TSMC rated buy with 20.2% upside on strong AI-driven semiconductor demand and market dominance

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is recommended as a buy with a fair value target of $543, implying a 20.2% upside. The company maintains a dominant position in advanced semiconductor manufacturing, supported by decades of reinvestment, high profit margins, and significant barriers to entry. AI-driven demand is boosting TSMC's High Performance Computing revenue, which now accounts for 58% of total revenue, further strengthening its competitive edge. Key risks include customer concentration, geographic exposure to Taiwan, and the cyclical nature of the semiconductor sector despite secular growth from AI.

As of Sep 27, 2026 21:11 WIB, TSMC shares trade at USD 450.61 on Pluang, showing a slight 0.12% decline in the past day. The stock holds a market capitalization of $2.02 trillion and an enterprise value of $1.94 trillion, reflecting its massive scale in the semiconductor industry. Notably, Pluang investors show a balanced sentiment with 57% buying and 43% selling activity, while the typical holding period is 110 days.
