Rambus Could Be an Overlooked Winner in the AI Memory Boom
Rambus (RMBS) trades at $93.74 with a 24/7 Wall St. price target of $120.50, implying 28.5% upside. The company supplies DDR5 and licenses HBM4E, PCIe 7 IP for AI chips. Q2 revenue grew 20.4% YoY to $207.38M, beating estimates. Management expects growth from new products and HBM design wins. Six analysts rate it a buy, with a consensus target of $141.57. Risks include supply tightness and inventory management.
