BofA Sees AI Driving the Next $1 Trillion in Semiconductor RevenueJune 26, 2026 11:44 AM
IH Market News Bank of America believes artificial intelligence will accelerate growth across the semiconductor industry, helping generate an additional $1 trillion in chip sales over the next five years and reshaping several key technology markets in the process. “The chip industry took ~50 years to generate its first $1Tn in sales,” analysts led by Vivek Arya wrote. “We expect AI to help add another $1Tn in just the next five years.” Five Major Themes Expected to Fuel Industry Expansion BofA identified five structural trends that it believes will drive the next phase of semiconductor growth. The first is the rapid expansion of AI-focused data centre infrastructure. The bank estimates the total addressable market for AI data centre systems could grow from approximately $273 billion in 2025 to $1.7 trillion by 2030. Memory remains another key growth engine, supported by long-term supply agreements and strong demand visibility. The third theme centres on semiconductor manufacturing equipment and reshoring initiatives, as rising chip complexity increases investment requirements across fabrication facilities. Analog semiconductors are also expected to benefit from growing power demands linked to AI workloads, while demand for next-generation CPUs designed to support agentic AI applications represents another major opportunity. BofA estimates the server CPU market tied to agentic AI could eventually represent a $170 billion opportunity across x86 and ARM-based architectures. Industry Forecast Raised to $2.7 Trillion by 2030 Reflecting these trends, the bank increased its forecast for total semiconductor industry revenue to $2.7 trillion by 2030, up from a previous estimate of $2.3 trillion. The revised outlook implies a compound annual growth rate of approximately 28% from 2025 levels. Among all semiconductor categories, memory is expected to deliver the strongest growth, with BofA forecasting nearly 300% year-over-year expansion in 2026. Equipment Spending Forecasts Move Higher The bank also substantially increased its projections for wafer fabrication equipment spending. BofA now expects industry spending on wafer fab equipment to reach $250 billion by 2028, compared with its previous forecast of $203 billion. By 2030, annual spending could climb to approximately $292 billion. The increase reflects expectations for continued investment in advanced manufacturing capacity needed to support AI-driven demand. Micron Leads a Series of Higher Price Targets Alongside its updated industry outlook, BofA revised several semiconductor stock price targets upward. The largest increase was for Micron (NASDAQ:MU), where the target rose to $1,500 from $950. The bank cited strong demand for high-bandwidth memory and supply constraints that could persist through 2028. Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT) saw its target increased to $720 from $540, while Lam Research (NASDAQ:LRCX) was lifted to $480 from $330 and KLA Corporation (NASDAQ:KLAC) to $317 from $210. Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL) received a new target of $365, up from $240, supported by growing demand for AI connectivity solutions. Meanwhile, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) saw its target raised to $160 from $135 as the bank highlighted opportunities in server processors and foundry services. Credo Technology (NASDAQ:CRDO) also received a higher target, increasing to $340 from $252. One Notable Exception Despite the broadly positive outlook, BofA maintained a more cautious stance on Axcelis Technologies (NASDAQ:ACLS). Although the bank raised its target price to $156 from $130, it retained an Underperform rating, arguing that the stock already reflects much of the potential upside associated with its planned merger with Veeco.

These statements, which include our expectations for spending in our industry and guidance for future financial performance, are based on management's current expectations and should be viewed with caution.

The Company sells its products to semiconductor chip manufacturers around the world.

The next semiconductor growth stock investors should buy now and hold is Axcelis Technologies ( ACLS 7.66% ). In a similar fashion to Cohu, Axcelis provides crucial equipment to semiconductor producers. Its ion implanters are essential to the fabrication process for chipmakers, and investors are taking notice of the company's value to the industry.

Since hitting its pandemic-low price in March 2020, Axcelis stock has soared by over 350%, making it one of the best performers in the entire sector. It has backed this up with a solid operational performance, nearly doubling its earnings per share to $2.88 in 2021, thanks to soaring demand for equipment in its Purion Power Series line.

That line of ion implantation equipment is used to fabricate chips for a wide range of segments including automotive, mobile, and even artificial intelligence. The company has released a series of announcements since September 2021 informing investors of large shipments of its Purion Power Series products to semiconductor producers across the globe.

Axcelis is so confident in its position that it just announced a share buyback program, with the goal to return $100 million to shareholders -- adding yet another reason to buy its stock.

$ACLS.. Board to implement a one-for-four reverse stock split.

Broke under $2.00

Sticking around at 2.75? Or waiting to get back to 3?

$ACLS Q4 guide lower..Strong third quarter results demonstrate our progress in gaining market share and improving profitability,” said President and CEO Mary Puma. “The rapid adoption of the Purion platform across multiple customers has strengthened Axcelis, allowing us to address the upcoming industry slowdown from a much stronger position. As a result, Axcelis will enter the next upturn with higher market share, a larger and growing customer base, new product capabilities and higher earnings potential.”

So we watch and wait. Still holding some @2.75

Why the immediate drop after the report today? Seems good to me.. Did it fall short in some way?

Whoops. Where'd the floor go?

Everything took a dip today. We're good for a while I believe.

Holding for sure! It was tough to hold through the pre-ER dip, but we're looking good for a gentle ride up now!

Holding all, at this point,

Looking pretty good today, hopeful we become stable and see continued gains toward $4.00 this quarter.

PPS @2.87

Time to ride!

Yeah maybe so! Things seem a little stalled right now awaiting earnings news... Just surprised the pr lately hasn't done more. With a high target and good news? Seems strange!

I think we do well quietly....
$ACLS
Accumulating, Company doing great with a small
share structured 113m OS

It sure is quiet here for all the potential I'm seeing. It seems like big news is treated like small news... Is there something obvious other than a little insider selling that I'm unaware of with ACLS???

$ACLS @2.98..the fourth chipmaker to select the Purion H. The Purion H will be used to develop and manufacture advanced memory devices. The system is scheduled to ship in the third quarter.

John Aldeborgh, executive vice president, customer operations, commented, "This is a significant win for Axcelis. This selection is further evidence of the competitiveness of the Purion H. The Purion platform was specifically designed to address the industry's most challenging technical and economic requirements for advanced planar and emerging 3D devices."

Recently started a position $ACLS
200@ 3.04
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ACLS

Beat estimates by 2c and we only gain 18c. With the new customer wins ACLS will eventually break out of the $2's.

Huge numbers on the 10Q. This looks like one to own.

Picked up some ACLS today. Looking good here.

News for 'ACLS' - (*DJ Axcelis Technologies Files $75 Million Mixed-Securities Shelf)

Under a mixed securities shelf registration, a company may sell securities in one or more separate offerings with the size, price and terms to be determined at the time of sale. They may sell common and preferred stock as well as debt securities

Charts for ACLS are looking highly positive for a continued push upwards. I like the wins the company is getting. And I look forward to seeing some positive earnings shortly. This is not going to spike, however, I can see it continuing an upward curve to $3 in upcoming weeks.

yasuh yasuh! Guess that latest load of 210s are ripening sooner than expected.
I suppose the chart meant to BUY those stone drops ... but having stones always beats having a LOLly pop. Sure is nice to get some income for selling product , instead of selling off more of the company ! So many good choices out there, just gotta avoid the FRAUDS.

rofl or pratfall on an oily floor.
just sold a bunch of 2.08-2.10 that hadn't even settled yet.
hope this falls like a stone again, these stones are diamonds
