Prediction: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Stock Is the Safest AI Chip Bet
Key Points TSMC has become the undisputed foundry leader. This essentially makes it the arms dealer in the AI chip battle, making it a winner no matter who comes out on top. The company could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of autonomous driving as well. 10 stocks we like better than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing › Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) may not design artificial intelligence (AI) chips, but it's a company that every AI chipmaker relies on. The AI giants rely on TSMC to manufacture their number-crunching chip designs. That's why TSMC is the safest long-term play in the AI infrastructure space. Let's look at what makes the company so special. The foundry leader TSMC is the world's most advanced semiconductor foundry, and it counts the world's leading chip designers among its top customers, including Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Broadcom, and Apple. It has the scale and technological leadership that rivals can't match. Intel has been burning cash trying to establish its foundry business, while Samsung's yield issues continue to be an issue. That has given TSMC a huge market share lead in the advanced node market, and it's not particularly close. Nodes refer to the size of the transistors used on a chip, measured in nanometers. The smaller the node, the more transistors can be packed onto the chip, which boosts performance and power efficiency. Smaller nodes are becoming a bigger part of TSMC's mix. Chips made on 7nm and smaller nodes made up 73% of its revenue in the first quarter, up from 65% a year ago. Its 3nm node accounted for 22% of revenue, and Apple has booked much of its 2nm supply for future products. Even Intel has been using TSMC's 3nm tech for some of its most advanced chips. That says a lot. TSMC's clear leadership in the space has also given the company strong pricing power. Between increasing demand and higher prices, this is driving both strong revenue growth and improved gross margins. Last quarter, its revenue jumped 35% to $25.5 billion, led by growth in high-performance computing (HPC). That continued in Q2, with the company reporting preliminary revenue growth of 39% to $31.9 billion, as estimated by Reuters. Margins remain strong despite new fabs ramping. Gross margin rose 190 basis points to 58.8% in Q1 despite its Arizona and Japan fabs still ramping up and weighing on profitability. TSMC expects these newer facilities to dilute margins by 2 to 3 percentage points this year, but the company is already raising prices to offset the pressure. According to reports, TSMC will increase AI chip prices this year, with Arizona-made chips potentially commanding a 30% premium. TSMC's business risks TSMC is not entirely without risks. Geopolitical tensions around Taiwan will always be part of the story, and it's not immune to tariffs and policy shifts in the U.S. However, TSMC is already addressing both by expanding its footprint globally. The company has been building new fabs in the U.S., Japan, and Europe in partnership with its largest customers. However, what makes TSMC the safest AI semiconductor stock is its position in the semiconductor value chain. It ultimately doesn't matter which company wins the AI chip race. TSMC's success is tied to overall AI chip demand, not any one company's products. AI chip demand isn't slowing down, either. TSMC previously projected AI-related revenue to grow at a mid-40% compounded average growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years, starting in 2024. It's also working closely with customers to time its capacity expansion accordingly. With its top customers booking future supply, it has solid visibility into future growth. Meanwhile, it could see a tailwind beyond AI with autonomous driving. Robotaxis are beginning to take off and gain traction, and all of those vehicles will need to be fitted with advanced chips. It's still early, but if robotaxis and autonomous driving become commonplace, TSMC will be a big beneficiary. Time to buy the stock In the AI chip battle, TSMC is essentially the AI arms dealer. It doesn't need to bet on who will dominate the chip market, because it sells manufacturing services to all of them. For investors who want exposure to AI semiconductors without betting on a single chipmaker, TSMC is the safest way to play it. The stock is also attractively valued, trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 24 times based on analysts' 2025 estimates and a price/earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG) of less than 0.7. Stocks with PEG ratios below 1 are typically considered undervalued. Taken all together, TSMC is one of the best and safest stocks to buy in the semiconductor space right now.

