Monday brought a fresh wave of analyst optimism for several major technology names, with Wall Street veterans upgrading their ratings and raising price targets across the board.
The Intel Turnaround Story
Perhaps the most notable call came from Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes, who upgraded Intel Corp (INTC) from Hold to Buy and slapped a $50 price target on the chipmaker. That's a meaningful vote of confidence considering Intel closed Friday at $39.38, suggesting Reitzes sees roughly 27% upside ahead.
ASML Gets a Major Vote of Confidence
Bernstein analyst David Dai made an even more dramatic move on ASML Holding NV (ASML), upgrading the semiconductor equipment maker from Market Perform to Outperform. But here's where it gets interesting: Dai raised his price target from $935 to $1,528. With ASML closing Friday at $1,163.78, the analyst clearly believes there's more room to run for the Dutch tech giant.
CoreWeave Rebounds from Underperform
DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria had a change of heart on CoreWeave Inc (CRWV), upgrading the cloud infrastructure company from Underperform to Neutral. The price target jumped from $36 to $68, though CoreWeave shares were already trading well above that at $79.32 on Friday. Sometimes the stock moves faster than the analysts can keep up.
Solar Gets Some Love
KeyBanc analyst Sophie Karp upgraded Enphase Energy Inc (ENPH) from Underweight to Sector Weight, removing her negative stance on the solar energy company. Enphase shares ended Friday at $33.75.
Big Blue's Big Moment
Rounding out Monday's upgrades, Jefferies analyst Brent Thill moved IBM (IBM) from Hold to Buy and raised his price target from $300 to $360. With IBM closing at $291.50 on Friday, Thill apparently sees the tech veteran breaking through the $300 barrier and heading higher.
These rating changes reflect a broader shift in sentiment toward select technology names, particularly in the semiconductor and infrastructure space. Whether these bullish calls pan out remains to be seen, but they certainly give investors something to think about as the week kicks off.
