From FY2025 market data
Price to earnings is 39.92x at the close of 2026-11-12 on FY2025 figures; the lines are 15.00x (Graham's defensive ceiling) and, by market convention, 10.00x, 25.00x and 40.00x, and this sits between 25.00x and 40.00x.
Today, against the Semiconductors industry (51 companies), 39.92x sits at the 38th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 31.27x to 97.03x.
Return on invested capital was 44.3% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Exceptional" (20.0% and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting returns on the capital in the business well above the usual cost of that capital.
Today, against the Semiconductors industry (36 companies), 44.3% sits at the 88th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -0.3% to 14.3%.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited held more cash than debt at the end of FY2025 (net cash of 1,695.5bn TWD), so net debt to EBITDA is a net cash position rather than a leverage reading.
These are TSM’s filed figures. The research desk says what they mean, against peers and its own years, with what to check next.

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2025, the newest full year on file. 9 filed fiscal years on record, FY2016 to FY2024, from SEC EDGAR. Prices as of Nov 12, 2026. Ratios recomputed Nov 12, 2026. Two facts, because a recompute is not a fresh quote.
The year and the filing date name the statement each figure’s accounts are read from, and they stand even where the figure itself could not be computed: the line beneath a blank says what that statement did not carry. A figure’s name opens its formula and the filings behind it; a statement that names no SEC filing has no filing date, and reads n/a.
10 fiscal years, FY2016 to FY2025. 9 read from the annual reports Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited filed with the SEC, each naming its filing; the rest from statements that name none, which are market data. Amounts in TWD, as reported.

Whether anybody here owns this company.
Positions declared by Javier Sanz Alvarez: no holding in any company shown here, as of October 3, 2026.
A thesis is your reason for owning it, in your words, with the figures that must stay true. Checking those figures every night against the newest filed accounts, and telling you once when one breaks, is what the subscription adds.
And the one that is true of all of it: This is what the numbers say today. It cannot tell you the day one of them stops being true. Nothing here can, because the reasons are not written down.
Then we check your line against newly filed data and write to you the night our data shows it broke. The check runs every night at 23:30 UTC. A filing is picked up the night after it is published. It is Professional, the plan a new account starts on for 30 days, one trial per person.

ValueScreener · valuescreener.ai · Computed from accounts this company filed with the SEC for 9 of 10 fiscal years, read from EDGAR; the newest year is read from a statement that names no SEC filing, which is market data.
