A boom in demand for computer chips and a significant increase in the valuation of technology equities has led to an enormous increase in Taiwan Semiconductor's market capitalization. Taiwan Semiconductor's market capitalization is now almost $700 billion, up from $565 billion at the end of 2020 and around $100 billion at the start of 2015. Taiwan Semiconductor now has the largest weighting in many emerging market indexes, including the MSCI Emerging Markets index.

Unlike some recent IPOs and hot technology stocks, Taiwan Semiconductor has a robust fundamental business. In 2022, revenue is expected to increase to $63.3 billion, up from an estimated $54.7 billion in 2021. Net income in 2022 is estimated to be around $24 billion. However, Taiwan Semiconductor is no longer inexpensive on almost any valuation metric.
