Semicap in 2025: All the headwinds the Street ignores

Wall Street is ignoring a number of headwinds blowing over WFE spending in 2025: Intel and Samsung giving up on their ambitious plans, China normalizing, lack of a recovery in trailing-edge logic, and only a measured recovery in memory spending. On balance, we expect WFE spending to increase by 3% next year, 9% below consensus expectations of 13% growth, resulting in 5-7% downside on revenues and 6-12% on earnings for the top 5 equipment vendors.

Semicap sector update: 2025 rebound excessively anticipated. We stay ...

WFE spending will grow 5% this year, with Chinese spending hiding a full cyclical downcycle in the rest of the world. Consensus forecasts 2025 in line with the 4Q24 run-rate and up nearly 20% vs. 2024; we see downside risk and expect 2025 growth, but only in the low-teens. Beyond 2025, visibility is still low. Multiples have compressed in absolute terms and relative to semis, but with likely negative revisions in revenue and earnings in 2025 there could be further downside. We see no reason to...

TSMC in 2025 (II): We also expect a beat on margins Buy, NT$ 1,375

Two weeks ago, we published a deep dive on TSMC’s revenue growth outlook for 2025. We see material upside: while consensus expects ~24% growth, we expect nearly 30%, without relying on beats in datacenter AI. Today, we publish a second instalment focused on TSMC’s margin profile. We expect a beat on gross margins next year, primarily driven by higher utilization and an easing of the headwind related to the ramp of N3, partially offset by the ramp of foreign fabs and N2. Overall, we expect gross...

TSMC in 2025: the #1 growth driver won’t be AI! Buy, NT$ 1,300.

In 2025, consensus expects ~24% revenue growth for TSMC. We expect nearly 30%. Wall Street is likely overlooking TSMC’s #1 growth driver for next year: share gains in CPUs. With Intel increasing outsourcing to TSMC, AMD gaining share from Intel, and Arm gaining share from x86, we estimate TSMC’s CPU revenues will increase by $6.8 billion in 2025, exceeding the growth driven by datacenter AI or smartphones. TSMC is one of our top picks, and this idea has the advantage of not relying on continued ...
