Gold prices slide further as easing US-China tensions curb haven demand
Investing.com - Needham raised its price target on TTM Technologies (NASDAQ:TTMI) to $65.00 from $56.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The company’s shares, currently trading at $54.24, have surged 138% over the past six months, with InvestingPro data showing the stock trading near its 52-week high of $54.46.
The firm expressed increased optimism about TTM’s growth prospects for the second half of 2025 and into 2026, particularly in markets related to AI data center infrastructure and defense. This optimism appears well-founded, as TTM has demonstrated solid revenue growth of 14.24% and maintains a "GOOD" overall financial health rating according to InvestingPro analysis.
Needham believes that 2026 consensus estimates for TTM’s Data Center Computing business appear conservative. Despite questions about the slower ramp of the company’s Penang facility, the firm is confident that TTM’s existing facilities in China can increase output to meet accelerating demand from key AI customers.
These Chinese facilities, which account for the majority of TTM’s Data Center Computing production, are expected to drive upside to consensus estimates next year regardless of the scale-up timeline in Penang.
Needham also noted potential upside in TTM’s Aerospace and Defense business in 2026, contributing to the decision to raise the price target by $9.
