TSMC drew intense options activity as its shares slipped to around $375, with puts slightly outpacing calls but skew flattening, hinting at a cautiously bullish tone despite elevated implied volatility that prices in daily swings of roughly $10. The stock has still surged more than 80% over the past year, supported by strong January revenue growth of 36.8% and heavy AI‑driven capital spending plans of up to $75 billion.
The chipmaker strengthened investor confidence by filing its 2024 and 2025 audited financials with the U.S. SEC, where Deloitte issued a clean opinion under Taiwan‑IFRS and highlighted depreciation timing on major equipment as a key audit area. While hedge fund MIG Capital trimmed its TSMC stake by 40,384 shares and valuation looks rich at about 32x earnings with a low yield, Wall Street and AI‑driven models still rate the stock a Buy/Outperform with targets up to $450, betting on TSMC’s dominant role in advanced AI and high‑performance chips.
