CHART BY AUTHOR.While revenue from gaming chips was only half of what it was a year ago, Nvidia's data center business grew 31% year over year in the fiscal 2023 third-quarter period ended Oct. 30, 2022. An investment in Nvidia now is a bet on growing contributions from automotive and AI customers, who have increasing needs in autonomy, robotics, and data analysis.And though Nvidia's dividend is minuscule compared to that of Taiwan Semi, the company has returned $9.3 billion to shareholders in the form ofshare repurchasesover the first nine months of fiscal 2023. That represented just over half of what has been authorized for buybacks through Dec. 2023.Nvidia and Taiwan Semi may not deserve the same share of a portfolio. A bet on Nvidia carries added risks that industries like autonomous vehicles and AI will mature and thrive. But for those willing to include a speculative investment with a lot of potential long-term upside, Nvidia's share price correction has now provided an opportunity.Taiwan Semi is a layup for long-term growthDaniel Foelber (Taiwan Semiconductor): Few companies hold a candle to Nvidia when it comes to dazzling growth and glamorous products. But what Taiwan Semi lacks in flare it more than makes up for with a lower valuation, a wider moat, and a higher dividend yield.Taiwan Semi has a dirt-cheap forward price-to-earnings ratio of just 13.4, a dividend yield of 2.3%, and a 47% operating margin -- beating Nvidia in all three categories.TSM PE RATIO (FORWARD) DATA BY YCHARTSNvidia is one of the most innovative companies in the semiconductor industry. But it's a far riskier business model than Taiwan Semi.Taiwan Semi is the world's largest pure-play chip foundry. You may be surprised to learn that a fabless chip maker like Nvidia doesn't actually make its own chips, much like Apple isn't actually making its iPhones. It relies on suppliers for that step.Nvidia -- like basically every major player in the game -- relies on Taiwan Semi to make a sizable chunk of its products. So Taiwan Semi isn't really a competitor with Nvidia. In fact, Nivida is one of its main customers.Instead, Taiwan Semi is competing with other chip foundries. The name of the game is providing services for the changing needs of customers at a low cost and a fast turnaround. Taiwan Semi isn't immune to competition. But no company comes close to its size and efficiency.In this vein, Taiwan Semi is a far safer bet on the growth of the industry than any other chip maker. With Taiwan Semi, you're investing in the growth of chip production and usage, whereas with Nvidia, you're investing in a company that you think will spearhead technological breakthroughs.For comparison, investing in a stock like Home Depot is a way to indirectly bet on the housing market instead of investing directly in a home builder. Or investing in Caterpillar is a good way to bet on construction, oil and gas, or mining instead of directly buying an exploration and production oil and gas stock.Nvidia stock could outperform Taiwan Semi if it continues to out-innovate its competitors. But that is a relatively riskier proposition than just going with Taiwan Semi, which has a far better risk/reward profile than Nvidia.Two good options worth considering nowNvidia and Taiwan Semi operate on different sides of the semiconductor industry. Nvidia has done a masterful job of diversifying its business to include gaming, datacenter, AI, and autonomous vehicles. But for now, the AI and autonomous vehicle side of its business remains a sideshow, while data center and gaming performance are highly cyclical. That being said, Nvidia is positioned to outlast downturns while still being able to invest in multi-decade trends.Meanwhile, Taiwan Semi is poised to continue outspending its competitors to retain its industry-leading manufacturing profile. As the industry evolves and becomes more complex, Taiwan Semi has the margins and cash flow necessary to make necessary improvements.Aside from being different companies, both stocks have contrasting investment theses. Nvidia offers arguably more upside with its potential to be a leader in industries that could unlock untold value. But it's also a more expensive stock that lacks a meaningful dividend yield. By contrast, Taiwan Semi should enjoy steady growth in lockstep with the overall industry.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9956530105,"gmtCreate":1674049246708,"gmtModify":1676538920200,"author":{"id":"4116569270341752","authorId":"4116569270341752","name":"valentia","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/64f8204fb4e5976eb0c1960943ccb2a2","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4116569270341752","authorIdStr":"4116569270341752"},"htmlText":"AMD or Nvidia?","listText":"AMD or Nvidia?","text":"AMD or Nvidia?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9956530105","repostId":2304351004,"repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2304351004","pubTimestamp":1674042636,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2304351004?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-01-18 19:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Buy: Nvidia vs. Taiwan Semiconductor Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2304351004","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These two chip giants are down big, but could be worth buying now.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>KEY POINTS</h2><ul><li>Nvidia isn&#39;t just about gaming anymore.</li><li>Taiwan Semi is the safest bet in the chip industry.</li><li>Both stocks could be worth buying now.</li></ul><p>Semiconductor companies are cyclical and heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors.

