Action:ReiteratedDate:03/13/26
ADI’s score is driven primarily by strong financial quality (robust free cash flow and conservative leverage) and a constructive earnings outlook with margin expansion. Offsetting factors are weak near-term technicals and a high P/E with only a modest dividend yield, which reduces valuation support despite improving operating momentum.
Positive Factors
Robust free cash flow and shareholder returns
Sustained FCF near $4.6B and a policy to return ~100% of FCF underpin durable capital allocation flexibility. Strong cash generation funds R&D, modest capex, buybacks and rising dividends, reducing reliance on external financing and supporting shareholder returns through cycles.
Negative Factors
Cyclical revenue and profitability swings
The semiconductor cycle driven revenue volatility complicates planning and can impair consistent margin expansion. Large year-over-year swings reduce visibility for capacity allocation, R&D prioritization and sustaining returns on invested capital, leaving performance sensitive to macro and end-market turns.

Earnings Call Date:Feb 18, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 27, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call communicated strong, broad-based revenue growth, accelerating ATE and data center demand, robust margins, and exceptional cash generation and shareholder returns. Management provided an upbeat Q2 guide with meaningful margin improvement and reiterated long-term investment and capital return priorities. Near-term risks include automotive softness, an inventory build, and one-time pricing/channel effects that buoyed Q1/Q2 results. On balance the positive operational momentum, margin expansion and cash flow generation materially outweigh the noted headwinds.Positive Updates
Revenue outperformance
Q1 revenue of $3.16 billion, up 3% sequentially and 30% year-over-year, coming in above the midpoint of guidance.
Negative Updates
Automotive softness and near-term headwinds
Automotive represented 25% of revenue but was down 8% sequentially in Q1 despite +8% year-over-year. Management expects auto to be flat to down sequentially in Q2 (below typical seasonality) driven by tariff-related order pull-in/unwind and higher exposure to China; Q1 auto book-to-bill finished under 1.

Company Guidance
For Q2 ADI guided revenue of $3.5 billion ± $100 million (about an 11% sequential increase from Q1’s $3.16B), adjusted EPS of $2.88 ± $0.15, and an operating margin at the midpoint of 47.5% ± 100 bps (Q1 was 45.5%), with a tax rate forecast of 11–13%; gross margin is expected to expand roughly 100 bps q/q (≈150 bps on a normalized basis excluding a one‑time ~50 bps channel repricing). Management said OpEx should rise mid‑single digits in Q2 (Q1 OpEx was $812M) but fall as a percent of revenue, producing ~200 bps of sequential operating‑margin improvement; pricing actions account for ~1/3 of the Q2 sequential revenue increase (about half of that is nonrecurring channel repricing), so ex‑price sequential growth is ~7% versus the 11% headline. By end market, Q2 assumptions include industrial up ~20% sequential (~50% YoY), communications up high‑single digits (~60% YoY), automotive flat to down sequential, and consumer down mid‑single digits. Corporate balance‑sheet and cash‑flow anchors cited: cash & short‑term investments $4.0B, net leverage 0.8, inventory days 171, TTM operating cash flow $5.1B, TTM CapEx $0.5B (fiscal ’26 CapEx expected to be 4–6% of revenue), TTM free cash flow $4.6B (39% of revenue); the company reiterated a long‑term target to return 100% of FCF and raised the quarterly dividend 11% to $1.10.Analog Devices Financial Statement Overview
