Silicom’s stock rose 9.7% after Needham analyst Ryan Koontz raised the rating from “Hold” to “Buy” and named a $60 price target. The move followed an announcement that a Silicom product passed qualification with a new customer in the AI inference space and that initial production orders are in place. Needham expects this to drive multi‑million‑dollar revenues in 2026 and potentially double‑digit million‑dollar revenues in 2027, with additional upside from Tier‑1 design wins in inference, cybersecurity and PQC. » More on de.investing.com
