Cirrus Logic Inc. (CRUS - Free Report) reported better-than-expected top line and bottom-line results for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
The company’s non-GAAP earnings per share of 28 cents topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 6 cents. However, the figure declined 65.4% year over year due to lower revenues and higher operating expenses.
Total revenues of $254.5 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $231 million. However, the figure was down 20.7% year over year.
Nonetheless, a higher-than-expected demand for portable audio combined with growing momentum of demand for features for enhanced user experience, across the company’s target markets, including flagship and mid-tier smartphones, advanced mobile accessories and in-home connected devices remained positive.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
