Through the opening seven months of 2026, the chipmaking giant accumulated NT$2.87 trillion in total sales, representing a 37% expansion versus the comparable 2025 timeframe. This sustained performance demonstrates remarkable business stability.
The impressive July metrics build upon an already exceptional second quarter. TSMC delivered $40.2 billion in Q2 sales, compared to $30.07 billion during the same quarter last year. The company’s net income reached NT$706.6 billion ($22 billion), reflecting a 77% year-over-year jump that comfortably exceeded Wall Street projections.
As the primary semiconductor manufacturer for technology giants like Nvidia and Apple, TSMC’s sophisticated production and packaging technologies have positioned the company as a critical enabler of artificial intelligence infrastructure expansion.
Looking ahead to Q3 2026, company executives provided revenue guidance ranging from $44.6 billion to $45.8 billion, with anticipated gross profit margins of 65% to 67%. These projections represent an improvement over Q2 results and indicate sustained business strength heading into year-end.
Following the Q2 earnings release, Needham’s Charles Shi elevated his TSM price objective to $530 from the previous $480 level, maintaining his Buy recommendation. Shi anticipates TSMC’s sales will expand 40% during 2027 and 24% in 2028, propelled by artificial intelligence semiconductor requirements. His financial model incorporates capital spending estimates of approximately $80 billion and $90 billion respectively as the manufacturer expands production capabilities.
When 2026 began, TSMC management forecasted annual revenue expansion approaching 30% measured in dollar terms. Based on current performance trends, the company appears positioned to exceed this initial projection.
TSM currently trades at $420.04 per share. GuruFocus data indicates the stock’s GF Value at $352.04, suggesting the shares are trading approximately 19.3% above the model’s calculated fair value. The price-to-earnings multiple stands at 27.47x, elevated compared to the five-year median of 22.78x.
The comprehensive GF Score registers 98 out of 100, with maximum 10/10 ratings in both profitability and growth categories. Momentum and financial strength each earn 9/10 scores. The valuation component receives a lower 6/10 rating.
Recent insider transactions over the past three months show net dispositions totaling $12.4 million, consisting of $14 million in sales offset by $1.6 million in acquisitions.
Among institutional investors monitored by GuruFocus, 45 prominent fund managers maintain positions. Thirteen increased their stakes recently, while 27 reduced holdings. This divergence suggests some caution regarding valuation at present price levels.
TipRanks data shows TSM earning a Strong Buy consensus rating, supported by six Buy recommendations and one Hold rating. The average Street price target of $525 implies potential upside approaching 25% from current market prices.
Year-to-date, TSM shares have appreciated 38.8%.
