Astera Labs Inc. (NASDAQ:ALAB) stock traded higher Tuesday, rebounding from the prior session’s pullback after TD Cowen raised its price forecast for the stock while maintaining a Hold rating. The gain came as the broader market advanced, with the Nasdaq up 1.36% and the S&P 500 adding 0.39%.

On Tuesday, TD Cowen maintained a Hold rating on Astera Labs but raised its price forecast for the stock to $425. The update follows a period of significant growth for the fabless chip company, with the stock remaining up 120.51% year to date.

Monday Sector Weakness Reverses

The Tuesday rebound follows a down session on Monday, where chip stocks faced pressure. Fabless semiconductor companies traded lower due to volatility initiated in South Korea after declines in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix dragged down the KOSPI index and U.S. peers.

Market weakness also stemmed from rising energy costs following military exchanges between the U.S. and Iran, alongside comments from President Donald Trump.

Monday’s decline was also driven by profit-taking, index rebalancing adjustments following the company’s June 22 inclusion in the Nasdaq-100, and insider liquidations.

SEC filings detailed that Board Chairman Manuel Alba and Director Stefan Dyckerhoff executed multi-million dollar automated divestments under Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