CHART BY AUTHOR.While revenue from gaming chips was only half of what it was a year ago, Nvidia's data center business grew 31% year over year in the fiscal 2023 third-quarter period ended Oct. 30, 2022.

But what Taiwan Semi lacks in flare it more than makes up for with a lower valuation, a wider moat, and a higher dividend yield.Taiwan Semi has a dirt-cheap forward price-to-earnings ratio of just 13.4, a dividend yield of 2.3%, and a 47% operating margin -- beating Nvidia in all three categories.TSM PE RATIO (FORWARD) DATA BY YCHARTSNvidia is one of the most innovative companies in the semiconductor industry. But it's a far riskier business model than Taiwan Semi.Taiwan Semi is the world's largest pure-play chip foundry. You may be surprised to learn that a fabless chip maker like Nvidia doesn't actually make its own chips, much like Apple isn't actually making its iPhones. It relies on suppliers for that step.Nvidia -- like basically every major player in the game -- relies on Taiwan Semi to make a sizable chunk of its products. So Taiwan Semi isn't really a competitor with Nvidia. In fact, Nivida is one of its main customers.Instead, Taiwan Semi is competing with other chip foundries. The name of the game is providing services for the changing needs of customers at a low cost and a fast turnaround. Taiwan Semi isn't immune to competition. But no company comes close to its size and efficiency.In this vein, Taiwan Semi is a far safer bet on the growth of the industry than any other chip maker. With Taiwan Semi, you're investing in the growth of chip production and usage, whereas with Nvidia, you're investing in a company that you think will spearhead technological breakthroughs.For comparison, investing in a stock like Home Depot is a way to indirectly bet on the housing market instead of investing directly in a home builder. Or investing in Caterpillar is a good way to bet on construction, oil and gas, or mining instead of directly buying an exploration and production oil and gas stock.Nvidia stock could outperform Taiwan Semi if it continues to out-innovate its competitors. But that is a relatively riskier proposition than just going with Taiwan Semi, which has a far better risk/reward profile than Nvidia.Two good options worth considering nowNvidia and Taiwan Semi operate on different sides of the semiconductor industry. Nvidia has done a masterful job of diversifying its business to include gaming, datacenter, AI, and autonomous vehicles. But for now, the AI and autonomous vehicle side of its business remains a sideshow, while data center and gaming performance are highly cyclical. That being said, Nvidia is positioned to outlast downturns while still being able to invest in multi-decade trends.Meanwhile, Taiwan Semi is poised to continue outspending its competitors to retain its industry-leading manufacturing profile. As the industry evolves and becomes more complex, Taiwan Semi has the margins and cash flow necessary to make necessary improvements.Aside from being different companies, both stocks have contrasting investment theses. Nvidia offers arguably more upside with its potential to be a leader in industries that could unlock untold value. But it's also a more expensive stock that lacks a meaningful dividend yield. By contrast, Taiwan Semi should enjoy steady growth in lockstep with the overall industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9956591146,"gmtCreate":1674046409786,"gmtModify":1676538919624,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","vip":1,"crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"htmlText":"Already started a position in TSM..

With Taiwan Semi, you're investing in the growth of chip production and usage, whereas with Nvidia, you're investing in a company that you think will spearhead technological breakthroughs.For comparison, investing in a stock like Home Depot is a way to indirectly bet on the housing market instead of investing directly in a home builder. Or investing in Caterpillar is a good way to bet on construction, oil and gas, or mining instead of directly buying an exploration and production oil and gas stock.Nvidia stock could outperform Taiwan Semi if it continues to out-innovate its competitors. But that is a relatively riskier proposition than just going with Taiwan Semi, which has a far better risk/reward profile than Nvidia.Two good options worth considering nowNvidia and Taiwan Semi operate on different sides of the semiconductor industry. Nvidia has done a masterful job of diversifying its business to include gaming, datacenter, AI, and autonomous vehicles. But for now, the AI and autonomous vehicle side of its business remains a sideshow, while data center and gaming performance are highly cyclical. That being said, Nvidia is positioned to outlast downturns while still being able to invest in multi-decade trends.Meanwhile, Taiwan Semi is poised to continue outspending its competitors to retain its industry-leading manufacturing profile. As the industry evolves and becomes more complex, Taiwan Semi has the margins and cash flow necessary to make necessary improvements.Aside from being different companies, both stocks have contrasting investment theses. Nvidia offers arguably more upside with its potential to be a leader in industries that could unlock untold value. But it's also a more expensive stock that lacks a meaningful dividend yield. By contrast, Taiwan Semi should enjoy steady growth in lockstep with the overall industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9956857325,"gmtCreate":1673970155967,"gmtModify":1676538910704,"author":{"id":"4127625745778862","authorId":"4127625745778862","name":"mavis88","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/02b482b2c40d0e87999261caefcc5e95","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b073a07f77dbe6b3bec6b12311fde6bd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4127625745778862","authorIdStr":"4127625745778862"},"htmlText":"Thanks for sharing&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks for sharing&nbsp;","text":"Thanks for sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9956857325","repostId":2304351004,"repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2304351004","pubTimestamp":1674042636,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2304351004?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-01-18 19:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Buy: Nvidia vs. Taiwan Semiconductor Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2304351004","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These two chip giants are down big, but could be worth buying now.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>KEY POINTS</h2><ul><li>Nvidia isn&#39;t just about gaming anymore.</li><li>Taiwan Semi is the safest bet in the chip industry.</li><li>Both stocks could be worth buying now.</li></ul><p>Semiconductor companies are cyclical and heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors.

