  • The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 17.3, which looks attractive compared to its growth rate.

The case against

  • The stock price has declined over the past week and month, indicating some short-term selling pressure.
  • As a massive player in the tech industry, it faces constant regulatory scrutiny around the world.

TSMC TSM

The case for

  • Dominant market leader with incredible profitability, turning over half of its revenue into net profit.
  • Riding a massive wave of demand from the artificial intelligence boom, with revenue growing over 36%.

The case against

  • The stock has seen a sharp, recent downturn, indicating negative short-term momentum.
