- Lam Research (LRCX) has received a significant upgrade from Deutsche Bank.
- The bank moved its rating on Lam Research from "Hold" to "Buy".
- The price goal (price target) for the stock was also raised substantially, increasing from $100 to $150.
- This positive change is primarily driven by powerful market trends described as "cyclical and secular tailwinds".
- Cyclical Tailwinds: The conditions for memory chip supply and demand have become more favorable. This is a good sign for the market’s immediate health.
- Secular Tailwinds: There is growing momentum and expansion happening at smaller chip manufacturers, known as second-tier foundries. This points to longer-term growth.
