Berenberg announced on Tuesday that it had raised its price target for Soitec from 110 to 130 euros, while renewing its buy recommendation on the stock.

In a research note, the analyst points out that the second quarter for the specialist in materials for the semiconductor industry should see a slowdown in the decline in sales compared with the first quarter.

Once this low point has been reached, Berenberg predicts a return to growth in the second half of the year, before the end of customer destocking and a buoyant base effect generate solid growth in 2026.

"In view of the underlying growth and operating leverage offered by the stock, the valuation appears attractive", concludes Berenberg.
