If You Bought TSMC Stock 10 Years Ago

The company's stock traded at approximately $22.60 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 442 shares. Currently, shares trade at $214.79, meaning your investment's value could have grown to $95,040 from stock price appreciation alone. However, TSMC also paid dividends during these 10 years. 

TSMC's dividend yield is currently 1.29%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $15.92 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $7,044 from dividends alone. 

Summing up $95,040 and $7,044, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $102,084. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in TSMC stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 1,020.84%. In comparison, S&P 500 total return for the same period is 233.29%.

What Could The Next 10 Years Bring? 

TSMC has a consensus rating of "Buy" and a price target of $200.8 based on the ratings of six analysts. The price target implies more than 6% potential downside from the current stock price.

On Jan. 16, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting fourth-quarter revenue of $26.88 billion (NT$868.46 billion), up 38.8% year-over-year, topping the analyst consensus estimate of $26.28 billion, as reported by Benzinga.

Net income and earnings per share were NT$374.68 billion and NT$14.45 per share ($2.24), respectively, compared to the analyst consensus of $2.23.

Taiwan Semiconductor is guided for first-quarter 2025 revenue of $25.0 billion –$25.8 billion versus the $24.97 billion consensus estimate. It expects a gross margin of 57% – 59% and operating profit margins of 46.5% – 48.5%.

The company earmarked fiscal 2025 capex worth $38 billion-$42 billion (versus $29.8 billion a year ago) amid intensifying geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China. The former is eyeing tougher artificial intelligence technology restrictions on the latter, citing national security concerns.

Given the expected downside potential, growth-focused investors may not find TSMC stock attractive. Moreover, the stock won't likely appeal to income-focused investors with a dividend yield of just 1.29%.
