Gold prices tick higher on fresh US tariff threats, Fed rate cut hopes
Investing.com - TD Cowen raised its price target on Mobileye N.V (NASDAQ:MBLY) to $22.00 from $18.00 on Friday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets for Mobileye currently range from $10 to $33, with the stock trading near $16.39 after a significant 12.6% decline over the past week.
The price target increase follows Mobileye’s positive pre-announcement of second-quarter results, which reflected "better-than-feared inventory dynamics," according to TD Cowen.
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) sold 50 million MBLY shares, as announced in an 8-K filing earlier this week, reducing but maintaining a significant ownership position of approximately 80% in the company.
TD Cowen noted that while concerns may linger regarding Intel’s large ownership stake and potential tariff-related pull-ins, the firm sees upside potential to second-half and full-year results.
The analyst cited "the conservative bar set last quarter" as a factor in their optimistic outlook for Mobileye’s performance in the coming periods.
In other recent news, Mobileye has reported strong preliminary second-quarter results for 2025, with expected revenue between $502 million and $506 million, marking a 14-15% increase from the previous year. The company also anticipates operating income of $98-$104 million, reflecting a 20%-21% margin and significant year-over-year growth. Concurrently, Mobileye has entered into a long-term supply agreement with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for the production of its imaging radar and future EyeQ products. In a significant financial move, Intel announced a secondary offering of 50 million Mobileye Class A shares, priced at $16.50 per share, with an option for underwriters to purchase an additional 7.5 million shares.

Loop Capital and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) have both raised their price targets for Mobileye to $24, citing the company’s growth profile and strong second-quarter performance. BNP Paribas (OTC:BNPQY) Exane maintained a Neutral rating on Mobileye, highlighting the company’s Drive and robotaxi initiatives as potential catalysts.
