Has TSMC's new "golden cycle" arrived? Goldman Sachs: Advanced packaging becomes the second growth engine, with a 60% gross margin possibly being the "new normal."
Goldman Sachs believes that Taiwan Semiconductor has entered a multi-year growth cycle driven by AI and has raised its target price to NT$ 2,600. Taiwan Semiconductor has revised its compound annual growth rate for AI and overall revenue, with advanced packaging becoming the second growth engine, expected to exceed 10% by 2026. Gross margin remains stable above 60%, and capital expenditures are accelerating to $56 billion. Goldman Sachs maintains a buy rating, emphasizing that supply and demand tightness will continue until 2027
