Motley Fool columnist projects TSMC ADR could reach about $1,219 by 2030
The Motley Fool columnist Harsh Chauhan said Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. ADRs could climb to roughly $1,219 by 2030, implying a near threefold increase based on his model. His case rests on TSMC’s stronger-than-expected third-quarter results, a fourth-quarter revenue outlook of $52.3 billion to $54.3 billion, and earnings assumptions that extend the company’s recent growth trajectory. TSMC reported third-quarter revenue of $46.72 billion, up 41.2% year over year, while net profit rose 68.7% and ADR EPS reached a record $4.60. The company also raised its full-year U.S. dollar revenue growth forecast to about 44% from about 38%. Chauhan also pointed to the mix shift toward advanced nodes. Sub-7nm process technologies accounted for 79% of wafer revenue in the third quarter, with 3nm at 33%, 5nm at 28%, and 2nm at 8%. He argued 2nm could support long-term revenue and profit growth, citing market reports that 2nm pricing is about 50% above 3nm. He also referenced reports that TSMC may raise advanced-node and advanced-packaging prices next year, while noting the company has not formally announced any price increase.
