The firm adjusted targets in the semiconductors and semiconductor capital equipment group as part of its 2026 outlook. 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.

Reason

BofA raised the firm's price target on SanDisk (SNDK) to $390 from $300 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang presented "Vera Rubin" and co-developed chips that will drive significant improvement in performance for AI workloads at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Part of the performance increase coming from the ability to handle larger context windows for AI models through a dedicated storage tier connected via a Bluefeld-4 chip elevates NAND to a more prominent tier in AI workloads and allows for significant performance improvements, the analyst tells investors. Separately, demand remains strong and pricing robust, which should drive significant positive estimate revisions for SanDisk, the analyst added.

Reason

BofA reiterated a Buy rating and $119 price target on Uber (UBER) stock. The firm continues to see Nvidia's (NVDA) autonomous vehicle initiatives as "critical" for Uber as it helps accelerate the adoption of L4 technology. Uber has a better opportunity to both purchase and lease autonomous vehicles for its network and offer consumers opportunities to monetize their autonomous vehicle on Uber's network, BofA told investors in a research note. Uber's valuation is only two to three turns higher than last year's low of around 12.5 times 2026 free cash flow, according to the firm. BofA added that it sees potential for multiple to expand to over 20 times free cash flow.
