Keywords: CFO change, expense accrual, sector weakness
1. On October 7, 2026, the company's chief financial officer of 15 years, Michael Bishop, resigned, with Matthew Latino taking over, representing a major management change. The company reiterated its target to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027, but this objective depends on increased production capacity, conversion of backlogged orders, client deliveries, and effective implementation of cost-reduction measures.
2. On October 4, 2026, the company disclosed a $17 million expense accrual related to its agreement with Fit Energy. Subsequently, an investor law firm issued a notice about a securities class action, adding more uncertainty to financial and legal matters.
3. On October 7, 2026, Bloom Energy, Plug Power, and the Hydrogen Energy ETF all weakened simultaneously, putting pressure on the fuel cell sector. The Fit Energy project is currently still in the engineering design and remaining permitting stage, and the final order size and delivery schedule have yet to be fully determined.

Citi raises TSMC target price to 4,000 New Taiwan dollars, maintains Buy rating
Citi analysts stated in a research report that, driven by robust AI computing demand, the potential expansion of AI agents, and the rise of co-packaged optics (CPO) network cycles, TSMC’s revenue growth rate is expected to remain above 40% through 2027. The analysts noted that most AI chip clients, including Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom, anticipate accelerated growth, so TSMC’s AI-related revenue may nearly double next year. As a result, Citi expects the market will continue to raise earnings forecasts for TSMC. Citi pointed out that supported by the strong revenue outlook, TSMC’s capital expenditure could further rise to $81 billions in 2027 and $90 billions in 2028. Citi maintains a “Buy” rating on TSMC and has raised its target price from 3,800 to 4,000 New Taiwan dollars.
