Lam Research CorpNamed as an enhanced buying opportunity with raised AI data center TAM forecast.
Bank of America has warned that chip stocks could fall another 10%, a decline that would push the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index back to its valuation discount versus the S&P 500 before ChatGPT's debut in November 2022. Analyst Vivek Arya cited rising interest rates, public pushback on data center projects, geopolitical tension, worries over circular financing among AI companies, and heavy investor positioning as near-term risks. Despite the caution, the bank raised its AI data center total addressable market forecast to roughly $2.2 trillion by 2030, up from $1.7 trillion in May, and named eight stocks as enhanced buying opportunities, including Nvidia, Marvell, Micron, and Lam Research. Arya also suggested Nvidia could follow Apple's post-2012 playbook by increasing cash returns to shareholders to ease concerns about its AI investments.
