China faces headwinds due to curbs which may cause a potential
$600 million revenue hit by 2026. Analysts at B.Riley Securities and TD Cowen reiterated a buy recommendation, with the latter alongside Goldman Sachs, Bernstein, and Citi raising price targets. Mizuho Securities downgraded the stock to neutral observing strong Q3 results with a reduction in their price target. The stock saw a 27% jump in September despite a dip due to broader chip export curbs. New Semiconductor manufacturing systems were unveiled, aimed to enhance AI chip performance. Meanwhile,
