Semtech Corporation ($SMTC) experienced a dramatic decline in its stock price, dropping over 33% on February 10, 2025, following a disappointing forecast for its CopperEdge products. The company announced that net sales from these products, which are integral to active copper cables used in Nvidia's ($NVDA) server racks, are expected to be lower than previously estimated due to changes in server rack architecture. This news led to a pre-market drop of 26.2% and further declines throughout the trading day. Analysts responded by cutting their price targets for Semtech, with B. Riley lowering its target from $85 to $68 while maintaining a Buy rating, citing erosion in near-term opportunities related to Nvidia. Baird also reduced its target from $80 to $60, reflecting a bearish sentiment in the market as the stock has fallen 41% in the past five days, although it remains above its 52-week low.
