Stifel cuts MACOM stock price target to $120, maintains Buy rating

On Thursday, Stifel analysts revised their price target for MACOM Technology Solutions (NASDAQ:MTSI) shares, bringing it down to $120 from the previous $150, while still holding a Buy rating on the stock. Currently trading at $97.23, MTSI has seen a -25.16% year-to-date return, though InvestingPro data shows 9 analysts have revised their earnings upward for the upcoming period. The adjustment reflects the firm’s assessment of MACOM’s future financial performance amid a challenging macroeconomic landscape.

The company, known for its semiconductor solutions, has recently completed the acquisition of Wolfspeed (NYSE:WOLF)’s RF division, which is anticipated to contribute to its profitability. With a current gross margin of 53.58% and impressive revenue growth of 26.4%, MACOM demonstrates strong operational efficiency. Stifel’s analysis suggests that MACOM is well-positioned to achieve over 60% in next-generation gross margins (NG GMs) and over 25% in operating margins (OMs) in upcoming quarters. This outlook is based on the company’s strategic moves and the integration of its latest acquisition.

Stifel’s commentary on the price target change emphasized MACOM’s impressive profitability and its ability to navigate through the current economic challenges. The firm remains optimistic about MACOM’s long-term growth prospects, citing the company’s engagement in multiple new programs that span all of its key end markets.

MACOM’s strategy focuses on building for secular growth, targeting all three of its main end markets. Stifel believes this approach will continue to drive the company’s success and contribute to its bright future. The firm’s maintained Buy rating indicates a positive outlook on the stock despite the lowered price target.

The semiconductor industry, where MACOM operates, is highly competitive and sensitive to economic shifts. According to InvestingPro analysis, MACOM maintains a strong financial position with a current ratio of 3.61 and operates with moderate debt levels.
