TSMC stock forecast: Third-party targets
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSM) was trading at $276.65 at 4.55pm UTC on 25 September 2025, within an intraday range of $270.91–$282.95.
The stock closed below the daily high amid broad market weakness.
Support from AI chip demand has underpinned the stock’s position, with TSMC reporting 34% year-on-year revenue growth in August 2025. Analysts project third-quarter sales to rise by around 25%, reflecting continued artificial intelligence infrastructure spending. However, the semiconductor sector faces headwinds from a wider market reassessment of rate-cut expectations. US indexes fell to one-week lows as investors awaited new catalysts following this month’s record rally (Reuters, 25 September 2025).

Taiwan Semiconductor stock price: Technical overview
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSM) was trading at $276.65 at 4.55pm UTC on 25 September 2025, above its key moving-average cluster, with the 20/50/100/200-DMAs at approximately 256, 246, 227 and 207. The 20-over-50-day alignment remains in place, keeping the near-term trend constructive as price trades about 12% above longer-term averages.
Momentum remains firm, with the 14-day RSI at 68.57, indicating strength while staying below overbought territory. The Average Directional Index at 36.36 suggests an established trend, while the MACD level has generated a buy signal at 10.52.
The first upside level to monitor is the $282 classic pivot resistance; a sustained daily close above this could shift focus to the $258 area as the next reference point. On retracements, initial support is at the $234 classic pivot, followed by the 50-day SMA near $246. A break below this moving-average support would raise the risk of a deeper move towards the 100-day SMA around $227 (TradingView, 25 September 2025).
