Tower Semiconductor Presents Strong Buying Opportunity Amid Market Selloff

In a recent analysis published by Benchmark analyst Cody Acree, Tower Semiconductor Inc. (NASDAQ:TSEM) has been identified as one of the attractive investment options following a significant market decline on Monday. This downturn was largely influenced by the unveiling of a new AI language model by the Chinese AI research lab DeepSeek.

Market Impact: The announcement from DeepSeek, which claimed its large language model performs on par with or even surpasses established competitors at a much lower cost, sent ripples through the market. Although some skepticism surrounded these claims, the prevailing concerns regarding the sustainability of high-capital expenditure (capex) business models in AI raised alarm among investors.

Acree pointed out that the announcement from DeepSeek has resulted in doubts about valuations in the AI sector. However, he believes that this sudden drop in stock prices has created an opportunity for investors looking for oversold stocks that still demonstrate stable earnings potential, with Tower Semiconductor highlighted as a prime candidate.

Maintaining a “Buy” rating on Tower Semiconductor, Acree’s price target for the stock is set at $60. He emphasized the company’s resilience and growth capabilities, which are largely attributed to its leadership in RF infrastructure technologies. This includes the Silicon Germanium (SiGe) process that is essential for electrical amplifiers and optical transceivers, both of which are vital components in AI data centers.

Moreover, Tower Semiconductor holds a dominant market share in SiGe-based optical transceivers, and it is recognized as the leading foundry in Silicon Photonics. This strategic standing positions the company well to capitalize on the increased demand within the AI infrastructure space.

Acroe further highlighted that Tower’s technological developments, such as active copper cables and pluggable optical modules, will allow the company to gain significant advantages as the AI sector continues to evolve.

Current Stock Performance: At the time of reporting, Tower Semiconductor's shares experienced a slight increase of 1.25%, reaching a price of $46.07, according to financial data sourced from reliable market platforms.
