TSMC's new U.S. plant is unlikely to get the most advanced chip technology before factories in Taiwan due to complex compliance issues, local construction regulations and various permitting requirements, the Taiwanese company's CEO said.
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.
