TSMC's Q4 earnings report showcases exceptional growth, driven by booming AI hardware demand and operational excellence, with revenue and earnings surpassing expectations. Geopolitical tensions underpinned by US-China relations and US export controls pose risks, but TSMC's dominance in advanced chip manufacturing and increasingly diversified footprint mitigate these concerns. Margin expansion, strong cash flow, and increased CapEx highlight TSMC's financial strength, with significant growth in gross, operating, and net margins driven by recent price increases.

We expect Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited to be among the top-performing semi stocks in our coverage this year. TSMC not only holds a monopoly over the foundry market but is also growing its share quarterly on its position as the industry go-to for advanced tech, i.e., smaller nanometers. There are two markets that will see a transition to smaller nanometer nodes faster than others: smartphones and AI, which already account for 35% and 53% of total sales.
I reiterate a “Buy” rating for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited with a one-year target price of US$250 per share, driven by strong AI and HPC demand. TSMC's revenue from AI accelerators tripled in FY24 and is expected to double in FY25, supported by increased CAPEX for advanced technologies. TSMC's N2 process node, set for volume production in H2 FY25, will drive significant growth, especially in HPC and smartphone markets.
