Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's shares were split on a 1005:1000 basis on 14 July 2009. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1005 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 0.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company shares which in turn could have impacted Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's share price.

Valuing Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company shares trade at around 26x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6309. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$1,511.4 billion (£1,206.1 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$80.9529 up to US$157.7738. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's is 1.24. This would suggest that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Dividend payout ratio: 29.76% of net profits
Recently Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has paid out, on average, around 29.76% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.53% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company shareholders could enjoy a 1.53% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's case, that would currently equate to about $10 per share.
While Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's most recent dividend payout was on 10 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
