MACOM (MTSI) stock price near $225 high as Stifel lifts target and proxy sets March vote

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 20:22 EST — Market closed. Shares of MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (MTSI) closed last week close to their 52-week peak following a new price-target boost from Wall Street. U.S. markets were shut Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

It arrives amid investors juggling two major forces: enthusiasm for AI-driven demand and a more volatile macro environment.
