0355 GMT - TSMC's advanced chips supply could remain tight for some time, Citi analysts say in a research note. Management reiterated during the earnings call that they are trying very hard to narrow the supply-demand gap. Despite the rising cost for more advanced nodes, Citi believes AI is positive for both its revenue and margin, reinforcing its ability to maintain industry-leading profitability through the cycle, the analysts say. For advanced packaging, the analysts think TSMC's capacity could reach 1.2 million-1.3 million wafers in 2026 and rise to 1.8 million-2 million in 2027. Citi maintains a buy call on TSMC and raises its target price to NT$2,600.00 from NT$2,450.00. Shares are last 2.7% higher at NT$1,735.00. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
