The company is a critical supplier to U.S. technology giants likeApple(AAPL) andQualcomm(QCOM) and Chinese companies like Huawei Technologies. TSMC’s stock is widely held across the globe, and for good reason. It has returned an annualized 29% over the past decade.</p>\n<p>But TSMC shares are now caught up in a rare correction. The stock is down 15% since mid-February. Investors should avoid the temptation to buy on the dip, at least for now. A confluence of factors could make the next couple of quarters bumpy enough to give long-term investors a chance to scoop up shares of the tech juggernaut at an even cheaper price.</p>\n<p>To be sure, the long-term opportunity hasn’t changed. If oil was the crucial commodity of the past,semiconductors are the critical commodity of the future—and TSMC is a leader in making the advanced chips needed for 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and electric vehicles.</p>\n<p>Founded in 1987, the Taiwanese company accounts for roughly 60% of outsourced chip manufacturing and 90% of the profits.

The company is a critical supplier to U.S. technology giants likeApple(AAPL) andQualcomm(QCOM) and Chinese companies like Huawei Technologies. TSMC’s stock is widely held across the globe, and for good reason. It has returned an annualized 29% over the past decade.\nBut TSMC shares are now caught up in a rare correction. The stock is down 15% since mid-February. Investors should avoid the temptation to buy on the dip, at least for now. A confluence of factors could make the next couple of quarters bumpy enough to give long-term investors a chance to scoop up shares of the tech juggernaut at an even cheaper price.\nTo be sure, the long-term opportunity hasn’t changed. If oil was the crucial commodity of the past,semiconductors are the critical commodity of the future—and TSMC is a leader in making the advanced chips needed for 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and electric vehicles.\nFounded in 1987, the Taiwanese company accounts for roughly 60% of outsourced chip manufacturing and 90% of the profits. TSMC has made significant investment in its foundries, helping it manufacture ever-denser chips that generate more power while using less energy. RivalIntel(INTC) has struggled to match that success.\nEven the lone analyst with a Sell rating on TSMC stock sings the company’s praises: “This is an A-plus company with solid management,” says Mehdi Hosseini, senior equity analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group, who has covered TSMC for more than 20 years.

Some money managers caution that near-term demand may not live up to analysts’ rosy forecasts for the next couple of quarters. Also, increased spending by TSMC and its rivals to meet a surge in demand could dent profit margins.\nMeanwhile, escalating geopolitical tensions put Taiwan, a self-ruled democracy that China considers a province, and its most important company in a fraught position.\nDaiwa Capital Markets analyst Rick Hsu is concerned that the chip shortage—which has hobbled automotive plants and sent gamers scrambling to find new consoles—could create inventory-related issues in the first half of 2022.\nHsu toldBarron’sin an email that TSMC’s stock needs to shed another 15%, to about $100, to adequately reflect the current risk profile.