Prediction: These 2 AI Chip Stocks Will Outperform Nvidia Over the Next 5 Years
Key Points Nvidia is the dominant player in AI infrastructure, but its size could limit some of its upside. AMD and Broadcom, meanwhile, have huge opportunities. Given their smaller sizes, the stocks have the potential to outperform Nvidia in the coming years. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › Nvidia is the undisputed king of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The company has a dominant share in the graphics processing unit (GPU) market, where its chips provide the processing power necessary to run AI workloads. Its CUDA software platform has helped create a wide moat, giving the company over 90% market share in the GPU space. That said, Nvidia has become a mammoth company, recently hitting a $4 trillion market cap. As such, it now faces the law of large numbers. It can keep growing, but it will get more difficult to keep up the same pace. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » That's why the stocks of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) could outperform the GPU leader over the next five years. Both have smaller revenue bases to work from and big potential tailwinds. Advanced Micro Devices AMD, as the company is also known, has been seeing strong revenue growth, but its AI opportunity could just be getting started. While it's still a distant second to Nvidia in GPUs, it has been able to carve out a niche in AI inference. On its last earnings call, AMD said that one of the largest AI model companies in the world is using its GPUs to run a significant chunk of its daily inference workloads. Major cloud providers have been using its chips to run search, recommendation engines, and generative AI tasks. The company's ROCm software platform still trails CUDA, but it's generally considered good enough when it comes to inference. The reason the stock can outperform, though, largely comes down to size. Nvidia's data center revenue hit $39.1 billion last quarter, while AMD's was just $3.7 billion. It doesn't have to take massive share from the leader to see explosive growth, as even modest wins can make a big impact. AMD is also a leader in data center central processing units (CPUs), where it has gained meaningful share against Intel. CPUs act as the brains of the operation, so as AI workloads expand, demand for high-performance CPUs will also grow. Meanwhile, the UALink Consortium which was formed by AMD, Intel, Broadcom, and others, is looking to challenge Nvidia's NVLink and its proprietary interconnects. It wants to develop an open standard for high-speed, low-latency interconnects for AI accelerators in data centers. If successful, it could erode one of Nvidia's biggest advantages and open the door for companies to use clusters of multiple vendors. That would be huge for AMD. With AI inference expected to eventually eclipse training in size, AMD has a big opportunity. Broadcom Broadcom isn't directly chasing Nvidia in the GPU market. Instead, it's competing against the company in AI networking and by helping customers design custom AI chips. Broadcom makes networking components -- like Ethernet switches and optical interconnects -- that are essential in transferring huge data volumes across large AI clusters. As these clusters get bigger, so do networking demands. This is helping drive the company's revenue growth, and last quarter its AI networking revenue surged 70%. However, the company's biggest opportunity is in application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). It helped Alphabet develop its highly successful Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and is now designing custom AI chips for several other hyperscalers (companies that operate huge data centers). These custom chips can deliver better performance and power efficiency than off-the-shelf GPUs, and demand is growing fast. Management has said that its three custom AI chip customers that are the furthest along in their development are planning to deploy up to 1 million chip clusters each by its fiscal 2027, representing a $60 billion to $90 billion opportunity. That doesn't even include newer wins like Apple. And given the up-front costs of designing custom chips, they are typically used in large deployments. Broadcom also owns VMware, which is becoming increasingly important in AI cloud environments. Its Cloud Foundation platform helps enterprises manage AI workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and it is seeing strong upselling to this platform. With its networking portfolio, custom chips, and virtualization software, the company has a lot of growth in front of it. The bottom line Nvidia is still a great company, and its stock has room to move higher. However, it just saw its data center revenue increase more than ninefold in two years. At some point, it gets harder to keep posting that type of breakneck growth. Meanwhile, AMD and Broadcom both have much smaller AI-related revenue streams today. If AMD can take some GPU market share in inference, that would be a huge growth driver. And if Broadcom's customers start producing a huge amount of custom chips based on its intellectual property, it could unlock tens of billions in high-margin revenue. As such, I think both AMD and Broadcom stocks are well-positioned to outperform Nvidia over the next five years. Should you invest $1,000 in Advanced Micro Devices right now?
