Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited's share was trading at $330.56 as of January 30th. TSM’s trailing and forward P/E were 31.51 and 25.32 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. Photo by Yogesh Phuyal on Unsplash Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is the world’s leading contract chipmaker and the dominant producer of the most advanced chips, serving high-profile clients such as Nvidia, AMD, Apple, Qualcomm, and Broadcom. The AI-driven boom has created unprecedented demand for these chips, positioning TSMC as a critical supplier in the global technology ecosystem. Its high-performance computing (HPC) segment now accounts for 55% of revenue, up from 34% 18 months ago, reflecting the secular and resilient demand from hyperscalers like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle, which contrasts with the cyclical consumer markets. TSMC’s 4Q 2025 results highlighted a 35% increase in profit, driven by strong double-digit revenue growth and expanding gross margins, which reached 62.3%, underscoring the company’s quasi-monopolistic position in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. TSMC is expanding globally, with fabs operational or under construction in the U.S., Japan, and Germany, supported by government subsidies but facing higher costs and initial yield inefficiencies outside Taiwan. Despite this, margins continued to rise in 2025, offset by increased pricing power and capacity utilization. The company plans a capital expenditure of $52–56 billion in 2026 to support the rollout of 2nm technologies, which will initially dilute margins but strengthen long-term production capabilities. Over the next five years, TSMC expects overall revenue growth of 25% CAGR and AI accelerator revenue to grow mid-to-high 50% CAGR, supported by its technology differentiation a...

The Spanish figure skater Tomàs-Llorenç Guarino Sabaté faces a last-minute scramble to redesign his Olympic short program after a copyright dispute blocked him from using music from the Minions franchise just days before competition begins at the Milano Cortina Winter Games. The six-time Spanish national champion from Barcelona, who is set to make his Olympic debut in the men’s singles event, said he learned late last week that the routine he has performed throughout the 2025-26 season would not be cleared for Olympic use. Guarino Sabaté said he had submitted the music through the International Skating Union’s recommended rights-clearance process months ago and had competed with the program without issue during the season, including at last month’s European championships in Sheffield. The ruling means the 26-year-old must now adapt or replace choreography he has refined for months, a daunting task in a sport where musical timing and muscle memory are inseparable. “Finding this out so close to the biggest competition of my life was incredibly disappointing,” Guarino Sabaté said in a social media post. “Nevertheless, I will face this challenge head-on and do everything I can to make the best of the situation.” The routine, built around music from the popular animated film franchise, had become a signature for the Spanish skater. He regularly performed wearing a yellow shirt and blue overalls reminiscent of the film characters, leaning into a playful, crowd-friendly style he said was designed to show that men’s figure skating can balance technical difficulty with humor and personality. Rights to the Minions property are controlled by Illumination and parent studio Universal Pictures. It was not immediately clear which specific licensing hurdle ultimately blocked Olympic clearance, but music licensing in figure skating has grown increasingly labyrinthine in recent years, particularly as the sport has shifted toward contemporary popular music. At last year’s world champi...

Investors were cheered not only by solid quarterly results but also by the company's upcoming asset buy. Monday was quite the eventful day for bank holding company Columbia Financial (CLBK +8.91%). It published its latest set of fundamentals and announced the acquisition of a peer. Investors clearly considered both developments to be positive, as they traded Columbia's stock up by nearly 9% that trading session. A memorable Monday The first of those two was the acquisition announcement. Columbia divulged that it has agreed to acquire peer Northfield Bancorp. The deal is valued at roughly $597 million and, according to the buyer, it will create the third-largest regional bank headquartered in New Jersey. All told, the combined company will have $18 billion in assets. Shortly after that news was made public, Columbia unveiled its final set of results for 2025. For the fourth quarter, the company's total revenue more than tripled from the same period of 2024 to almost $69 million, although that large gain was affected by a relatively steep loss on securities transactions in the year-ago quarter. Meanwhile, net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) landed at just under $15.7 million, or $0.15 per share, contrasting sharply with the more than $21 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2024. In its earnings release, Columbia quoted CEO Thomas Kemly as saying that the improvements "reflect our strategies of focusing on margin expansion, improving our asset mix by continuing to expand commercial lending, efficiency improvement through technology and investing in the infrastructure required for sustainable growth."

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The following segment was excerpted from the Sequoia Fund ( SEQUX ) Q4 2025 Shareholder Letter. Shares in Charles Schwab Corp. ("Schwab") returned 37% in 2025. The company grew revenue by over 20% and earnings per share by nearly 50% for the year. At the most fundamental level, Schwab's business performance last year was less dramatic than these growth figures might suggest. The company gathered net new client assets at a nice mid-single-digit clip, which is broadly consistent with the sort of net new asset growth that has powered Schwab's franchise over the decades. Market growth, which over time and through cycles provides an additional boost to Schwab's asset growth, happened to provide a particularly significant boost this year. At year-end 2025, the company's total client assets stood at $11.9 trillion, up approximately 18% versus prior year. Last year, Schwab's total revenue grew faster than its base of client assets did, thanks primarily to particularly robust growth in net interest income. Given the fixed cost nature of Schwab's business, this additional net interest income and all the other additional revenue flowed through at high incremental margins, which is what drove the outsized growth in the company's earnings in 2025. Net interest income generally accounts for roughly half of Schwab's revenue, and it is a line item that investors have been staring at intently over the past few years. When interest rates began to rise rapidly in 2022, the expectation was that Schwab would end up making more net interest income. Clients would predictably "sort" out of low-yielding cash sweep deposits and into higher-yielding money market funds, but the spread that the company would earn on the remaining cash sweep deposits would more than make up for it. The situation ended up playing out very differently than expected. For starters, the magnitude by which and the rapidity with which interest rates rose led to a correspondin...
California Plans "Mileage Tax" To Bleed Citizens For Even More Cash Lawmakers in the California State Assembly have moved to direct the Transportation Commission to prepare a study on the effects of a road charge for delivery to the legislature.

California Plans "Mileage Tax" To Bleed Citizens For Even More Cash Lawmakers in the California State Assembly have moved to direct the Transportation Commission to prepare a study on the effects of a road charge for delivery to the legislature. A road charge is a program that imposes fees based on the number of miles each citizen drives over a specified period, and is designed to offset gas tax losses from the wider use of electric cars on California roads. In 2014, California passed Senate Bill 1077, authorizing a “Road Usage Charge Technical Advisory Committee” to explore whether the state could replace its gas tax with a mileage-driven tax. The project was based on the assumption that "cleaner vehicles" and a potential zero-emission future would lead to dwindling gas tax revenues. The state has been running road charge pilot programs since 2016. Last year, a pilot project concluded where mileage rates were set at 2.5 cents per mile for light-duty vehicles, such as cars, and other vehicles weighing less than 10,000 pounds. The rate for heavy-duty vehicles is dependent on their weight. Today, proponents complain that implementation is not going fast enough. The latest bill is being called an "extension" of the pilot project and not a move to pass the actual tax. Democrats assert that Republicans are interfering with the project and misrepresenting its intent. However, taxes based on climate ideology are often kept on the shelf by exploratory committees, waiting for politically opportune moments to pass them quickly with minimal public opposition or debate. The Democrats are simply biding their time. It is not clear yet when the mileage tax will be made official or if it will replace the gas tax; it is far more likely that both taxes would ultimately exist in tandem. Republicans argue that the tax is unfair to residents of rural counties where driving distances are much greater and gas vehicles are common. The tax is useful, though, for climate "re-wilding": The gl...
