Factors to Consider

Strength across industrial and automotive end markets are expected to have driven the top line of Analog Devices in the fiscal third quarter.

The solid momentum of Analog Devices’ precision signal chain, power franchises, sensing technologies, and wired and wireless connectivity among factory automation applications is expected to have contributed well to its industrial revenues in the quarter under review.

The company’s power management and RF portfolios are likely to have aided growth across instrumentation and test applications. The upside, in turn, is expected to have driven industrial revenues.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for industrial revenues is pegged at $1.66 billion, indicating growth of 6.4% from the year-ago fiscal quarter.

The rising uptake of the Battery Management System solution in the electric vehicle space is likely to have been a tailwind. The growing traction across A2B solutions is likely to have driven Analog Devices’ performance in the automotive market in the fiscal third quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for industrial revenues is pegged at $738 million, indicating growth of 12% from the year-ago fiscal quarter.

This apart, the growing deployment of 5G is expected to have continued benefiting the company’s performance in the communication end-market.

However, ongoing inventory corrections are expected to have hurt the company’s prospects in this market. The consensus mark for communication revenues is pinned at $414 million, reflecting a decline of 15.7% year over year.

Strength in home entertainment, hearables and wearables is expected to have aided ADI’s performance in the consumer market in the to-be-reported quarter. However, inventory corrections are expected to have been a headwind for Analog Devices in the consumer market.

The consensus mark for communication revenues is pegged at $292 million, reflecting a decline of 27.9% year over year.
