On Monday, Deutsche Bank maintained a Hold rating on Ambarella (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:AMBA) shares, with a price target of $65.00. The semiconductor company, known for its computer vision (CV) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, is expected to continue its pattern of strong financial reporting and guidance that aligns closely with expectations.
Ambarella has managed to rebound from its cyclical low in the third fiscal quarter of 2024, a notable achievement as many in the industry are still navigating through challenges such as inventory reductions and weak demand in various markets.
Deutsche Bank anticipates positive cyclical and seasonal trends for Ambarella in the second and third fiscal quarters, with revenue increases projected for both periods. However, the fourth fiscal quarter may present a hurdle, with expected revenue declines quarter-over-quarter.
Despite this anticipated dip, Ambarella is projected to maintain its revenue target of approximately $250 million for the fiscal year 2025, which aligns with the calendar year 2024.
Looking beyond the immediate future, Deutsche Bank suggests that investors will likely shift their focus to Ambarella’s company-specific advancements in CV and AI technologies, particularly in the automotive, Internet of Things (IoT), and data center (DC) markets for the calendar year 2025 and beyond. These areas offer potential for growth due to design wins that could drive demand for Ambarella's products.
Despite the positive outlook on Ambarella's cyclical recovery and the long-term potential of its CV and AI technologies, Deutsche Bank expresses caution.
The firm recognizes the uncertainty surrounding the extent and sustainability of growth needed for these technological investments to yield attractive returns. This uncertainty underpins the decision to reiterate the Hold rating on Ambarella's stock.
