Reason

Stifel raised the firm's price target on MaxLinear to $18 from $16 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The inventory correction in the broader semiconductor industry over the past two years appears to have bottomed and a cyclical recovery is now likely underway, but the pace of the recovery remains uncertain, the analyst tells investors in an earnings preview for the group. The firm continues to recommend an Overweight position in AI-related semiconductor stocks, noting that its covered group of AI-focused companies is expected to deliver median revenue growth of 32% in 2025 and 17% in 2026.

Equal Weight

Reason

Wells Fargo analyst Joe Quatrochi raised the firm's price target on MaxLinear to $13 from $12 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm notes that elevated valuations into Q2 EPS create a tough setup as modest beat/raises are likely required in fluid macro. Wells believes LOs continue to favor defensive industrial plus analog, while HF positioning leans short.

Buy

Reason

BofA analyst Simon Woo upgraded Silicon Motion (SIMO) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $90, up from $55, citing three catalysts. Namely, the firm points to gradually increasing enterprise solution sales; resilient topline growth with high gross margins; and the potential for $160M-plus in deal break-up fees to be paid by MaxLinear (MXL) if Silicon Motion wins its Singapore arbitration case in late-Q4. Similar to memory chipmakers, Silicon Motion could also benefit from strongly growing sovereign AI investments by selling Enterprise solid-state drive controllers/boot-drivers, known as the MonTitan series, the analyst added.

Reason

Roth Capital analyst Suji Desilva lowered the firm's price target on MaxLinear to $11 from $21 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The company reported and guided revenue largely in-line with consensus, reflecting ongoing improvement in broadband and connectivity ordering patterns, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm is "encouraged" by MaxLinear's expected return to operating profitability this quarter but believes management caution remains around the impact of related tariff uncertainty.

Benchmark lowered the firm's price target on MaxLinear to $20 from $28 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm lowered its price target to reflect sector-wide multiple compression, but despite macro headwinds views MaxLinear as undervalued given it is trading at about a40% discount to peers and the firm sees its growth outlook as intact, the analyst tells investors.
