SiTime stock initiated with Buy rating at UBS on AI growth potential

Investing.com - UBS initiated coverage on SiTime Corp. (NASDAQ:SITM) with a Buy rating and a price target of $260.00, representing a potential 20% upside from current levels. The stock has already demonstrated strong momentum, gaining nearly 70% over the past year and about 10% in the last week alone, according to InvestingPro data.

The investment bank views SiTime as a disruptive force in the timing market with its silicon-based solutions, describing timing technology as "the heartbeat of the electronics world." UBS expects SiTime to become one of the fastest-growing semiconductor companies over the next few years, driven significantly by artificial intelligence applications. This growth trajectory is supported by the company’s impressive 65% year-over-year revenue growth and strong financial health, with a current ratio of 8.54 indicating robust liquidity.

UBS highlighted SiTime’s strong and growing position with Apple, along with its unique high exposure to AI among peers in its market cap range. The firm estimates that AI-related revenue could reach approximately 35% of SiTime’s total revenue by 2027.

The analyst expects SiTime’s current 40% revenue growth to continue at least through 2026 and likely beyond as the company expands within its large addressable market. UBS projects a path to approximately $5 earnings per share in calendar year 2027.

UBS believes current Wall Street estimates for SiTime are "considerably too low" given its multiple growth drivers, with the firm’s calendar year 2026 and 2027 earnings per share estimates running approximately 8% and 11% above consensus, respectively.

In other recent news, CyTime Corporation reported impressive financial results for the second quarter of 2025, significantly exceeding market expectations. The company achieved earnings per share of $0.47, surpassing the anticipated $0.21, representing a surprise of 123.81%. Revenue for the quarter reached $69.5 million, which was 20.26% higher than the forecasted $57.79 million. These results highlight the company’s strong performance during this period. Additionally, the financial announcement was followed by an increase in the company’s stock price, although specific price movements are not the focus here. Analysts and investors are likely to take note of these developments when considering the company’s future prospects. Such a substantial earnings beat often attracts attention from analyst firms, potentially influencing their future ratings and recommendations.
