TSMC Profits Soar 60 Percent: Is Now the Time to Buy Amidst Geopolitical Clouds?

📈 Taiwan Semiconductor reported explosive Q1 2024 growth, with net income surging 60% and revenues up 35.3%, driven by high demand, particularly in AI-related high-performance computing.

🏭 The company boasts exceptionally strong margins (Gross: 59%, Operating: 48.5%, Net: 43%) and a high Return on Equity (33%), showcasing operational excellence despite high capital expenditures.

🌍 While possessing a formidable moat due to its technological lead (3nm chips) and high entry barriers, the stock faces significant geopolitical risks (China-Taiwan tensions, US policies) and trades at a valuation (15x P/E) considered reasonable but potentially vulnerable to market cycles.

UnitedHealth Plunges 25%: Bargain or Trap?

📉 UnitedHealth's stock dropped significantly following its earnings report due to higher-than-expected medical costs in the Medicare sector, leading to a cut in its full-year earnings guidance by about 15%.

📊 Despite the guidance cut, Q1 results showed revenue growth near 10% and operating profit growth of 15%, driven partly by reduced operating cost ratios, though net profit margins were impacted.

🤔 The company now trades at an estimated forward Price-to-Earnings (PER) ratio of 18, which appears attractive, but the complexity of the healthcare sector and uncertainty around future costs warrant caution.

American Express Pullback: Time to Consider This Financial Giant?

💳 American Express saw Q1 revenue grow 7%, driven by commissions and net interest income, though net profit grew slower at 6% due to higher customer engagement costs (rewards) rising 14%.

📈 Despite cost pressures, share buybacks boosted Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth to 9%, and the company maintained its full-year guidance for 8-10% revenue growth and faster EPS growth ($15.25 midpoint).

👍 AXP benefits from a high-quality, premium customer base with credit losses remaining controlled and below pre-pandemic levels, trading at an estimated forward PER of 16, which the speaker views more favorably due to perceived business predictability compared to UNH.

ASML’s Strategic Grip Tested by Geopolitics and Competition

🌍 ASML holds a near-monopolistic position in advanced lithography machines, crucial for high-end semiconductor manufacturing, making it strategically vital globally.

📉 Despite strong Q4 results with ~30% growth in sales and net income, the stock has fallen significantly due to concerns over future growth, particularly restrictions on sales to China, which recently accounted for over 40% of revenue.

⚠️ Significant risks include US pressure limiting sales to China and potential competition from companies like Huawei, challenging ASML's dominance and justifying caution despite a historically low valuation (around 26x PER).
