Morgan Stanley has identified significant risks for TSMC related to a potential joint venture with Intel, which could hinder TSMC's operational control and technological lead. The investment bank maintains an Outperform rating for TSMC, with a price target of NT$1,388, but notes that the joint venture poses the largest threat to share performance, overshadowing concerns about AI demand and potential tariffs. TSMC's shares currently trade at NT$952, and a clear denial of the joint venture could lead to a price increase, contingent on strong AI product demand.
