Joseph Moore has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect both the current performance and future potential of Semtech. The company’s financial results have been largely in line with expectations, with a slight increase in revenue driven by growth in their FiberEdge optical portfolio. However, there are still challenges to overcome, such as the recent discontinuation of the CopperEdge program, which has created some temporary setbacks in the data center segment.
Despite these challenges, Moore remains optimistic about Semtech’s long-term growth prospects, particularly in the data center market. The company is focusing on key growth drivers like active copper cables and linear optics, which are expected to gain traction with hyperscalers later this year. However, the transition from design wins to actual revenue generation is crucial for the anticipated acceleration in growth. As a result, Moore’s Hold rating reflects a cautious optimism, acknowledging the potential for future growth while recognizing the current uncertainties.
