Major Bank Ratings | Morgan Stanley: Maintains ASML European Stock Target Price at 1,400 Euros, Short-term Upside is Limited

10:36 AM EDT, 10/09/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's (TSM) Q3 revenue of NT$1.494 trillion ($46.77 billion) represented a roughly 3% beat versus the brokerage's prior estimate and consensus, compared with a 1% beat in the previous quarter, Wedbush said in a Friday note. With revenue ahead of the range, Wedbush expects the quarterly gross margin to at least meet the 66% midpoint of TSMC's 65% to 67% guidance and is more likely to exceed its 66.0% estimate given better utilization rates, according to the research note. Looking ahead, Wedbush expects Q4 sales of NT$1.599 trillion and sales growth of 41% in US dollars or 43% in Taiwanese dollars. Additionally, its gross margin estimate of 65.3% sits below the consensus estimate of 66.1%, with Wedbush saying it would not be surprised if Q4 gross-margin guidance ticks modestly lower on account of headwinds the chipmaker has previously mentioned. Wedbush maintained its outperform rating with an NT$3,000 price target. Price: 453.01, Change: -4.98, Percent Change: -1.09
