TSM beats again on reset expectations, sector tailwinds support

TSM has beaten 4 consecutive quarters with +6.7% average surprise, and estimates have been revised down 11.2% ($2.31 → $2.05), lowering the bar for another beat. Sell-the-news probability is only 35% (LOW), and priced-in risk is 0.15, indicating the market has already discounted caution. The 15% 1m pullback has reset valuation (18% below 52w high), while sector tailwinds (20% capex growth, peer strength) and 67% bullish signal consensus support a positive reaction.
