Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) is one of the fastest-growing semiconductor stocks to buy.  As of December 5, the company is a consensus Buy and boasts an over 20% potential upside to the consensus 1-year median price target of $355.

On the operations side, on November 25, 2025, TSMC filed a civil lawsuit in Taiwan’s Intellectual Property & Commercial Court against former senior vice president Wei-Jen Lo, who joined Intel in October, citing non-compete and confidentiality obligations, as well as Taiwan’s Trade Secrets Act.

Reuters later reported that Taiwan’s prosecutors searched two of Lo’s residences on November 27 and seized devices; prosecutors said Lo is suspected under the National Security Act. Intel publicly denied the allegations and said it sees no merit to the claims.

Coverage in major outlets the same week emphasized TSMC’s contention of a “high probability” that sensitive process know-how could be disclosed, while noting Lo’s long tenure in advanced-node R&D and Intel’s stance that talent mobility is routine and governed by strict IP policies.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) is the world’s largest dedicated semiconductor foundry, manufacturing advanced logic chips for global customers across compute, mobile, and AI, with leading-edge nodes spanning 5nm, 3nm, and in development 2nm.
