On August 4, Silicon Motion Technology rose 6.22% in regular trading, trading at $265.235/share, with turnover of $19.90 million. The rebound was driven by a combination of strong Q2 results, an analyst price target upgrade, and broad storage sector strength.
The company reported Q2 revenue of $451 million, up 127% year-over-year, well above the consensus estimate of $403 million. Adjusted EPS came in at $2.43, beating the $2.14 analyst estimate by 13.6%. Q3 revenue guidance of $519-$541 million significantly exceeded the Street consensus of $432 million. 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 had declined 6.31% in the prior session amid broader semiconductor weakness and Morgan Stanley warnings of a storage cycle peak. Storage peers rallied in tandem, with Sandisk up over 6%, SK Hynix up over 5%, and Micron up over 4%, providing additional sector tailwinds for the recovery.
