Soitec Coverage Initiation: Buy, €190 Silicon (and more) on insulator for everybody

We initiate coverage this morning on Soitec with a Buy rating, €190 target price.
Soitec has one of the strongest market positions and growth outlooks in the semiconductor industry. It pioneered the SmartCut technology in the 1990’s, and has successfully deployed it in the RF-SOI and FD-SOI markets with a de-facto monopoly. Going forward, Soitec can sustainably grow 20%+ p.a., driven by continued 5G content growth, the proliferation of IoT devices, penetrating the RF filter market, and ramping an adaptation of SmartCut for the silicon carbide market. The stock has pulled back significantly this year, even on a relative basis, and we view this as a great entry point for investors.
