Aixtron price target raised to EUR 14 from EUR 13.50 at Barclays

Barclays raised the firm’s price target on Aixtron (AIXXF) to EUR 14 from EUR 13.50 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm is “somewhat cautious” on European technology hardware into Q3 but says valuations on 2027 estimates “could provide support.” Artificial intelligence strength continues but Barclays sees little benefit for most of the group, the analyst tells investors in a research note. TSMC remains the analyst’s preferred stock in the sector.
