Mizuho sees continued upside for the group in 2026 due to "attractive valuations," but more modest than 2025. The analyst' top sectors in 2026 are AI accelerators and wafter fab equipment, Optical, and memory, while the firm remains cautious on electric vehicles, autos and analog as well as computers and handsets. Mizuho's top picks for 2026 are Nvidia, Lumentum and Broadcom.

Mizuho raised the firm's price target on STMicroelectronics to $26 from $22 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm adjusted targets in the semiconductors and semiconductor capital equipment group heading into 2026. U.S. electric vehicle sales were down 20%-50% month-over-month in October and November, and 2026 launch cancels and delays will be a headwind in 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Mizuho sees a mixed sector outlook with EV headwinds for the analog and auto component supply chain, with industrials potentially performing better.
