An analyst from D.A. Davidson raised the price target for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to $500, indicating a 22% potential upside from its current price of $409.74. This upgrade is driven by strong demand in artificial intelligence (AI), with high-performance computing (HPC) accounting for 66% of TSMC's Q2 revenue and showing 20% sequential growth. To meet rising AI demand, TSMC plans to invest $60-$64 billion in 2026 to expand advanced chip manufacturing capacity. Despite heavy capital expenditure, TSMC maintains robust financial health with 65% gross margins and projected free cash flow of $47 billion in 2026, supporting its leadership in the semiconductor foundry market.
