See companies we've covered ›History and context
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (Chinese: 台灣積體電路製造股份有限公司; Taiwan Semiconductor or TSMC, stylised in all lowercase) is a Taiwanese multinational semiconductor contract manufacturing and design company. Headquartered in Hsinchu Science Park, it was the world's largest non-US company by market capitalisation as of June 30, 2026. It holds a commanding majority in the semiconductor foundry market, accounting for approximately 70% of the global market share. As the leading dedicated contract chipmaker, it serves as the main supplier for Nvidia, Apple, Broadcom, and Qualcomm. The company has grown rapidly due to the artificial intelligence (AI) boom and its importance in the creation of advanced chips needed for AI. Its role as a supply chain bottleneck raises concerns that a disruption could cause another worldwide chip shortage.

How we rate moats ›Is it a good business at a fair price?
What each method implies
Ranges, not targetsThe five questions, and the price
Six checks from the annual reports. A flag marks a reason to dig deeper, not a verdict.
- 1. Is it growing?
—
Revenue growth over 5–10 years
SGX companies don't file tagged figures with the SEC. We'll add them from annual reports.
We need at least five years of sales to answer this.
What to look for Steady growth, not one lucky year.
- 2. Is it profitable?
—
Operating margin (operating income ÷ revenue)
SGX companies don't file tagged figures with the SEC. We'll add them from annual reports.
We need operating income and revenue to answer this.
What to look for Stable or rising. It's cleaner than net income, which one-off items and tax can distort.
- 3. Is the profit real cash?
—
Free cash flow (operating cash flow − capex), and FCF ÷ net income
SGX companies don't file tagged figures with the SEC. We'll add them from annual reports.
We need the cash flow statement to answer this.
What to look for FCF positive and growing, and close to net income over time.
- 4. Is it a good business?
—
Return on invested capital (ROIC); ROE for banks
SGX companies don't file tagged figures with the SEC. We'll add them from annual reports.
We haven't rated this company's returns yet.
What to look for Clearly above the cost of capital (roughly 8–10%). Sustained 15%+ usually means a moat.
- 5. Can it survive a bad year?
—
Net debt ÷ EBITDA or ÷ FCF, plus interest cover
SGX companies don't file tagged figures with the SEC. We'll add them from annual reports.
We need the balance sheet to answer this.
What to look for Debt payable from about 3 years of FCF or less, interest covered many times.
- 6. Is the price right?
—
FCF yield or EV/EBIT, and price against a cash-flow value
SGX companies don't file tagged figures with the SEC. We'll add them from annual reports.
We don't have the inputs to compare price and value yet.
What to look for Pay less than a cash-flow value estimate, with a margin of safety.
