Supply Chain Risk

TSMC faces a geopolitical risk discount that caps its fair value at $400 per share—7.3% below current levels—despite holding a central position in the AI chip supply chain. The company's concentrated Taiwan production creates a single-point-of-failure risk that outweighs record profits and dominant client relationships in AI infrastructure buildout.

Lumentum is delivering 30% below customer demand for photonics components critical to AI infrastructure, with all EML capacity locked in agreements through end-2027. The company's OCS backlog has surged past $400M, most shipping in H2, while capacity additions only widen the demand-supply gap.
