Bank of America has designated Technoprobe and Soitec as its top picks among European small and mid-cap semiconductor companies poised to capitalize on expanding artificial intelligence infrastructure. Technoprobe, whose AI exposure accounts for roughly 50 percent of sales and is projected to reach 70 percent by 2028, guided its 2026 revenue and EBITDA 33 percent and 65 percent above consensus at the midpoint. Consequently, BofA lifted its 2026-28 revenue projections by 40 to 48 percent. Meanwhile, Soitec commands an estimated 95 percent market share in photonics-SOI wafers, benefiting heavily from surging data center bandwidth requirements and optical port expansion. BofA upgraded both equities to Buy, citing robust earnings visibility and upcoming capacity enhancements.
