Joshua Buchalter has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Semtech’s strategic positioning and growth potential. Semtech’s expertise in mixed-signal and analog solutions aligns well with the datacenter connectivity investment framework, which emphasizes technological differentiation as a driver of gross margins and returns. This expertise positions Semtech to capture significant market share in emerging categories such as active copper cables and linear pluggable optics, with the potential to generate substantial revenue from the datacenter sector by 2029.
Additionally, Semtech’s strong product portfolio extends beyond datacenters, with growth opportunities in telco, high-end consumer, and industrial IoT markets. The company’s PerSe capacitive sensing technologies and LoRa network technology are gaining traction in these areas. Furthermore, the recent leadership changes, including the appointment of Dr. Hong Hou as CEO and Mark Lin as CFO, are viewed as positive steps in the company’s turnaround, enhancing its ability to capitalize on its core strengths and pursue new opportunities.
In another report released yesterday, Oppenheimer also upgraded the stock to a Buy with a $81.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 58 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of SMTC in relation to earlier this year.
