Popular opinion believes that cutting-edge technology will move to the US, but that won't happen.If you can get around the politics, this will do well. But the semis sector is overbought.

COMMENT

Like sit a lot, but prefers other American companies because they have more intellectual firepower.

HOLD

Good company. Main risk is geopolitical with escalating tensions between China-Taiwan. Building facilities in the US helps mitigate this risk. Best foundry in the world. Absent something crazy happening, you can hold for a long time.
