AI Demand Boom: Will TSM Keep Rising After Its New High?

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM), one of the world’s largest and most advanced semiconductor manufacturers, closed at $207.12 yesterday, reflecting a 2.03% decline from the previous trading day. With a 52-week range of $99.98 to $222.20, TSM’s stock has experienced significant fluctuations, underscoring the market’s sensitivity to changes in investor sentiment and broader economic conditions. Despite the recent dip, TSM continues to show impressive financial strength, boasting positive net income, earnings per share (EPS), and consistent dividend payouts. However, as the stock nears its 52-week high, investors may wonder whether TSM’s momentum can continue, or if the stock’s price is too inflated due to external factors such as the current tech and AI boom.

Taiwan Semiconductor will host its fourth-quarter analyst meeting on Jan. 16. Lu expected another year of solid revenue growth in 2025E by 26.8% for Taiwan Semiconductor, following 29.4% revenue growth in 2024E (all in USD terms), driven by strong demand in leading-edge nodes mainly supported by continuous strong momentum from AI. The analyst also noted a more favorable competition landscape, with $Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.(SSNLF)$ foundry and $Intel(INTC)$   foundry facing more difficulties as they move to more advanced nodes. Therefore, he modeled a mid-high single-digit price hike for 3nm and 5nm nodes and a 10%+ price hike for chip-on-wafer-on-substrate starting in 2025.

The current AI boom fits right into this cycle of investor psychology: - We're likely somewhere between Exuberance and Euphoria. AI is generating immense hype, with many believing it's a revolutionary technology that will transform everything. This leads to inflated expectations and potentially overvalued investments. - Denial and Anxiety are around the corner. As with all emerging technologies, AI will face challenges and setbacks. Some projects will fail, and the initial hype may fade. This is when investors start to doubt and worry. - The Fear, Despair, and Panic stages could follow. If AI fails to meet the lofty expectations, a sharp correction could occur. Investors might panic and sell off their AI-related holdings, driving prices down further. - This cycle can repeat. Even if AI ful
