#3 - Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM)
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) is a foundry that makes NVIDIA's AI chips. Its customer base also includes Advanced Micro Devices and Apple, among others. If you’re looking for a pure-play semiconductor stock, TSM is the one.
The company is projected to be a significant beneficiary of the Chips Act passed by Congress in 2022. In April 2024, the Biden administration announced plans to give Taiwan Semi $6.6 billion to help it build three foundries in Arizona.
TSM stock is up 62% in 2024 and 67% over the last 12 months. That has it butting up against its current consensus price target. However, the company’s revenue, which came in at $70 billion in 2023, is expected to climb to $100 billion in fiscal year 2025. And the stock trades at around 27x forward earnings, which means investors are not paying too high of a premium on TSM stock.
