The shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Limited (NYSE: TSM) have received a $125 price target from Cowen. And Cowen analyst Krish Sankar increased the price target from $120 while maintaining a “Market Perform” rating on the shares.
Sankar had cited the company’s quarterly results as the reason for the adjusted rating. And Sankar explained that while a flight to quality should help the stock, the challenge is the lack of significant margin expansion.
