Question · Q2 2026
Jillian Olivier asked if there were any changes to Cirrus Logic's smartphone unit outlook for the year, despite better recent results, and requested more details on new products for AI PCs, including their impact on SAM, expected revenue, and customer interest.
Answer
CFO Jeff Woolard reiterated that while the quarter was strong due to smartphone units, the company's view on upcoming seasonality remains consistent with historical patterns, and they are only guiding for the next quarter. CEO John Forsyth explained that AI PC voice features are a significant and recent topic, expanding the PC SAM. He detailed key drivers including penetration into higher volume tiers, SoundWire propagation, expanded support across PC platform vendors, and advanced voice features for AI, such as enhanced audio capture and low-power voice wake. He noted that the first device focused on these features began sampling in the December quarter, with revenue expected later.
