About: 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 customer base, including Apple, AMD, and Nvidia, that looks to apply cutting-edge process technologies to its semiconductor designs. TSMC employs more than 73,000 people.

TSMC: Solid Results, But Sentiment Still Heavy
Taiwan Semiconductor delivered strong Q1 results with 41% YoY revenue growth and solid EPS, driven by advanced nodes and AI demand, maintaining its 'Buy' rating. Despite tariff risks, TSMC's guidance remains robust, with Q2 revenue expected to rise 13% QoQ and capex focused on advanced nodes. The U.S. investment plan marks a strategic shift, potentially increasing geopolitical risk, but diversifying production outside Taiwan.

3 No-Brainer Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy Right Now
While artificial intelligence (AI) investing has been the driving trend in the market over the past two years, it gave up that leadership role to tariffs in early 2025. AI is still a huge trend and isn't really slowing down, so the lack of focus on this critical area opens up an investment opportunity to scoop up some of the leaders at hefty discounts.
