Jefferies initiated coverage of Silvaco with a Buy rating and $25 price target. The analyst views Silvaco as an “outsized grower in a coveted space with very few public players.” The company will benefit from secular tailwinds such as increasing complexity, new materials and rising go-to-market costs, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says customers are increasingly more reliant on technology computer-aided design to improve yields without lengthening development cycles and increasing costs.
