Bank of America Pounds the Table on 2 NAND Chip Stocks
The AI boom has opened up new opportunities in tech, and investors have not been shy about buying in. But – some due diligence is needed, because not all of the openings in AI-related tech will bring the strongest returns. Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter One area that does stand out is NAND chips – the non-volatile, high-density memory storage technology that powers everything from smartphones to data centers. These chips are not only essential to solid-state drives but are also increasingly critical to the infrastructure supporting AI and cloud applications. With global demand rising – driven by orders for high-capacity AI servers, expanding cloud services, and the growing footprint of IoT – NAND looks like a compelling investment play. Recognizing this trend, Bank of America is pounding the table on select NAND chip stocks. Its analysts are especially bullish on mid-cap names in the space, seeing them as well-positioned to capture gains as the AI tailwinds grow stronger. With that in mind, we turned to the TipRanks database to check the broader Wall Street sentiment on two of BofA's top picks. Let's take a closer look. Silicon Motion (SIMO) Silicon Motion, the first stock that we'll look at here, is one of the chip industry's smaller players, with a market cap of $2.36 billion and $803 million in total revenue last year. The American-Taiwanese company focuses on designing and producing NAND chips for SSD controllers, and it leads the market in SSDs for servers, PCs, and other client devices. Silicon Motion also supplies the customized high-performance SSD solutions required by hyperscale data center and industrial customers, and its enterprise customers include a wide range of OEMs, NAND flash vendors, and storage device module providers. This past May, Silicon Motion highlighted some of its latest SSD controllers at the COMPUTEX 2025 expo in Taipei. The controllers were the SM2504XT and the SM2324; the first is an ultra-low-power PCIe Gen5 DRAM-less unit that offers industry-leading efficiency, and the second is the world's first true single-chip portable SSD controller capable of supporting USB4. In addition, earlier in May, Silicon Motion secured a partnership with Nvidia for its MonTitan SSD. This is a strategic move that puts Silicon Motion's MonTitan SSD line in the pipeline for Nvidia's AI products. Silicon Motion is aiming for a $1 billion revenue run-rate by the end of this year. Silicon Motion is also looking at a potential resolution of a legal matter later this year. The company was the target of a merger attempt by MaxLinear several years ago, a deal that was abandoned in 2023. The case is headed for arbitration in Singapore, and Silicon Motion may be awarded up to $160 million in payments from MaxLinear. In its 1Q25 results, Silicon Motion reported total revenues of $166.5 million, for a 12% decline year-over-year. The company's earnings per American Depository Share came in at 60 cents by non-GAAP measures, down 27 cents per share from the same period in 2024. Despite the year-over-year decline in revenue and earnings, Bank of America's Simon Woo is still standing squarely in the bull camp. Woo cites several reasons to support his optimistic stance: '(1) gradually increasing enterprise solution sales (leveraging well its partnerships with major NAND chipmakers and US Big Tech companies, including NVIDIA); (2) resilient top-line growth with high GM (low impact of US tariff given strong bargaining power and well-managed foundry sourcing from TSMC); and (3) potential event (US$160mn+ deal break-up fees to be paid by MaxLinear if SIMO wins its Singapore arbitration case in late-4Q25). We believe MaxLinear's payments will be used mostly for special cash dividends, but this event is not yet confirmed. Similar to memory chipmakers, SIMO could also benefit from strongly growing sovereign AI investments by selling eSSD controllers / boot-drivers (known as MonTitan series).' These comments back up Woo's Buy rating on SIMO, and his $90 price target suggests a one-year upside potential of 24.5%. (To watch Woo's track record, click here) Overall, Silicon Motion gets a Strong Buy from the Street's consensus, based on 7 unanimous Buys. The shares are priced at $72.32, and their $82.17 average price target implies a gain of 13.5% in the next 12 months. (See SIMO stock forecast) SanDisk Corporation (SNDK) Next on our list is SanDisk, a company known for its portable memory products. The company's roots go back to 1988, and it was an early developer of flash storage technology. In 2016, SanDisk was acquired by Western Digital, and in February of this year, the company was spun off from Western and became an independent entity again, with shares trading on the NASDAQ exchange. Most consumers probably know SanDisk from its line of USB thumb drives. These products are somewhat ubiquitous and have proven to be useful for customers and successful and profitable for the company. SanDisk makes and distributes thumb drives for USB-A, USB-C, and micro USB in a wide range of capacities, from small 16-gig units to larger 128-gig devices. In addition, the company manufactures memory cards: SD and microSD, CF, CFast, and CFexpress. The company's USB drives and memory cards have found uses with gaming, digital cameras, drones, and in smartphones and tablets. Finally, SanDisk's flagship product line is its array of SSDs, designed for internal, external, or