Taiwan Semiconductor May Have Another 42% Upside

At the moment, Taiwan Semiconductor may have another 24% to 42% upside, according to Wall Street analysts. Helping, the company just said April 2025 revenue came in at 349.57 billion New Taiwan dollars, a 48% increase year over year.

We also have to consider that a potential trade deal with China could also help boost the semiconductor chip industry. Plus, as TSM noted in late March, “its 2nm technology will enable a 10% to 15% increase in speed at the same amount of power consumption, or a 25% to 30% reduction in power at the same speed, compared with its prior- generation N3E technology,” as reported by Barron’s.

“The company estimates the 2nm technology will enable its customers to sell $2 trillion worth of products across major markets within five years of volume 2nm production.”

Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM | TSM Price Prediction) are up just over 1.3%, or $2.40 on the day. All as sales continue to explode higher. For April, the company said revenue came in at 349.57 billion New Taiwan dollars, a 48% increase year over year.

While TSM didn’t comment on what drove the year-over-year increase, it’s fair to say it had a lot to do with artificial intelligence hardware. After all, it is a chief supplier of chips to AI giants like Nvidia, Apple, Qualcomm, and Advanced Micro Devices.

We also have to consider that a potential trade deal with China could also help boost the semiconductor chip industry. Plus, recent TSM earnings haven’t been too shabby. In its first quarter, the company said its profit jumped 60% to 365.56 billion New Taiwan dollars ($11.12 billion). That also beat analyst estimates of 351.56 billion.

For the second quarter, TSM expects to see revenue of $28.4 billion to $29.2 billion, with the midpoint above expectations. Even better, it expects to see mid-20% sales growth this year, and for revenue from AI-related servers and processors to double.
