Goldman Sachs believes Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will benefit from strong artificial intelligence demand. The investment bank expects server makers to order more chips as they improve production quality. Better manufacturing processes help companies build more computers faster. TSMC makes advanced processors for artificial intelligence systems around the world. Downstream companies handle final assembly and shipping of finished products.
The Taiwanese chipmaker plans to spend $40 billion on new equipment during 2026 according to Goldman estimates. Market analysts previously predicted $45 billion in capital expenses for that year. Second-generation 2-nanometer chips might face slower adoption rates across different industries. Apple leads first orders for the most advanced manufacturing process starting next year. High-performance computing applications require more power than smartphones and personal computers.
Bank of America maintains positive ratings for TSMC shares with price targets reaching NT$1,250. Strong partnerships with NVIDIA and Foxconn provide the company key advantages across supply chains. MediaTek, ASE Technology and WinWay Technology also stand to gain from increased artificial intelligence demand. Goldman discussed investment prospects with over 80 institutional investors across America and Taiwan. Geopolitical tensions remain the primary risk factor for semiconductor operations.
