Macom price target raised to $300 from $255 at Stifel

Stifel raised the firm’s price target on Macom (MTSI) to $300 from $255 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm continues to believe volatility in AI-levered names presents buying opportunities for “long-term investors focused on picking clear technological innovators,” the analyst tells investors in a preview for the analog, connectivity and processors semi group. Broadly speaking, premium valuations for AI-levered names are justified given the clear secular growth in the segment, the analyst added.
