Citi remains 'wildly bullish' on chip stocks
Citi is still «wildly bullish» on semiconductor stocks, based on the current demand trends, the firm stated in a note Thursday.
Analysts at the bank noted stable demand in PCs, handsets, servers (which is 53% of the semiconductor total addressable market), and inventory replenishment.
«We look for at least 11% YoY growth in global semiconductor sales in 2024,» said Citi, adding that artificial intelligence leads the way, and they stay long NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), AMD (NASDAQ:AMD), Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO).
«The AI market continues to grow and our checks indicate TAM expansion with government agencies, universities, and large/medium businesses all buying AI chips,» analysts added. «We continue to favor NVDA, AMD, and AVGO and expect the upcoming AVGO earnings to be another positive catalyst.»
