TSM earns a BUY rating with a $515.81 price target, implying ~27% upside from its current price of $406.26.
Nvidia's CFO Colette Kress called its ~70% fiscal 2028 growth outlook "a supply-constrained outlook," directly fueling demand for TSMC.
TSMC trades at just 18x forward earnings versus Nvidia at 42x and AMD at 182x trailing, making its valuation look deeply discounted.

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) keeps posting record quarters, and a large share of that growth depends on one manufacturer. Based on our proprietary model, the 24/7 Wall St. price target for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) is $515.81. The stock trades at $406.26, so the target means 26.97% upside. Our model rates TSMC a buy with high confidence.
The share price has fallen over the past month, but the business has kept growing faster. Management now expects 2026 revenue to grow about 44% in U.S. dollar terms, and demand still exceeds supply.
TSMC shares fell 7.19% over the past week and 14.24% over the past month. They are still up 34.45% year to date. The stock sits about 16.7% below its 52-week high of $487.47 and roughly 53.7% above its low of $264.34.
On October 15, TSMC reported Q3 EPS of $4.60 per ADR. Consensus was $4.46, so the company beat estimates for the third quarter in a row. Revenue of $46.7 billion came in above the top of guidance. Gross margin slipped 1.3 percentage points to 66.4% because the new 2nm process costs more while it ramps up.

Nvidia posted quarterly revenue of $96.22 billion, up 105.85%. It also names TSMC as a manufacturing partner. CFO Colette Kress called Nvidia's outlook for roughly 70% fiscal 2028 growth "a supply-constrained outlook." In other words, Nvidia expects to sell everything its suppliers can make.
TSMC Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei said, "Demand is still far above our capability to supply today." TSMC expects its 2nm capacity to more than double in 2027, and the next-generation A14 process starts volume production in 2028.
Analysts are lopsided in TSMC's favor: 6 strong buy and 14 buy ratings against 1 hold. Our bull scenario reaches $536.12.
Overseas fabs currently lower gross margin by about 2%. Management expects that drag to widen to 3%–4% as more U.S. fabs come online. Capex is set at $60 billion to $64 billion for 2026.
Bulls can point out that margins usually dip during a new node's ramp, with revenue growth expected to outpace capex growth. Taiwan-China tensions and U.S. export controls are still risks no model can fully price. The bear case is $432.44.
Nvidia is the obvious comparison because its growth creates TSMC's demand. Nvidia earns a 75% non-GAAP gross margin and trades at a trailing P/E of about 42.
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) competes with Nvidia in AI GPUs and also relies on outside foundries. AMD grew Q3 revenue 44.68% but trades near 182 times trailing earnings.
The P/E figures in the table use different bases (forward for TSMC, trailing for the peers). Even so, TSMC's multiple sits far below both. Measured against these peers, our 24/7 Wall St. price target looks conservative.
Our 24/7 Wall St. price target of $515.81 comes with a buy rating and 90% confidence. What tips the balance is that TSMC trades at 18 times forward earnings while its largest customers say demand is exceeding supply.
I would grow more constructive if gross margin holds within the 65% to 67% Q4 guide. I would turn cautious if overseas dilution widens faster than planned or tensions in the Taiwan Strait escalate. For now, the fundamentals point higher than the stock.
Over a longer horizon, here is where our model projects TSMC could trade if current growth and market conditions hold.
The projections depend on TSMC keeping up its performance on 2nm and A14. A slowdown in AI spending or a geopolitical shock involving Taiwan could move the stock sharply in either direction.
