Analog Devices (ADI) Q3 Earnings & Revenues Top Estimates

Zacks Equity Research

Analog Devices Inc. ADI delivered third-quarter fiscal 2019 adjusted earnings of $1.26 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4 cents. However, the bottom line decreased 16.6% year over year and 7.3% sequentially.

Revenues of $1.48 billion surpassed the consensus mark of $1.45 billion. However, the top line declined 5% year over year and 3.3% from the previous quarter.

This can be attributed to the company’s weak performance in consumer, industrial and automotive end markets during the reported quarter. Moreover, macroeconomic headwinds affected the top line.

Nevertheless, the company’s solid momentum in the communications market was positive. Further, its strong focus toward product portfolio diversification and innovation remains a tailwind. Also, growth opportunities in electric vehicles and 5G are encouraging and are likely to benefit the company in the near term.

Coming to share price performance, shares of Analog Devices have returned 29% on a year-to-date basis, outperforming the industry’s rally of 27.4%.



Revenues by End Markets
