London-listed semiconductor company Alphawave Semi 's stock is set to double over the next 12 months, according to Jefferies. The investment bank has set a price target of £2.70 (or 270p) on Alphawave's shares, which implies an upside of 112% from the current level. The bullish view comes despite Jefferies noting Alphawave's "disappointing" profit margins and negative free cash flow in the first half of 2023. According to the investment bank, Alphawave has already achieved four design wins using the advanced " 3nm" manufacturing process, two of which are with major U.S.-based cloud computing giants. The investment bank expects shares to rise by more than 40% over the next 12 months to £1.80 (or 180p) a share.
