Stake 8.7M reported shares ≈ 0.2% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 12/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction Net buyer — 794 shares bought on the open market, no sales — but an award of 204,375 shares came free 10/15
Discipline No late Form 4s in 7 filings 10/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

Earnings calls

  1. Q2 2026 Jul 16, 2026 Wei's argument was that the constraint on TSMC is no longer demand or technology but how fast it can build. He raised the full-year 2026 revenue guide to slightly above 40% growth, announced another USD100 billion for Arizona on top of the USD165 billion already committed there, and framed agentic AI as a second source of leading-edge silicon demand — CPUs alongside accelerators — rather than a rotation away from accelerators. Asked repeatedly to quantify the gap between demand and supply, he refused a number and said only that it is very big and that he expects demand to hold through 2029 or 2030. On price he was explicit that TSMC will not take the margin its scarcity would allow, because a customer that cannot survive a 4x or 5x price increase is not a customer for long — the pricing discipline, not the capacity, is what he wanted the market to hear.
