Semtech’s Strategic Growth and Resilience: Analyst Reaffirms Buy Rating with $60 Target

Analyst Christopher Rolland of Susquehanna reiterated a Buy rating on Semtech (SMTC – Research Report), retaining the price target of $60.00.

Christopher Rolland has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Semtech’s promising growth prospects and strategic initiatives. The company has shown resilience with its FiberEdge and TriEdge products filling the gap left by the temporary demand gap for CopperEdge, and it is poised for further growth with new applications expected to ramp up in the latter half of the year.
Additionally, Semtech’s LoRa technology has exceeded expectations, and the company is actively engaging in new opportunities in the IoT sector. Despite some short-term challenges, such as the NVIDIA ACC disappointment, the company’s focus on debt reduction and investment in R&D, along with its strong core business performance, particularly in DC, LoRa, and Cellular IoT, supports the positive outlook. These factors, combined with a strategic focus on new handset opportunities and the potential for growth in smart glasses applications, underpin Rolland’s Buy rating and the reiterated price target of $60.

Rolland covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Semtech, Silicon Laboratories, and Knowles. According to TipRanks, Rolland has an average return of 15.0% and a 54.74% success rate on recommended stocks.

In another report released today, Piper Sandler also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $55.00 price target.
