Barclays raises Taiwan Semiconductor's price target after record profit and 51% revenue growth.

Barclays raised its price target for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to $670, reflecting confidence after the company reported its sixth consecutive quarter of record profits and a 51% increase in third-quarter revenue. Despite strong financial performance driven by high demand for chip manufacturing, TSMC's shares fell 1.8% due to broader market concerns like rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions affecting semiconductor stocks. The stock currently trades significantly below the new target, suggesting potential upside if market conditions improve.

TSMC trades at USD 416.54 on Pluang as of Oct 16, 2026 21:41 WIB, down 1.35% for the day. The stock's market cap is $1.96 trillion, with a 52-week high of $485.80. Pluang order activity shows 63% buy interest, indicating ongoing demand despite recent price drops.
