MACOM stock: What to watch for MTSI after a Stifel target hike and a March 5 shareholder vote

MACOM stock: What to watch for MTSI after a Stifel target hike and a March 5 shareholder vote

New York, Jan 19, 2026, 21:12 EST — Market closed.

  • MACOM shares ended Friday at $220.68, marking a 0.8% gain.
  • Stifel raised its price target for MACOM to $215 from $185, maintaining a Buy rating.
  • In a proxy filing, the company scheduled its annual meeting for March 5, where shareholders will vote on directors, executive compensation, and the auditor.

Shares of MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings Inc ended Friday at $220.68, marking a 0.8% rise after hitting a peak of $225.34 earlier in the session. Since January 9, the stock has climbed roughly 26%, fueled in part by a nearly 13% surge on January 12, according to StockAnalysis data.

U.S. stock and bond markets remained shut Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, resulting in light trading volumes before Tuesday’s reopening. Nasdaq 100 futures slipped following President Donald Trump’s threat of fresh tariffs against European countries, putting pressure on U.S. tech shares listed in Europe, Reuters reported. (Nasdaq)

That’s a big deal for MACOM, as the stock has been reacting sharply to minor updates, and the next session opens amid heightened risk. Traders are weighing a fresh analyst call alongside the kickoff of proxy season for the firm. These factors could influence options and short-term bets, even if no new company announcements come out.

On Friday, Stifel analyst Tore Svanberg upped his price target on MACOM from $185 to $215, maintaining a Buy rating. He highlighted the company’s “bright as ever” long-term outlook, citing potential margin improvements with gross margin expected to top 58% and operating margin surpassing 25% in upcoming quarters. Price targets reflect analysts’ projections for where the stock might trade within a year and aren’t guarantees. (Investing)

MACOM announced in a proxy statement filed with the SEC that its annual meeting is set for March 5 at 3 p.m. Eastern, taking place at a Holiday Inn Express in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Shareholders will cast votes on eight director nominees, an advisory “say on pay” resolution regarding executive compensation, and the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as auditor for the fiscal year ending Oct. 2, according to the filing. (SEC)

MACOM announced in an earlier SEC filing that Bryan Ingram joined its board on Jan. 12 and is slated for nomination at the 2026 annual meeting. CEO Stephen G. Daly highlighted Ingram’s “hands-on experience scaling and managing large multi-billion dollar semiconductor businesses” as key to driving MACOM’s growth plans. Ingram described his background as “an excellent fit” for the company. The filing also noted that MACOM designs and manufactures semiconductor products for telecom, industrial, defense, and data center markets. (MACOM)

Stifel made its move while assessing demand for analog and connectivity chips ahead of earnings season. TheFly reported that Stifel anticipates stronger appetite for analog chips, even as spending related to AI — short for artificial intelligence — infrastructure stays robust. (TipRanks)

MACOM’s shares are already trading above Stifel’s $215 target, highlighting how the market is banking on margin gains. Still, if risk appetite shifts or the upcoming update disappoints, that recent rally could reverse sharply.

Trading picks up again Tuesday. For MACOM, March 5 marks the next key date: shareholders will vote on the board slate and executive compensation. Even though the pay vote is non-binding, it often attracts extra scrutiny.

  • Applied Materials (AMAT) Surges 72% in One Year but Shows Overvaluation Signs
    January 19, 2026, 9:52 PM EST. Applied Materials (AMAT) shares have surged approximately 72% over the past year, closing at around $327 amid strong investor interest driven by semiconductor sector optimism. Despite this growth, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation model estimates the intrinsic value at $139.94 per share, suggesting the stock may be overvalued by about 133.7%. The DCF method projects future cash flows and discounts them to their present value, and Applied Materials' projected free cash flow growth to $9.29 billion by 2030 was factored in. This disparity indicates elevated current prices relative to fundamental worth, raising questions about whether the rally fully reflects long-term prospects. Investors should weigh the strong recent performance against these valuation concerns before making decisions.
