On August 3, Silicon Motion Technology rose 5.27% in pre-market trading, trading at $255.9/share, with turnover of $84,400. The stock continues to recover following a blowout Q2 earnings report and upward analyst revisions.
The company reported Q2 revenue of $451 million, representing 127% year-over-year growth and significantly exceeding the consensus estimate of $403 million. Adjusted EPS came in at $2.43, topping the analyst forecast of $2.14 by approximately 13.6%. More notably, Q3 revenue guidance of $519 million to $541 million far surpassed the Street consensus of $432 million, signaling continued momentum driven by broad-based growth in embedded, automotive, and AI storage applications. B. Riley subsequently raised its price target on the stock to $350 from $312 while maintaining a Buy rating, with the analyst consensus target now at $370.
The stock had previously declined over 15% following a Morgan Stanley report warning that the AI-driven memory cycle was approaching a peak, with contract prices expected to top out in Q4. The strong earnings and forward guidance have served as a catalyst for the ongoing share price recovery.
