On June 2, Semtech rose 6.08% in regular trading, trading at $160.98/share, with trading volume of approximately $46.72 million. The rally was driven by multiple catalysts including a strong fiscal first-quarter earnings beat and an optimistic second-quarter outlook.

The company previously reported fiscal Q1 adjusted EPS of $0.51, exceeding market expectations of $0.45 by 13.33% and growing 34.21% year over year. Revenue came in at $2.91 billion, surpassing consensus of $2.83 billion with 12.9% year-over-year growth. For the second quarter, management guided adjusted EPS of $0.59 to $0.63, well above the analyst estimate of $0.51, and revenue of $3.23 billion to $3.33 billion, also above the $3.01 billion consensus.

Additionally, Morgan Stanley raised its target price from $155 to $175, noting that Semtech's AI-driven optical business is seeing accelerating momentum, with data center revenue reaching a record $71.6 million. Management now sees potential for the data center business to approach a doubling year over year, up from prior guidance of over 50% growth. The broader semiconductor sector also provided a tailwind, with Marvell Technology surging 19.34% and Broadcom gaining 5.45%.
