Nordic Semiconductor : Solid momentum in the short term, already well priced in, and probably overestimated in the long term
Nordic Semiconductor, leader in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), is entering a recovery cycle driven by the rebound in PC accessories and the launch of its nRF54 chip (2026e sales at +16%). But we think this momentum is already largely priced into what is a demanding valuation (relative-to-peer premium of ~40%). This exposes the group to the risk of de-rating in the event of disappointment. Moreover, we think long-term growth in BLE and operating leverage are probably overestimated (we are 18% below the css on 2028e EBITDA). We are initiating coverage with a Neutral rating and a target price of NOK 140.Nordic Semiconductor is a fabless semiconductor company which designs, sells and delivers integrated circuits and related intellectual property for use in short-range wireless applications.
