- AI Demand Outlook: Taiwan Semiconductor plans to invest up to $56 billion to enhance production capacity in response to AI demand, demonstrating confidence in future markets while reflecting a cautious stance on current demand.
- Stock Price Discount: Despite a more than 300% increase in its stock price since 2023, Taiwan Semiconductor's P/E ratio stands at 25, lower than the 30 times of most tech companies, indicating it remains an attractive investment option.
- Revenue Growth Expectations: The company reported a 26% year-over-year revenue growth in its last quarter and anticipates nearly 30% revenue growth by 2026, further supporting its projected 25% compound annual growth rate through 2029, showcasing strong growth potential in the AI market.
- Ongoing Data Center Investments: As AI hyperscalers continue to invest in data centers, this trend is expected to persist until at least 2030, allowing Taiwan Semiconductor to maintain its position as a market leader and benefit from sustained high demand.
