• Positive Sentiment: Several investment articles argue that strong recent results, raised guidance and the AI infrastructure build-out could support substantial earnings growth through 2030. Executive share purchases and inclusion in new AI-focused ETFs provide additional supportive signals, though neither guarantees future performance. Prediction: TSMC Stock Is Going to $1,200 by 2030
