Revenue drivers

• Automotive — Record automotive revenue reached 21% of product revenue in Q2 2026, up 21%, driven by connected driving, comfort/style/safety and electrification/powertrain applications.
• Industrial — Serves embedded systems, industrial automation, medical, energy management and smart buildings; the company cites industrial as one of its key focus areas alongside automotive and AI servers.
• AI data center and computing — Covers AI servers, storage and edge AI; management attributed Q2 2026 growth to expanding content in automotive, industrial and AI server related applications.
• Consumer and communications — Includes IoT wearables, home automation, home appliances, charging solutions, smartphones, telecom, enterprise networking and space-based connectivity.

Recent performance

Q2 2026 revenue was $445.5M, up more than 20% year-over-year and 10% sequentially, the sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth. Full-year 2025 revenue was $1.48B, up 13.0% from $1.31B in 2024, the highest annual growth since 2021, with net income of $66.1M and diluted EPS of $1.43. Operating cash flow was $215.5M in 2025 versus $119.4M in 2024. At June 30, 2026, cash and equivalents were $430.4M against total liabilities of $561.1M and long-term debt of $21.9M. Gross margin rose 160 basis points year-over-year in Q2 2026 on cost and operating initiatives.

Strategy

Management is pursuing design wins and expanding content per system across analog and power solutions in automotive, industrial and AI server applications. It continues a hybrid manufacturing model, combining internal wafer fabs and assembly/test with external capacity, and cites cost and operating initiatives put in place during the market slowdown as now benefiting gross margin. The company reported record global point-of-sale in Q2 2026 and describes growth as broad across all regions.

Risks

• Cybersecurity and data protection — The 10-K states that system security risks, data protection breaches and cyber-attacks could disrupt internal operations and reduce net sales.
• Semiconductor demand cyclicality — Revenue fell from $2.00B in 2022 to $1.31B in 2024 before recovering to $1.48B in 2025, showing sensitivity to industry demand swings.
• Geographic concentration in Asia — Wafer fabrication and assembly/test sites are concentrated in China and Taiwan, alongside facilities in England, Scotland, Germany and Maine.
• Customer and market concentration — Exposure is weighted toward automotive, industrial, computing, consumer and communications end markets that can move with broader economic cycles.

Outlook

Management said the Q2 2026 result was the sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth and pointed to broader strengthening demand combined with expanding content. It cited record automotive revenue and continued market share gains across regional auto manufacturers and suppliers, and said cost and operating initiatives are flowing through to gross margin and the bottom line. The company reported record global point-of-sale for the quarter.
