Analog Devices Earnings: We Expect Firm to Weather the Current Cyclical Downturn
Wide-moat Analog Devices reported decent fiscal fourth-quarter results but provided investors with a modestly disappointing outlook for fiscal 2024's first quarter, as it is facing a cyclical downturn across several end markets. We think the company is taking the right steps to weather the storm. We’re confident that it is not losing market share, still has industry-leading analog design expertise, and benefits from high switching costs across its customer base. We maintain our $196 fair value estimate and view the shares as modestly undervalued.
