Recent press releases and 8-K filings for ADI.
- Analog Devices confirmed a cyclical upturn since the Q2 FY2024 bottom, with sequential order improvements in six of the last seven quarters and growth across all industrial end markets in Q3.
- Automotive revenue is on track for a third consecutive record year, with high-growth sockets (connectivity, functional safety, BMS) comprising ~50% of auto sales; pull-in normalization is expected by Q4 FY2025.
- AI/data center revenues are projected at $500–600 million in FY2025 (up >30% YoY), with key design wins in vertical power and optical modules slated to ramp in 2026, adding about $100 million annually.
- Inventory days on the balance sheet stand at 160 days, while channel inventories remain below six weeks; ADI plans to keep days flat in Q4 by adding inventory to support the upturn and leverage six-week backend cycle times.
- The company aims to restore gross margins to around 70% in Q4 FY2025 through improved utilization and a higher-margin industrial mix, targeting a return to 74% in the longer term as capacity and mix normalize.
- Analog Devices delivered $2.88 B in Q3 revenue, up 9% sequentially and 25% year-over-year; segment performance included industrial +23% YoY (45% of revenue), automotive +22%, communications +40%, and consumer +21%.
- Non-GAAP gross margin was 69.2%, operating margin 42.2% (each +100 bps sequentially and YoY), and EPS reached $2.50, up 30% year-over-year.
- On a trailing-12-month basis, free cash flow was $3.7 B (35% of revenue); cash and short-term investments totaled $3.5 B, and $3.5 B was returned to shareholders over the last four quarters.
- Q4 guidance calls for $3.0 B ± $0.1 B in revenue, operating margin of 43.5% ± 100 bps, and adjusted EPS of $2.22 ± $0.10, with expected sequential growth in industrial, communications, and consumer, and a decline in automotive.
- On June 16, 2025, Analog Devices issued $850 million of 4.250% Senior Notes due June 15, 2028 and $650 million of 4.500% Senior Notes due June 15, 2030 in an underwritten public offering.

- Manufacturing Flexibility: The company emphasized its hybrid manufacturing strategy, with about 70% of products produced through internal and external facilities, helping maintain strong margins despite cyclical revenue declines.
- Growth Targets and Synergies: ADI projects long-term growth in the 7%-10% range, driven by pricing tailwinds, $1B in revenue synergies from the Maxim acquisition, and robust demand in sectors like automotive, industrial, and AI.
- Global Footprint and Innovation: The firm highlighted a diversified manufacturing presence across the US, Ireland, and Asia while increasing investments in R&D and digital/AI capabilities to address competitive pressures, particularly in China.
