Company profile
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is the world's largest dedicated chip foundry, with mid-60s market share in 2024. TSMC was founded in 1987 as a joint venture of Philips, the government of Taiwan, and private investors. It went public in Taiwan in 1994 and as an ADR in the US in 1997. TSMC's scale and high-quality technology allow the firm to generate solid operating margins, even in the highly competitive foundry business. Furthermore, the shift to the fabless business model has created tailwinds for TSMC. The foundry leader has an illustrious base of customers, including Apple, AMD, and Nvidia, that look to apply its cutting-edge process technologies to their semiconductor designs. TSMC employs more than 83,000 people.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited Stock Performance
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSM) shares traded at $445.12, reflecting a robust 48.18% gain over the trailing twelve months, per SID market data. On a shorter horizon, the stock posted a 2.56% increase over the past month and a 5.70% gain over the past three months, indicating sustained positive momentum. TSM currently trades above both its 50-day moving average of $433.27 and its 200-day moving average of $392.58, positioning the stock in a technically constructive zone according to Massive/Polygon data. However, the 14-day relative strength index sits at 45.7, suggesting neither overbought nor oversold conditions at present. The stock carries a beta of 1.267, indicating higher volatility relative to the broader market. Average daily trading volume stands at approximately 12.97 million shares, supporting strong liquidity for institutional participation in this $1.58 trillion market capitalization company.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited Valuation Analysis
TSM currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 26.20, reflecting a premium valuation consistent with its position as the world's leading semiconductor foundry, per SID market data. The stock's PEG ratio stands at 2.28, suggesting the current earnings multiple exceeds the company's projected growth rate and places TSM at the higher end of growth-adjusted valuation metrics. According to SEC filings, the price-to-book ratio registers at 8.35, indicating investors are paying a significant premium over the company's book value per share, which aligns with the capital-light fabless customer model that drives high returns on equity. TSM offers a modest dividend yield of 1.29%, providing a small income component to total shareholder returns. Within the technology sector, these valuation metrics position TSM as a premium-priced asset, reflecting the market's recognition of its dominant competitive moat in advanced chip manufacturing.
Smart Money Activity for TSM
TSM carries a composite smart money score of 75 out of 100 with a bullish signal, per SID market data. The insider activity component registers a perfect 25 out of 25, driven by 20 insider transactions recorded over the past 90 days — all of which were purchases with zero insider sales, according to SEC Form 4 filings. This unanimous buying pattern among company insiders represents a notably strong conviction signal. Institutional positioning scores 23.0 out of 25, reflecting broad accumulation among major fund managers as documented in 13F institutional filings. Congressional trading activity scores 18.4 out of 25, indicating meaningful purchase interest from members of the United States Congress. The dark pool component registers a lower score of 9.1 out of 25, suggesting relatively subdued activity in off-exchange venues. The combination of perfect insider buying and near-maximum institutional scores underscores significant confidence from informed market participants in TSM's forward trajectory.
