One expert of note, Charlie Chan, says that the company has implemented an effective hunger marketing strategy. This, coupled with the fact that supply is going to become tighter and tighter for leading-edge foundries heading into 2025, puts TSM in a position to win.

JPMorgan also sees an upside in the stock, with experts expecting revenue guidance to come in higher on the earnings call as well. Analyst Gokul Hariharan says that the company will likely be upbeat on demand for AI acceleration, for which it's a key player.
