Billionaire Druckenmiller is betting on this chipmaker stock after dumping Nvidia; Time to buy?

Stanley Druckenmiller, the billionaire behind Duquesne Family Office, continues to target the semiconductor space despite fully exiting his position in Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA).

Notably, after selling Nvidia in Q3 2024, he has initiated a substantial new stake in Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC).

Druckenmiller exited Nvidia after riding its early AI-driven surge, citing stretched valuations. He later acknowledged the move as a mistake, noting the stock continued to post strong gains after his exit.

Instead of re-entering Nvidia, his family office redirected capital to Lattice, acquiring 925,970 shares worth about $68 million by the end of 2025.

Indeed, Lattice Semiconductor focuses on low-power programmable solutions, including field-programmable gate arrays used across communications, computing, industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. 

The company is particularly positioned to advance edge-based AI, where efficiency, security, and real-time processing are critical.

LSCC stock fundamentals

Recent performance supports the shift, for instance, in Q4 2025, Lattice reported revenue of $145.8 million, up 9.3% sequentially and 24.2% year over year, the strongest growth in seven years. 

Growth was driven by its Communications & Computing segment, with server-related revenue rising about 85% for the full year. Full-year revenue reached $523.3 million, up 2.7%.

For Q1 2026, the company guided revenue between $158 million and $172 million, with a midpoint implying over 37% year-over-year growth.

Meanwhile, a section of Wall Street analysts has maintained a bullish outlook on LSCC shares. Of 12 analysts tracked by TipRanks, 11 rate the stock a buy and one a sell, with no holds. The average 12-month price target of $110.08 suggests about 24% upside from the current $88.62, with estimates ranging from $88 to $135.

Overall, Lattice’s focus on low-power, edge AI solutions positions it to benefit as artificial intelligence expands beyond data centers into everyday devices and industrial systems. However, semiconductor stocks remain cyclical and sensitive to broader market conditions.
