ConocoPhillips' LNG strategy is pivotal, targeting doubled free cash flow by 2029, but requires disciplined capital allocation amid potential market oversupply risks.

Is Intel The Next TSMC? — Neutral

INTC  TSM   Seeking Alpha — August 20, 2025

TSMC is a clear leader in advanced chip manufacturing, benefiting from AI-driven demand and strong client relationships, in my opinion, justifying its premium valuation. TSMC's global expansion and U.S. investments help mitigate geopolitical risks, positioning it well for long-term growth despite tariff uncertainties. Intel is getting a lot of spotlight attention over new investments and interest from Trump, but I don't see their business competing with that of TSMC anytime soon.
