Serenity: XFAB upgraded to "Buy"; AI and photonic chips may unlock long-term growth potential.
BlockBeats reported on July 6th that Serenity reposted Kelper's latest research report, upgrading semiconductor foundry XFAB's rating to "Buy." The report argues that Melexis demand is continuously improving, and the demand for silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), and photonic chips driven by AI is expected to offset cyclical fluctuations in the automotive industry. Furthermore, the report notes that specialized foundries, scarce in the West, are receiving higher valuation premiums. Data shows that XFAB's current 2027 EV/EBITDA is only 4.8x, significantly lower than the industry median of 14.5x. Serenity stated that this indicates XFAB's core fundamentals are improving, but they are more optimistic about the growth potential of photonic chips, which the market has not yet fully priced in. They pointed out that XFAB leads the EU's PhotonixFAB project, which aims to build a European silicon photonics industry chain and promote the large-scale manufacturing of photonic chips. In the future, XFAB is expected to benefit from the growth in data center optical communication demand driven by AI giants such as Nvidia. However, since related commercial orders have not yet been implemented on a large scale, traditional valuation models still cannot reflect this long-term growth logic.

In a report dated July 7th, Morgan Stanley analysts stated, "SpaceX can convert energy into intelligence on a large scale and commercialize it through AI-driven consumer and enterprise solutions." Their target price is $300, currently the highest among Wall Street investment banks, implying an 87% upside from Monday's closing price of $160.42.
UBS raised its target price for SK Hynix to 3.2 million won and maintained its buy rating.
According to a report by Odaily, SK Hynix is continuing to push for more revised long-term agreements, focusing on DDR5 and NAND Flash for hyperscale data center customers. These contracts have terms exceeding five years, with approximately 60% to 70% of the expected volume and price already locked in, which will improve future earnings visibility. Based on a projected price-to-book ratio of 3.65 for the next 12 months, UBS has raised its target price for SK Hynix from 3 million won to 3.2 million won and maintained its buy rating. SK Hynix began ramping up HBM4 shipments for its Rubin platform in the second quarter, indicating that it has completed final design adjustments to meet specifications. While Samsung Electronics' HBM bit market share may be slightly higher than SK Hynix's in 2027 (41% vs. 39%), in the long term, HBM's share in SK Hynix's DRAM business is expected to be higher than its peers. UBS predicts that HBM's share of DRAM revenue will rise from 15% in 2026 to 58% in 2030. Further increases in the average selling price of HBM will provide additional support for profitability in 2027. UBS stated that shareholder reward policies are expected to continue to strengthen, and anticipates share buybacks to begin after the ADR listing and gradually accelerate. UBS points out that DDR and NAND Flash contract pricing still has room for further increases in the second half of 2026. Considering the revised long-term agreements and HBM, UBS forecasts a 43% quarter-on-quarter increase in DRAM average selling prices in Q2 2026, a 21% increase in Q3, and a 13% increase in Q4; for NAND, it expects a 43% quarter-on-quarter increase in the mixed average selling price in Q2, a 25% increase in Q3, and a 10% increase in Q4. Taking into account the upward revision of average selling price forecasts, UBS has raised its SK Hynix operating profit forecast by 7% to 327 trillion won this year, and by 12% each for the next two years to 623 trillion won and 667 trillion won.
