On June 4, Semtech fell 5.35% in regular trading, trading at $156.945/share, with trading volume of $71.19 million. The decline came as the broader semiconductor sector experienced significant selling pressure, dragging the stock lower and erasing prior gains.
On the news front, the semiconductor industry saw widespread declines, with Broadcom plunging 15.5%, Micron Technology falling 8.53%, Advanced Micro Devices dropping 7.05%, Marvell Technology declining 5.42%, and NVIDIA slipping 1.01%. The systemic sector selloff weighed heavily on Semtech despite its strong fundamental backdrop.
The company had previously reported first fiscal quarter results that significantly beat expectations, with adjusted EPS of $0.51 exceeding consensus by 13.33% and revenue of $291 million growing 12.9% year-over-year. Additionally, Morgan Stanley raised its price target from $155 to $175, citing accelerating AI optical business growth and record data center revenue. However, the sector-wide correction caused the stock to give back a portion of its recent rally fueled by these catalysts.
