  • Summary

  • Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world's leading semiconductor foundry, has seen significant growth driven by artificial intelligence and advanced technology nodes. As of February 10, 2025, the stock price of TSM climbed to two hundred seven dollars and ninety-five cents with eight million two hundred seventy-four thousand three hundred thirteen shares trading.

    The company's recent financial performance has been impressive, with a thirty-three point nine percent rise in net sales for 2024, exceeding its revenue forecast. This growth is largely attributed to strong demand for AI technology. TSMC's focus on research and development has enabled it to stay ahead of the curve in terms of process technology, attracting and retaining high-profile customers in the tech industry.

    Major analysts have issued a moderate buy rating for TSM, with an average twelve-month price target of two hundred twenty dollars. The highest price target is two hundred fifty-five dollars, while the lowest is one hundred seventy dollars, indicating a forecasted upside of four point nine eight percent from the current price.

    Recent news includes TSMC's investment plan in the US, which remains unchanged despite election outcomes. The company is investing sixty-five billion dollars in new factories in Arizona, supported by a six point six billion dollar grant from the US government to diversify chip manufacturing geographically.

    However, TSMC faces challenges from geopolitical tensions and supply chain risks. The US has ordered TSMC to halt shipments of advanced chips to Chinese customers, and the company is navigating complex regulatory environments due to restrictions on technology exports to certain Chinese companies.

    Despite these challenges, TSMC's continued leadership in advanced manufacturing processes positions the company for strong future growth. The demand for chips produced using the most advanced nodes, such as five nanometer and three nanometer, is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. TSMC's early success with its three nanometer process and ongoing development of two nanometer technology demonstrate its ability to stay ahead of competitors.
