Overview

Company profile and research snapshot.

Company profile

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is the world's largest dedicated chip foundry, with mid-60s market share in 2024. TSMC was founded in 1987 as a joint venture of Philips, the government of Taiwan, and private investors. It went public in Taiwan in 1994 and as an ADR in the US in 1997. TSMC's scale and high-quality technology allow the firm to generate solid operating margins, even in the highly competitive foundry business. Furthermore, the shift to the fabless business model has created tailwinds for TSMC. The foundry leader has an illustrious base of customers, including Apple, AMD, and Nvidia, that look to apply its cutting-edge process technologies to their semiconductor designs. TSMC employs more than 83,000 people.

Cathie Wood Shifts From AI Chips to Robinhood and Air Taxis in Latest ARK Trades

Cathie Wood just pulled millions out of two of this year's hottest AI chip winners and poured it into a battered broker and a pair of air taxi startups burning through cash. The trades raise a pointed question: does ARK see something the market is punishing, or is this a costly bet on visions that may never leave the runway?

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited Stock Performance

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSM) trades at $406.13, reflecting a 43.21% gain over the trailing twelve months, per SID market data. However, the stock has experienced near-term weakness, declining 5.34% over the past month and currently sitting below its 50-day moving average of $435.12. Despite this pullback, TSM remains above its 200-day moving average of $399.84, suggesting the longer-term uptrend remains intact. The 14-day RSI reads 40.7, indicating the stock is approaching oversold territory without yet reaching that threshold. TSM carries a beta of 1.267, according to Massive/Polygon data, meaning it exhibits higher volatility than the broader market. Average daily trading volume stands at approximately 12.97 million shares, reflecting robust liquidity for institutional participation. The company's market capitalization of $1.58 trillion solidifies its position as one of the most valuable semiconductor companies globally.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited Valuation Analysis

TSM currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 26.20, per SID market data, which reflects a premium relative to the broader market but is consistent with high-growth semiconductor leaders. The PEG ratio stands at 2.28, according to SEC filings and consensus estimates, suggesting the stock's growth rate does not fully justify its earnings multiple at current levels. TSM's price-to-book ratio of 8.35 underscores the market's substantial premium over the company's net asset value, driven by its dominant position in advanced chip fabrication. The dividend yield is 1.29%, providing a modest income component for shareholders. Within the Technology sector, TSM's valuation metrics reflect investor confidence in its long-term revenue trajectory tied to artificial intelligence and high-performance computing demand. These figures position TSM as a premium-valued entity where future earnings growth will be critical to sustaining current price levels.

Smart Money Activity for TSM

Smart money indicators for TSM present a bullish composite signal, with an overall smart money score of 72, per SID market data. Insider activity is notably strong, scoring 21 out of 25, with 20 insider transactions recorded over the past 90 days — all of which were purchases and none were sales, according to SEC Form 4 filings. This unanimously positive insider buying pattern suggests management and directors maintain high conviction in the company's forward outlook. Institutional positioning scores 23 out of 25, per 13F institutional filings, indicating that major asset managers continue to hold or accumulate significant positions. Congressional trading activity also registers favorably at 19.2 out of 25, reflecting notable interest among U.S. lawmakers. The one area of relative weakness is dark pool activity, scoring just 9 out of 25, which may indicate that large block trades have moderated in recent weeks. The overall bullish smart money signal aligns with TSM's strong institutional and insider confidence.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited Earnings Outlook

TSM has demonstrated a consistent pattern of exceeding analyst expectations across recent quarters, according to company earnings reports. In the most recent reported quarter, TSM posted earnings per share of $4.60 against a consensus estimate of $4.45, delivering a positive surprise of $0.15. The prior quarter showed an even stronger beat, with actual EPS of $4.31 versus the $3.77 estimate, representing a $0.54 upside surprise. The quarter ending April 2026 recorded EPS of $3.49 against estimates of $3.31, a $0.18 beat. Looking ahead, analyst estimates project EPS of $3.27 for the upcoming quarter, per consensus data. The sequential earnings growth trajectory from $3.49 to $4.31 to $4.60 reflects accelerating demand for TSM's advanced node manufacturing capabilities. This upward trend in both absolute earnings and beat frequency reinforces the company's operational execution and strengthening revenue pipeline.

Wall Street Analyst Ratings for TSM

Wall Street coverage of TSM has historically skewed positive, with multiple upgrades recorded across major investment banks, per Wall Street analyst reports. New Street Research initiated coverage with a Buy rating, while Macquarie upgraded TSM from Neutral to Outperform, citing improving fundamentals. Goldman Sachs reiterated its Buy rating, maintaining a constructive long-term thesis on the company's competitive moat in advanced semiconductor fabrication. Morgan Stanley upgraded TSM from Equal-Weight to Overweight, and China Renaissance moved its rating from Hold to Buy, according to SID consensus data. Notably, all five most recent analyst actions represent either initiations at Buy or upgrades to positive ratings, with zero downgrades recorded in the coverage window. This unanimously favorable analyst sentiment reflects broad institutional confidence in TSM's positioning as the dominant foundry provider amid surging demand for AI-related chip manufacturing at sub-5-nanometer process nodes. No sell or underperform ratings appear in recent analyst actions.
