On August 27, Semtech rose 5.06% in pre-market trading, trading at $147.8 per share, with turnover of approximately $6.95 million. The rally was driven by multiple investment banks collectively raising their price targets following the company's significant Q2 earnings beat.
Semtech reported fiscal Q2 non-GAAP EPS of $0.71, beating the consensus estimate of $0.57 by approximately 24.6%, representing a 73.2% year-over-year increase. Revenue came in at $341.9 million, up 33% year-over-year. UBS raised its price target on Semtech to $230 from $225 while maintaining a Buy rating. UBS projects data center revenue could reach a $200 million quarterly run-rate by fiscal Q1 2028, with Q3 guidance calling for 45% quarter-on-quarter growth in the segment. The company's Q3 revenue guidance of $405-$415 million significantly exceeded UBS's pre-earnings estimate of $376 million. Additionally, the $62 million divestiture of the cellular module business is expected to improve gross margins by approximately 500 basis points, as the company further focuses on data center and AI infrastructure growth.
