Rambus, Inc. (RMBS) Latest News
22 Sep
Rambus is a memory-interface specialist whose silicon underpins next-gen server memory modules. DDR5 ramps, HBM4E design wins at Tier 1 hyperscalers, and PCIe 7 IP licensing on the horizon create a constructive 12-month setup. 24/7 Wall St assigns a $117.71 price target, about 20% above current, rating it a buy with high confidence. Q2 FY2026 revenue rose 20.4% to $207.38 million; non-GAAP EPS was $0.77, beating estimates. Management says Rambus is well positioned to capitalize on AI inference and agentic workloads, with licensing revenue expected to grow 10-15% annually and peak in 2027 as MRDIMM and PCIe 7 licensing ramp. Bear risk centers on higher inventory and softer memory demand, while the forward multiple remains undemanding given the AI memory roadmap and potential licensing upside. HBM licensing win and AI memory roadmap could materially lift Rambus’s long-term revenue mix and valuation, though near-term memory-cycle risks and inventory pressure cap upside.
