The Top 5 AI Semiconductor Stocks, Barclays Style
The financial portal "Seeking Alpha" has the scoop on the latest picks for the best AI semiconductor stocks from Barclays. The top five contenders are: Nvidia, Broadcom, Applied Materials, Advanced Micro Devices, and TSMC.
According to Barclays, Nvidia's GPU sales reached nearly $100 billion in the year 2024 and might soar to an astounding $160 billion in 2025. Analysts at Barclays emphasize the growing importance of custom silicon chips. They expect an impressive annual growth rate of 55% over the next three years. The AI market is so vast that both Nvidia and specialized providers could thrive. Barclays increased the price target for Nvidia from $160 to $175, predicting a jaw-dropping upside potential of 27%.
While Nvidia remains the undisputed leader in AI semiconductors, expanding demand paves the way for other players to shine. According to Barclays, customers are increasingly seeking cost-effective options with lower latency.
Barclays projects that Broadcom will generate around $21 billion in revenue from custom chips by the year 2026. In light of this, the bank upped its price target for Broadcom from $205 to $260, equating to an impressive 10% upside potential. Advanced Micro Devices also earned a positive nod. Their price target climbed from $115 to $150, implying a substantial 27% upside.
Initial concerns surrounded whether Applied Materials could branch out beyond large clients like Google. However, progress in port numbers and interest from major cloud providers in a U.S.-based supply chain led to surprisingly quick approvals for additional clients. Applied Materials is a technology company that develops and manufactures equipment and materials for semiconductor, flat panel display, and solar photovoltaic industries. Barclays increased the price target from $80 to $125, foreseeing a staggering 32% upside potential.
TSMC is a considerable player at the heart of the AI chip rush, with expected massive revenue surges in 2025 spurred by AI chip demand. Although precise targets from Barclays are not specified, TSMC's central role in the AI segment suggests robust growth in line with the growing AI chip market.
In short, the AI sector reveals significant growth opportunities for the established giants, such as Nvidia, and emerging players like Broadcom, AMD, Applied Materials, and TSMC. Keep a close eye on these stocks—2025 could be a fantastic year for AI investments!
