On August 7, Silicon Motion Technology rose 5.05% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $275.21/share, with turnover of $864,900. The stock continues its recovery trajectory fueled by a blowout Q2 earnings report and institutional upgrades.
On the news front, the company previously reported Q2 revenue of $451 million, representing 127% year-over-year growth and significantly exceeding the analyst consensus of $403.4 million. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $2.43, surpassing the Street estimate of $2.14 by 13.6%. More notably, Q3 revenue guidance of $519 million to $541 million far exceeded the market consensus of $432.1 million, signaling sustained momentum from AI-driven storage demand. Additionally, B. Riley raised its price target from $312 to $350 while maintaining a Buy rating, with the average analyst target standing at $370.
The stock rose 5.63% in the prior session, rebounding from a 5.4% decline driven by concerns over storage cycle peaking flagged by Morgan Stanley. The current pre-market gain extends the post-earnings recovery pattern.
