TSM · Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company LimitedTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited

Bullish on TSM and INTC. TSM has insane profitability and is maxed out, everyone uses them. INTC has US government capping downside risk and large upside to TSM after buildout completion.

Elon Musk lawsuit against OpenAI will not impact semiconductor companies like $TSM and $MU that are isolated from OpenAI dependency, while other vendors heavily tethered to OpenAI may face headwinds.

Personal stock ratings with detailed commentary: Strong Buy on 14 stocks (SNAP, META, MU, TSM, etc.) citing catalysts like memory supercycle, bottlenecks, and AI tailwinds. Buy on 32 stocks including COIN, SMCI, GOOGL, and several crypto and drone plays. Questionable on VELO and SKYT due to weak fundamentals. Avoid on 11 stocks (UAVS, BKKT, PLTR, etc.) due to dilution, high debt, or overvaluation. Overall bullish on AI, memory, bottlenecks, made-in-America supply chains, and defense, with a long-term view until after midterms.

Market liquidation cascades from silver crash and hawkish Fed nomination fears, but overall fundamentals remain bullish with expected rate cuts and AI growth. Recommend repositioning to FCF-generating names and being cautious on speculative high-beta names.

Google's massive capex increase signals accelerating AI infrastructure spend, benefiting AI supply chain companies.

Hyperscaler AI capex is increasing dramatically, benefiting AI supply chain companies, especially ASICs, memory, and key enablers like TSM and NVDA. Hidden beneficiaries like AAOI, POET, MRVL, LITE also benefit.

Bullish on memory/photonics (SNDK, MU, LITE) and TSM, plus upstream InP player AXTI, based on Semivision bottleneck summary highlighting advanced packaging, HBM, CPO, power delivery as key chokepoints.

Recommendation to ride semiconductor capex trends by investing in key memory, photonics, and advanced packaging tickers.

TSM operating income is projected to grow from $62.2B in 2025 to over $100B by 2027, indicating strong profitability growth.

Hyperscalers going into debt for AI capex benefits chip suppliers like NVDA, TSM, AVGO as they transfer balance sheets to them.

The 1 million job revision signals a permanent structural shift due to AI/automation, not a slowing economy. Corporate profits will explode as companies replace human labor with AI and robotics. Investors should buy AI supply chain equities to hedge against unemployment and benefit from margin expansion.

Nvidia earnings are a lagging indicator; hyperscaler capex and TSM projections are the true drivers. Memory (SNDK) and semis (TSM) are likely to rise as AI accelerates.

Google's massive data center buildout, potentially exceeding $1 trillion over a decade, will drive significant bullish outcomes for the Google TPU ecosystem including LITE, AVGO, TSM, and GOOGL.

Predicts a geopolitical shock causing panic selling in EWY and TSM, followed by a recovery. Suggests selling into panic is a mistake.

ARM's new AGI CPU chip, built on 3nm process and targeting agentic AI workloads, is expected to add billions in annual revenue and benefits from enterprise CPU shortage, with TSM as main beneficiary.

List of 30 US stocks with brief bullish theses covering semis, AI, space, rare earths, etc.

Multiple bullish signals in semiconductor and foundry sector: ASML and TSM have good earnings outlook, UMC has price hike for foundry, Taiwan OSATs like Shunsin (6451) are long due to demand outstripping supply.

CPU supply shortage driving price hikes and capex increases, benefiting CPU makers and foundry.

AI hyperscaler demand is causing widespread supply chain bottlenecks across semiconductors, materials, and infrastructure components, benefiting companies exposed to CPUs, semiconductor equipment, photoresists, grid components, optical modules, and photonics.

Recent semiconductor developments indicate bullish opportunities across multiple tickers: Intel benefits from Apple shift, Micron from memory tightness and price increases, TSM from revenue growth, NBIS from compute demand, LPK from glass substrate acceleration, and SanDisk from NAND price rise.
