ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood has placed a $1.89 million wager on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), acquiring 5,542 shares on January 16. The move follows TSMC's Stellar fourth-quarter earnings, which saw net income surge 35% year-over-year to $16 billion, handily beating analyst estimates.

The chipmaker's bullish 2026 outlook includes capital expenditures of $52-$56 billion—far exceeding 2025's $40.9 billion—and projected 30% revenue growth fueled by insatiable demand for AI chips from cloud providers. Wall Street responded with raised price targets, including BofA Securities' $470 valuation.

TSMC's dominance in advanced chip manufacturing positions it as a critical enabler of artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company's $33.73 billion quarterly revenue reflects the semiconductor industry's pivotal role in technological transformation.
