Mizuho: Our top sectors in 2026E are: 1) AI Accelerators and WFE, 2) Optical, and 3) memory(DRAM/NAND)
"In our 2026 Semis and Automotive Technologies Outlook, we see continued upside for the SOX in 2026E at attractive valuations(0.9x PEG vs. SPX/Naz at 1.5x/1.7x), but more modest than 2025, up 45% (more than 2x S&P's ~16%).
Strength should continue in AI with a) GPU and ASIC (+ve NVDA, DELL, AVGO), b) AI interconnect (+ve LITE, CRDO) with scale-up/out/across, and 800G/1.6T. We continue to see WFE (+ve LRCX) a beneficiary and memory(+ve MU, SNDK) supercycle extend with strong pricing. While Analog semis trends are improving, we see challenges with Global Autos-LVP down ~1% y/y(vs 2024/25 up 2%/2%) and some high inventory levels.
Our top sectors in 2026E are: 1) AI Accelerators and WFE, 2) Optical, and 3) memory(DRAM/NAND), while we remain cautious on I) xEV/Autos/SiC/Analog and II) PC/handsets. Our top picks for 2026 are NVDA, LITE, and AVGO while we also continue to like MCHP and LRCX as key outperformers."

Berenberg upgraded CrowdStrike from Hold to Buy and set a price target of $600, citing the cybersecurity firm’s unified architecture and growth potential.
CrowdStrike shares declined approximately 10% since mid-November despite no earnings downgrades, creating what Berenberg views as an attractive entry point for investors.
Berenberg highlighted CrowdStrike as one of the few vendors capable of maintaining sector-leading growth, supported by its unified architecture in a market where vendor consolidation remains a key theme driving higher wallet share for platform companies.
The research firm noted that cybersecurity platform names have underperformed non-platform peers, declining by 12% compared to a 1% gain for non-platform names since Berenberg’s November 2025 sector initiation.
CrowdStrike currently trades at a 12-month forward EV/sales multiple of approximately 20x with a 20% three-year revenue CAGR and roughly 22% non-GAAP operating margin, which Berenberg considers "broadly fair for a high-quality, scalable SaaS platform with profitability."

"We're embedding for the first time in our estimates an actual earnings boost from AI adoption and productivity this year," Ben Snider, equity strategist at Goldman Sachs, tells Axios.
"It's still very small, less than a percent, but we think that'll grow going forward."

Wells Fargo dove into the mediaļadvertising opportunity presented by Genius' management at its November Investor Day, Wells' first response was the company's NFL relationship seems too good to be true given the company's ability to enable live viewership of NFL games across the company's platform partners. The firm sees potential for upside above and beyond management's long-term guide. Further, Wells believes the implied level of direct NFL advertising and related brand/ad opportunities could prove conservative looking out to 2028 for the self-serve portion of the forecast. The firm thinks the NFL Could represent $50M-plus of self-serve ad revenue, and it estimates about $350M of Media revenue by 2028 relative to the company's $300M guidance.

$TMDX buyers have been relentless lately.
Almost as relentless as their pilots.
Flight data is... Honestly unbelievable.
~32 flights per day.
Compared to 24.9 in December, 25.4 in November and 24.9 in October.
That's not a $130 stock. No way. https://t.co/4IRYJDd2o2 tweet
