Nordic Semiconductor (Buy, TP: NOK145.00) - Perception-reality gap set to close

We believe 2025 could be the first – and last – year in the next product/technology cycle before the gap between the group’s reported and fundamental competitiveness versus its peers starts to close and the market shifts from being concerned about loss of market share for its nRF52 series towards optimism for its nRF54 series.

Hence, we expect solid earnings ahead, with our estimates implying an 23% average earnings yield for 2025–2...
