Why TSMC looks like a better long-term buy than Micron right now
Why TSMC looks like a better long-term buy than Micron right now
Micron (MU) and TSMC (TSM) have both seen massive gains from AI, up around 300% and 92% respectively over the last year. But looking ahead, TSM seems like the better long-term play.
Micron's current growth is mostly driven by a shortage in high-bandwidth memory chips. Since memory is essentially a commodity, prices will eventually drop once supply catches up, which analysts expect by 2028.
TSMC, on the other hand, makes almost all high-end AI chips and has a huge lead in R&D and manufacturing capacity. TSM trades at 24x earnings but projects 25% annualized revenue growth through 2029. Micron looks cheap at 6.5x forward earnings, but that is actually its normal fair value at the peak of its historical earnings cycles.

do you think the high-bandwidth memory demand will stay strong longer than 2028? Micron seems to be betting big on that timeline.