But it's a far riskier business model than Taiwan Semi.Taiwan Semi is the world's largest pure-play chip foundry. You may be surprised to learn that a fabless chip maker like Nvidia doesn't actually make its own chips, much like Apple isn't actually making its iPhones. It relies on suppliers for that step.Nvidia -- like basically every major player in the game -- relies on Taiwan Semi to make a sizable chunk of its products. So Taiwan Semi isn't really a competitor with Nvidia. In fact, Nivida is one of its main customers.Instead, Taiwan Semi is competing with other chip foundries.

With Taiwan Semi, you're investing in the growth of chip production and usage, whereas with Nvidia, you're investing in a company that you think will spearhead technological breakthroughs.For comparison, investing in a stock like Home Depot is a way to indirectly bet on the housing market instead of investing directly in a home builder. Or investing in Caterpillar is a good way to bet on construction, oil and gas, or mining instead of directly buying an exploration and production oil and gas stock.Nvidia stock could outperform Taiwan Semi if it continues to out-innovate its competitors. But that is a relatively riskier proposition than just going with Taiwan Semi, which has a far better risk/reward profile than Nvidia.Two good options worth considering nowNvidia and Taiwan Semi operate on different sides of the semiconductor industry. Nvidia has done a masterful job of diversifying its business to include gaming, datacenter, AI, and autonomous vehicles. But for now, the AI and autonomous vehicle side of its business remains a sideshow, while data center and gaming performance are highly cyclical. That being said, Nvidia is positioned to outlast downturns while still being able to invest in multi-decade trends.Meanwhile, Taiwan Semi is poised to continue outspending its competitors to retain its industry-leading manufacturing profile. As the industry evolves and becomes more complex, Taiwan Semi has the margins and cash flow necessary to make necessary improvements.Aside from being different companies, both stocks have contrasting investment theses.

But that is a relatively riskier proposition than just going with Taiwan Semi, which has a far better risk/reward profile than Nvidia.Two good options worth considering nowNvidia and Taiwan Semi operate on different sides of the semiconductor industry. Nvidia has done a masterful job of diversifying its business to include gaming, datacenter, AI, and autonomous vehicles. But for now, the AI and autonomous vehicle side of its business remains a sideshow, while data center and gaming performance are highly cyclical. That being said, Nvidia is positioned to outlast downturns while still being able to invest in multi-decade trends.Meanwhile, Taiwan Semi is poised to continue outspending its competitors to retain its industry-leading manufacturing profile. As the industry evolves and becomes more complex, Taiwan Semi has the margins and cash flow necessary to make necessary improvements.Aside from being different companies, both stocks have contrasting investment theses. Nvidia offers arguably more upside with its potential to be a leader in industries that could unlock untold value. But it's also a more expensive stock that lacks a meaningful dividend yield. By contrast, Taiwan Semi should enjoy steady growth in lockstep with the overall industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":105590745,"gmtCreate":1673964888120,"gmtModify":1673964901160,"authorId":3581501341719005,"author":{"id":3581501341719005,"idStr":"3581501341719005","authorId":3581501341719005,"name":"KYBoo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/43072e3bdf1be8a6c0fb9e0d7c8a0558","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":9956885246,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>jj</u>","text":"<u>jj</u>","html":"<u>jj</u>"}],"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":106,"commentSize":7,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
