Not all AI leaders are overpriced<\/p>\n
There’s a lot of debate over whether AI stocks<\/a> are in a bubble, as the value of many tech stocks has soared over the past few years. But while some companies are likely overvalued, many are increasing sales and earnings quickly — and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM<\/a> 2.82%) is a great example of the latter.<\/p>\n Taiwan Semiconductor, also called TSMC, is the leading processor manufacturer with 70% global market share. In the fourth quarter, its sales rose 26% to $33.7 billion, and its earnings popped 35% to $3.14 per American depositary receipt.<\/p>\n TSMC benefits from its dominant position in AI processor manufacturing, and management estimates more growth this year, with sales expected to increase 30% in 2026 compared to last year. One thing that’s helping TSMC grow at such a steady pace is the company’s semiconductor manufacturing know-how, which has enabled it to stay ahead of Samsung and Intel. While other companies make similar processors, they can’t match TSMC’s efficiency.<\/p>\n But maybe one of the most impressive things about TSMC is that its stock is still relatively inexpensive. Taiwan Semiconductor’s shares have a price-to-earnings (P\/E) ratio of about 32, which is cheaper than the tech sector average P\/E ratio of 35.<\/p>\n Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing<\/p>\n Today’s Change<\/p>\n (-2.82%) $-9.55<\/p>\n Current Price<\/p>\n $329.24<\/p>\n Key Data Points<\/p>\n Market Cap<\/p>\n $1.7T<\/p>\n Day’s Range<\/p>\n $325.90 – $337.60<\/p>\n 52wk Range<\/p>\n $134.25 – $390.20<\/p>\n Volume<\/p>\n 17M<\/p>\n Avg Vol<\/p>\n 13M<\/p>\n Gross Margin<\/p>\n 58.73%<\/p>\n Dividend Yield<\/p>\n 1.02%<\/p>\n Don’t count this tech giant out<\/p>\n Alphabet (GOOGL<\/a> 2.01%) (GOOG<\/a> 2.27%) doesn’t have the same flashiness as some smaller AI stocks, but I believe the company has plenty going on that investors should be excited about.<\/p>\n For one, its Gemini chatbot had more than 750 million monthly active users at the end of 2025 — an increase of about 67% in six months– an impressive achievement amid a fiercely competitive AI agent race. What’s more, the company recently inked a multiyear deal<\/a> with Apple, reportedly worth several billions of dollars, that will make Gemini the underlying AI model for an upcoming Siri update.<\/p>\n![\"Taiwan](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1774162588_559_.png\"\/)