portable uses, as well as to enterprise performance standards. Supporting all of this, SanDisk also markets a wide variety of accessories and peripherals, including card readers, docks, phone adapters, and wire chargers. Some basic numbers will show the scale of SanDisk's operations. The company has more than 10,000 employees working in over 30 countries around the world and protects its intellectual properties with more than 11,000 patents in various global jurisdictions. The company has a $6.8 billion market cap, and its revenues are trending upward. In its fiscal year 2024, which ended on June 28 last year, SanDisk generated $6.66 billion at the top line; for the 12 months ending on March 28 of this year, the company's revenue was up to $7.21 billion. In its last quarterly report, for fiscal 3Q25, SanDisk reported $1.7 billion at the top line, beating the forecast by $73.1 million. Looking at earnings, we find that the company had a non-GAAP EPS for the quarter of 30 cents, 9 cents per share ahead of the forecast. This stock caught the attention of BofA's Wamsi Mohan, who kicks off his coverage with a bullish stance. The 5-star analyst writes, 'Given the near-term supply-demand balance (1Q saw supply curtailment), the pricing environment for NAND is increasingly positive over the next few quarters. Although the industry remains relatively fragmented (6+ players), we view the longer-term outlook favorable with some potential for consolidation over time. With aspirations to drive better pricing in a capex heavy, historically low returns industry, Sandisk plans to pave a path for more disciplined pricing. Longer term, if pricing trends improve structurally for the industry, there could be much higher valuation re-rating potential but we are wary of normalization of such trends especially given pricing competition in China… We see upside to Sandisk operating margin driven by better mix, demand growth and cost control, with long-term target being 20%.' Mohan puts a Buy rating on the shares, complementing that with a $61 price target that points toward a 29% upside on the one-year horizon. (To watch Mohan's track record, click here) The 7 recent analyst reviews on SNDK shares split to 3 Buys and 4 Holds for a Moderate Buy consensus rating. The stock is currently trading for $47.34, and its $62 average price target implies an upside of 31% for the year ahead.

Up Over 100%: These 2 Monster Growth Stocks Earn an Upgrade
Growth investing is a perennially popular strategy – and for good reason. While not all growth stocks are profitable, many are driven by strong business fundamentals and innovative products. These characteristics can fuel long-term appreciation and make them attractive components of a growth-focused portfolio. Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Of course, there's a common caveat: past performance doesn't guarantee future returns – and that's absolutely true. Still, when strong past performance is paired with solid fundamentals and robust forward-looking metrics, it can offer valuable insight. It's not about blindly chasing momentum, but rather recognizing when a stock's surge is backed by substance. That's precisely the case with the real 'monster growth' stocks – ones that have recently posted gains of 100% or more. And they're not just attracting investor attention; they're winning over some of Wall Street's top analysts as well. In fact, some recent upgrades signal growing confidence in their continued trajectory. We dove into the TipRanks database to see which names stand out, and found two of those 'monster growth' stocks with impressive gains, strong Buy ratings, and bullish commentary from analysts. Let's take a closer look. The Metals Company (TMC) The first stock we'll look at is a niche company – but one with a lot of potential. The Metals Company focuses on the biggest mining opportunity of the near future – the exploration and exploitation of metal deposits on the deep sea floor. Specifically, the company aims to locate and recover deposits of polymetallic nodules, a rock-metal alloy deposit that forms naturally on the abyssal sea floor through the precipitation of metals from seawater. The potential here lies in the particular metals that form polymetallic nodules – nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate, copper cathode, and manganese silicate. These alloys contain four of the most important base metals in today's industrial world, metals that are essential in battery production. The sea floor is covered with them, forming a priceless resource at a time when land-based mining is facing a combination of rising costs and falling yields. The Metals Company has the long-term goal of starting a mining operation to recover polymetallic nodules. The company, in May, submitted to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration its first application for a commercial recovery permit in line with the US Seabed Mining Code. The application is the first step toward regulatory approval of operations. The permit application followed President Trump's April 24 executive order prioritizing the exploration and exploitation of offshore resources in critical minerals. That was not the only move the company has made toward setting up operations. Early this month, The Metals Company entered a sponsorship agreement with the Pacific island nation of Nauru for the development of seafloor resources, and on June 16 it announced an investment from Korea Zinc specifically to develop deep-sea critical resources. The Korea Zinc investment totals $85.2 million. All of this could explain why The Metals Company has seen its stock gain 557% in the year to date, despite the company being entirely pre-revenue and currently running quarterly earnings losses. In coverage for Wedbush, analyst Daniel Ives explains the attractions of this stock. 