Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) reported May 2026 revenue up 30.1% year-over-year, with CEO C.C. Wei forecasting over 30% growth in U.S. dollar terms for the full year. Despite a recent stock pullback due to valuation concerns, rising component costs, and geopolitical risks, Wall Street remains bullish with an average target price near $473 and some forecasts exceeding $500. Strong AI-related demand and significant investments, including a 35% Arizona tax credit and a $52-56 billion CapEx plan, support earnings growth. The main risk is geopolitical instability in Taiwan, but if Q2 results meet guidance and AI demand stays robust, TSMC could realistically reach $500 per share by the end of 2026.
