Lattice Semiconductor Rises 2.57% with 441st Trading Volume Rank, Backed by Analyst Upgrades

Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ:LSCC) rose 2.57% on August 6, 2025, with a trading volume of $270 million, a 40.29% decline from the previous day, ranking 441st in market activity. The stock ended a six-day losing streak after KeyBanc and Stifel upgraded their ratings, citing improved backlog and inventory normalization in the compute and communications sectors. KeyBanc set a $70 price target (43.6% upside), while Stifel maintained a $60 target (23% upside), highlighting Lattice’s growth outlook for 2025 and 2026.

The company reported Q2 2025 revenue of $124 million, flat year-over-year, with net income dropping 87% to $2.9 million and a 2.3% profit margin, down from 18% in 2Q 2024. Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.021 missed analyst estimates by 79%. Despite these results, analysts noted that inventory normalization risks have largely subsided, with sector-specific recovery observed in the first half of the year.

A strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming the benchmark by 137.53%. This highlights liquidity-driven momentum in volatile markets, though high-volume stocks may carry risks of rapid trend shifts.
