0145 GMT - TSMC should be able to maintain long-term structural growth thanks to its leading chips and advanced packaging technology, Citi analysts say in a research note. TSMC's 2-nanometer chips, which are scheduled for mass production in 2H, would require substantial manufacturing complexity and highly refined 3D process control, the analysts say. TSMC's long-standing expertise in process control, which is one of its core competitive advantages, should support it to "sell its value," the analysts say. Given the technology migration and TSMC's leading position, Citi expects TSMC's average selling prices to trend up with revenue growing at 15% and 24% in 2026 and 2027, respectively. Citi maintains a buy call on TSMC and raises its target price to NT$1,400.00 from NT$1,280.00. Shares are last at NT$1,155.00.(sherry.qin@wsj.com)
