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 trade at $414, reflecting a 74.31% gain over the trailing twelve months, per SID market data. Despite strong annual performance, shorter-term momentum has weakened, with the stock declining 4.66% over three months while posting a modest 2.74% gain over the past month. TSM currently trades below its 50-day moving average of $422.50 but remains well above its 200-day moving average of $370.23, according to Massive/Polygon technical data. The 14-day relative strength index registers at 45.8, indicating neutral momentum without oversold or overbought conditions. The stock carries a beta of 1.267, suggesting higher volatility relative to the broader market. Average daily trading volume stands at approximately 12.97 million shares, supporting robust liquidity for the $1.58 trillion market capitalization company within the technology sector.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited Valuation Analysis
TSM 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 PEG ratio stands at 2.28, suggesting the stock is priced above its earnings growth rate on a relative basis. The price-to-book ratio registers at 8.35, indicating significant market premium over the company's book value, according to SEC filings. TSM offers a dividend yield of 1.29%, providing modest income to shareholders alongside capital appreciation potential. With a market capitalization of approximately $1.58 trillion, the company ranks among the most valuable technology firms globally. These valuation metrics position TSM at a premium relative to the broader semiconductor industry, reflecting the company's dominant market share in advanced chip manufacturing and its critical role in global semiconductor supply chains for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications.
Smart Money Activity for TSM
TSM registers a smart money score of 70 with a bullish signal, per SID market data.

The insider sub-score stands at a perfect 25 out of 25, reflecting strong conviction from company leadership. Institutional positioning also demonstrates confidence, scoring 23.0 out of 25 per 13F institutional filings, indicating substantial accumulation by major fund managers. Dark pool activity scores a more modest 9.1 out of 25, suggesting relatively lower off-exchange institutional interest in recent periods. Congressional trading activity registers at 12.8 out of 25, showing moderate engagement from political stakeholders. The combination of near-perfect insider and institutional scores, driven heavily by the strong insider buying ratio of 9-to-1, contributes to the overall bullish smart money signal for TSM shares.
