AI Chip Deals, Analyst Moves Dominate Tech Trading

Broadcom expands partnerships while analysts adjust ratings across semiconductor names

Tech Market Overview

Technology stocks saw mixed analyst actions as firms repositioned ahead of earnings season. Wells Fargo made notable adjustments to Big Tech price targets, while Erste Group shifted ratings on key semiconductor names. Legal pressure is mounting on tech giants around content and AI issues, according to new court cases challenging platform protections.

AI & Semiconductors

Broadcom expanded chip deals with Google and Anthropic as demand for next-generation compute infrastructure accelerates. Intel announced plans to invest an additional $15 million in SambaNova Systems, a chip startup led by CEO Lip-Bu Tan. Wells Fargo maintained its Overweight rating on $AMD with a $345 price target and added the stock to its second-quarter Tactical Ideas List, while Citi issued a catalyst watch citing AI-driven CPU demand. Erste Group downgraded $AVGO from Buy to Hold on concerns over software segment growth, while KeyBanc issued a bullish call on Micron with potential 60% upside after raising earnings forecasts.

Cloud & Software

No significant cloud or software-specific developments were reported in today's data. Amazon reduced its reliance on USPS according to a morning podcast briefing, but details on enterprise cloud performance remain pending.

Big Tech Moves

Meta Platforms was downgraded to Hold by an analyst amid concerns that expenses have been rising faster than revenue in recent quarters. Wells Fargo trimmed its price target on $GOOGL from $397 to $361 while maintaining an Overweight rating. Netflix received an upgrade to Buy from Goldman Sachs with a $120 price target ahead of earnings, with the upgrade citing the company's ability to focus on price hikes, ads, and live sports after walking away from the $83 billion Warner Bros. bidding war. Uber Technologies announced on March 30 that it will acquire chauffeur service platform Blacklane.

Looking Ahead

Netflix earnings loom as a key test following Goldman's upgrade, with investors watching for commentary on pricing power and live sports strategy. The semiconductor sector faces continued scrutiny as analysts debate whether AI infrastructure demand can sustain current valuations amid software segment concerns. Legal developments around platform liability and AI regulation will remain a focus area for Big Tech companies.