'We have significantly increased confidence in the long-term TMC growth story following the Executive Order signed by President Trump at the end of April along with our recent industry checks to boost domestic critical mineral supply through deep sea mining,' the analyst commented. Ives goes on to outline the company's current state and the foundation it has built to support its future operations, writing, 'The major theme holding TMC back was the lack of a regulatory framework and the recent Executive Order allows the company to bypass the UN-backed ISA and receive a permit to begin commercial production in the Clarion Clipperton Zone much sooner and more likely than before the Trump Administration took over in January. The company has also raised over $120+ million in cash over the past month in strategic investments, including ~$85 million from Korea Zinc on June 16th, which has significantly bolstered its balance sheet to continue to aggressively invest in this generational opportunity with major support from the US government.' For Ives, this situation justifies bumping TMC shares up from Neutral to Outperform (i.e., Buy), and he backs that stance with an $11 price target (up from $6) that indicates his confidence in a 48.5% upside for the coming year. (To watch Ives' track record, click here) There are only 3 recent analyst reviews on record for TMC stock, but they are unanimously positive and give the shares a Strong Buy consensus rating. The stock is priced at $7.47, and its recent gains have pushed it right up to the $7.50 average price target. (See TMC stock forecast) DoorDash (DASH) The next growth stock we'll look at is a familiar name, DoorDash. This Silicon Valley tech firm was founded 12 years ago and built itself up as a leading provider of online food ordering and delivery services, not just in the US but in 25 countries around the world. DoorDash boasts that it can connect its customers with their favorite nearby eateries, as well as support local small merchants and economies, providing convenience. DoorDash has accomplished this through something of a paradox. The company prides itself on supporting small businesses and small consumers, with a bent toward both individual merchants and customers, but DoorDash itself is a major company. It has a $100 billion market cap, and generated more than $10 billion in total revenue last year. The company has been expanding its services, too, and in addition to food orders, customers can use the DoorDash service to arrange deliveries of all sorts of products: snacks and groceries, household essentials, flowers, pet supplies, and even alcoholic beverages. In addition, DoorDash can even facilitate package pickups and deliveries with UPS, FedEx, or the Post Office. In an important move, DoorDash announced in May of this year that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the London-based on-demand delivery company Deliveroo. The deal, which is expected to close during 4Q25, is valued at 2.9 billion GBP (almost $4 billion), and will greatly expand DoorDash's presence in Europe. Selling convenience is a solid niche, and DoorDash has positioned itself as a strong player in it. The company has realized quarterly profits since 3Q24, and its most recent quarterly report, 1Q25, showed quarterly revenues of $3.03 billion, up 21% year-over-year – although it came in just under the forecast, missing by $62.5 million. At the bottom line, DoorDash realized an EPS of 44 cents – a figure that marked a strong turnaround from the 6-cent EPS loss reported in 1Q24 and beat the forecast by 6 cents per share. We should note here that DoorDash's stock price is up 109% over the past 12 months. DoorDash has caught the attention – and enthusiasm – of Raymond James analyst Josh Beck, who after taking the measure of this company, has turned even more bullish. 'We upgrade DASH to Strong Buy (from Outperform) following a bottom-up merger analysis and believe the synergy potential with Deliveroo (ROO) is underappreciated,' Beck, who ranks amongst the top 2% of Street stock experts, said. 'RJ forecasts mid-teens EBITDA accretion in 2026 and high-teens in 2027, which lowers the 2027E EV/EBITDA multiple by 2 turns and equates to an EV/E/G multiple < 1x. We see an attractive $260 target price scenario ($350 bull) provided 1) untapped ROO synergies 2) a seemingly growing emphasis on advertising (recent M&A and $1B run-rate disclosure, still well below peers on a %GOV basis) 3) consistent management execution and 4) eventual autonomous tailwinds…' The 5-star analyst's new Strong Buy rating and $260 price target together imply a 9.5% gain for DASH over the course of the coming year. (To watch Beck's track record, click here) This stock has earned a Moderate Buy consensus rating from the Wall Street analysts, whose 27 recent reviews here break down to 19 Buys and 8 Holds. The shares are currently priced at $237.40 and the recent share appreciation has powered that price right past the average price target of $222.15. Given the discrepancy, it will be interesting to see whether analysts raise their targets or downgrade their ratings shortly.
