Can Taiwan Semiconductor Stock Hit $270 in 2025?

Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is off to a strong start in 2025, with TSM stock climbing around 18% year-to-date (YTD). Surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips and a solid first-quarter performance have helped fuel the rally, reinforcing the company’s position at the center of the semiconductor world. 

With roughly 67% of the global foundry market and about 90% of advanced chip production under its belt, Taiwan Semiconductor remains a go-to manufacturer for cutting-edge chips. The company’s deep ties with tech heavyweights — such as Nvidia (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), Broadcom (AVGO), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), who count on it for manufacturing custom AI accelerators and graphics processing units (GPUs) — continue to be a major growth driver.
