DA Davidson analyst Thomas Diffely upgraded Ichor Holdings (ICHR) to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $34, up from $25. The analyst says that at 11-times his expected forward earnings, the stock is attractively priced relative to its closest peer Ultra Clean Holdings' (UCTT) 14-times multiple. Diffely is also positive on Ichor Holdings taking share from ASML Holding (ASML) and Appliet Materials (AMAT) with added strong leverage exposure to the "eventual memory recovery".

Grupo Santander analyst Carlos Trevino downgraded ASML to Underperform from Neutral with a EUR 635 price target.

"We expect second-quarter total net sales between EUR 5.7 billion and EUR 6.2 billion with a gross margin between 50% and 51%.

We see 2024 as a transition year with continued investments in both capacity ramp and technology, to be ready for the turn in the cycle," said ASML president and CEO Peter Wennink.