Its smaller rival for decades has been Advanced Micro Devices Inc. , which has made big strides in the past few years under CEO Lisa Su.</p><p>PC manufacturers and users have their preferences. For investors, Advanced Micro Devices <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">$(AMD)$</a> has been the clear winner. But Intel <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">$(INTC)$</a> has a tremendous R&amp;D budget, has been an excellent cash-flow grower and has enjoyed decades of dominance in its main area of business.</p><p><b>Where Intel and AMD fit in</b></p><p>\"Intel is the main supplier of x86 processors and the dominant supplier of x86 server CPUs for data center applications,\" according to Dean McCarron, president of Mercury Research, a provider of PC industry data. Most PCs using x86 processors run Microsoft Corp.'s <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">$(MSFT)$</a> Windows operating system.</p><p>Mercury Research provides market-share data based on unit shipments. Here is its worldwide breakdown for overall x86 CPU market share for the first quarter, with comparisons to the previous and year-earlier quarters:</p><p>Intel remains the leader, but you can see that for the first quarter, AMD's market share increased tremendously from a year earlier. Then again, AMD's first-quarter share was down a bit from the previous quarter.</p><p>For graphics processing units (GPUs), AMD competes with Nvidia Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">$(NVDA)$</a>.</p><p>\"In the conventional graphics market, Nvidia is dominant, but AMD is also respectably large,\" McCarron said.</p><p>According to Mercury Research, Nvidia's share in the conventional GPU market was 81%, with a 19% market share for AMD in the fourth quarter (the most recent for which unit sales data is available).</p><p>Competition for data-center GPUs is expected to heat up. Again, Nvidia dominates, as AMD's market share is less than 10%, according to McCarron. But Intel is expected to begin shipping its own data-center GPUs, code-named Ponte Vecchio, in the fourth quarter or early in 2022.</p><p><b>Key metrics</b></p><p><b>1、Size and sales</b></p><p>Here are the companies' sizes by market capitalization and sales, with all figures in millions:</p><p>These numbers are fascinating, as they show how much more the stock market values AMD relative to sales. If we divide AMD's current market cap by first-quarter sales (annualized), we have a price-to-sales ratio of 6.9, against 2.9 for Intel.</p><p>The next chart will help explain why.</p><p><b>2、Sales growth and profitability</b></p><p>Here's a look at both companies' sales growth for the first quarter from the year-earlier quarter, along with gross margins and operating margins.</p><p>Here AMD is the big winner, with first-quarter sales nearly doubling from a year earlier. The overall market is growing and both companies' sales are increasing, but AMD is giving investors what they want.</p><p>A company's gross margin is its net sales, less the cost of goods or services sold, divided by sales. Net sales exclude returns and discounts. The cost of goods or services sold includes the actual costs for making the items sold or providing the services sold. It doesn't reflect other overhead expenses. It is a useful measurement of pricing power, and a combination of high sales growth and improved gross margin is a good sign.</p><p>Intel's first-quarter gross margin narrowed, while AMD's widened.</p><p>A company's operating margin is its earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation divided by net sales. It can be considered \"return on sales.\"</p><p>When comparing the first quarter of 2021 with the year-earlier quarter, you can see a significant narrowing of Intel's operating margin and improvement for AMD's operating margin.</p><p>One advantage of Intel under CEO Pat Gelsinger, who took up his new position in February, is that Intel can spend so much more on research and development. During the first quarter, Intel spent $3.62 billion on R&amp;D, while AMD spent $610 million.</p><p>You can read more about Gelsinger's strategy and challenges here .</p><p><b>3、Free cash flow</b></p><p>A company's free cash flow <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FCF\">$(FCF)$</a> is its remaining cash flow after planned capital expenditures. A company's free cash flow yield can be calculated by dividing the past 12 months' free cash flow per share by the current share price.</p><p>This chart shows both companies have grown free cash flow over the past three full years, and that Intel has a much higher FCF yield than AMD:</p><p>Intel's FCF yield of 8.11% shows the company has plenty of \"headroom\" above its current dividend yield, which is 2.44%. (AMD doesn't pay a dividend.) So Intel is better-positioned than AMD to deploy more cash through expansion, share buybacks or dividend increases.</p><p>Intel made both the three- and five-year lists of free-cash-flow compounders, which you can see here .</p><p><b>4、Stock valuation and performance</b></p><p>Here are forward price-to-earnings ratios based on consensus earnings estimates for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet, along with total return figures:</p><p>Intel has shined this year, as AMD has pulled back. Intel is also far cheaper when you look at forward price-to-earnings ratios. Those are based on current share prices and consensus earnings estimates for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet. In comparison, forward P/Es are 21.5 for the S&amp;P 500 Index , 27 for the Invesco QQQ Trust <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QQQ\">$(QQQ)$</a> (which tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index) and 20.3 for the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EEME\">iShares</a> PHLX Semiconductor ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOXX\">$(SOXX)$</a>.</p><p>If you review longer periods, AMD has been the clear outperformer, until you look at the 15-year figures.</p><p>These companies have been competing for the PC CPU market for decades. Here's a 20-year total-return chart:</p><p><b>And 30 years:</b></p><p>You can see from the 20- and 30-year charts that these rivals and swung back and forth in the eyes of investors repeatedly.</p><p><b>Wall Street's opinion</b></p><p>AMD is the favorite among analysts at brokerage firms, who expect great things for the stock over the next 12 months:</p><p>So there you have a clear contrast -- AMD is the up-and-comer, and it has been that way for decades. Intel's stock is cheaply priced to expected earnings, the company has a new CEO with a new strategy and is trying to move into new areas.

They say that a military conflict between China and Taiwan is an all-bets-are-off event that would rattle entire markets, not just TSMC stock.\nTSMC declined to comment on politics beyond stating that it was a “law-abiding company” focused on serving its customers.\nThe risks don’t change the fact that semiconductors have never been more important.\n“Valuations in quality growth names such as TSMC have clearly gone up, in part because demand for semiconductors is elevated, while at the same time there is quite a serious shortage of them,” says Martin Lau, managing partner at $37 billion FSSA Investment Managers, which is focused on Asia-Pacific and emerging market strategies.\nAnd yet, “cyclically, this is not the best time to buy TSMC, and the near-term margin of safety has fallen,” he adds. “We remain positive in the longer term.”\nInvestors just have to pick the right entry point.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":736,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":376649900,"gmtCreate":1619116427400,"gmtModify":1704719913640,"author":{"id":"3574074836050327","authorId":"3574074836050327","name":"ChangSheng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d5edf931caae28cc3fd1062d58028bf","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574074836050327","authorIdStr":"3574074836050327"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is it good to buy now?","listText":"Is it good to buy now?","text":"Is it good to buy now?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/376649900","repostId":"1172040780","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":610,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119820980,"gmtCreate":1622536434740,"gmtModify":1704185830070,"author":{"id":"3574074836050327","authorId":"3574074836050327","name":"ChangSheng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d5edf931caae28cc3fd1062d58028bf","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574074836050327","authorIdStr":"3574074836050327"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I will buy Intel","listText":"I will buy Intel","text":"I will buy Intel","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/119820980","repostId":"2138149680","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2138149680","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1622074620,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138149680?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-27 08:17","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Intel vs. AMD -- should you buy either stock now?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138149680","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"AMD has been an outperformer for years, but Intel is still a dominant presence.Despite its woes, Int","content":"<p>AMD has been an outperformer for years, but Intel is still a dominant presence.</p><p>Despite its woes, Intel Corp. remains the largest provider of core processors for \"x86\" PCs and servers.

Here is its worldwide breakdown for overall x86 CPU market share for the first quarter, with comparisons to the previous and year-earlier quarters:</p><p>Intel remains the leader, but you can see that for the first quarter, AMD's market share increased tremendously from a year earlier.

(AMD doesn't pay a dividend.) So Intel is better-positioned than AMD to deploy more cash through expansion, share buybacks or dividend increases.</p><p>Intel made both the three- and five-year lists of free-cash-flow compounders, which you can see here .</p><p><b>4、Stock valuation and performance</b></p><p>Here are forward price-to-earnings ratios based on consensus earnings estimates for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet, along with total return figures:</p><p>Intel has shined this year, as AMD has pulled back.
