TSM (TSM)

Secondary decision view: valuation · portfolio context · the data you need before acting on a single-source signal.
Neutral

TSM receives a NEUTRAL verdict as its expensive valuation and extreme distance from buyzone are partly offset by a green validation flag and a floor-based safety net.

  • PE percentile stands at 93.6% and PB percentile at 100%, both flagged as 'expensive', with the current price 358.8% above the buyzone floor.
  • A validation flag of 'green' and zero red alerts indicate no confirmed distress signals, and the price is only 4.6% above the calculated floor, offering some downside reference.
  • Volatility is high (IV rank 98.9%), and the floor carries 'medium' confidence with warnings, tempering any bullish or bearish tilt.
Verdict bucket from deterministic rule (validation / floor distance / risk alerts). LLM narration only — never picks the bucket.

Glossary (click to expand)
Forward P/E
P/E using analysts' next-12-month EPS estimates. More forward-looking than trailing P/E, but exposed to forecast error.
Trailing P/E
P/E using actual EPS from the last 12 months. Distorted by one-time events (asset sales, impairments) until they roll out of the window.
P/B (Price-to-Book)
Stock price / book value per share. Meaningful for asset-driven sectors (banks, insurers); high values are normal for asset-light sectors (tech, consumer).
PEG
P/E ÷ earnings growth rate — \"how much P/E you pay per 1% of growth\". <1 = cheap-ish, >2 = priced-in.
Regime-mismatch drawdown model
When P/E distribution undergoes a structural shift (business transformation, sector re-rating), traditional \"revert to historical P/E percentile\" misleads. This model uses historical max drawdown × current EPS instead.
EPV (Earnings Power Value)
Greenwald framework: assume zero growth + current earning power is sustainable. Yields a conservative lower bound (asset + franchise value).
Heuristic Fallback
Backup estimator used when the primary method (P/E percentile, yield reversion, etc.) is unreliable due to data issues. **Lower confidence** — reference only, not auto-execute.
Confidence
Primary method applicable → high; multiple methods agree → medium; single heuristic fallback → low. Low confidence means review before acting.

Is TSM (TSM) overvalued right now?

TSM (TSM) is currently trading at a trailing P/E of 36.8, sitting at the 94th percentile of its 5-year valuation history. A high percentile suggests the market is pricing the stock above its own historical norm — useful context before sizing a new position or selling premium against it.

TSM (TSM) — what's the SELL PUT risk profile?

Selling cash-secured puts on TSM (TSM) is a common income strategy, but the right strike depends on your floor price (the level you'd happily own at) and the option chain's buffer/APY tradeoff. The full ladder view (deferred to a future release) ranks candidates by buffer percentage first, then APY — see the option ladder methodology for why buffer matters more than yield in this strategy.

TSM (TSM) — which option strategy fits your view?

If you're bullish long-term but cautious near-term on TSM (TSM), SELL PUT into your floor zone collects premium while waiting for a better entry. If you already own it and are neutral-to-mildly-bullish, COVERED CALL caps upside but harvests time decay. The wrong strategy on the right ticker still loses money — match the trade to your view, not the other way around.

TSM (TSM) — is now a good entry?

Entry timing on TSM (TSM) is a function of your floor price (hard buy zone) and golden price (back-the-truck-up zone). Both are personal — set them in your watchlist and we'll alert you when the market hits either level.

FAQ

Why does TSM show different P/E numbers on different sites?

Different data providers use different earnings windows (TTM vs forward, GAAP vs adjusted) and update at different cadences. We surface trailing P/E with a 5-year percentile rank to give context — a P/E of 30 is hot for one stock and cold for another.

Does this page show TSM's implied volatility?

Not on this v0 page — the dedicated volatility tool covers IV with multi-source voting (IBKR + Polygon + yfinance). For pure IV lookup, use /tools/volatility. This page is for decision-stage queries that pull together valuation + portfolio context.

How is this different from Yahoo Finance or 雪球's TSM page?

Those sites are great for raw data discovery — last price, news, headline P/E. This page is built for the second look: you've already seen a single-dimension signal somewhere else, now you need multi-dimensional decision context (your floor, the valuation percentile, your portfolio overlay) in one view, not five tabs.
