The second quarter of 2023 brought mixed results for the analog semiconductor industry, with average revenues exceeding analyst consensus by 1.9%, but shares fell due to lower-than-expected revenue guidance for the next quarter and concerns over interest rates.
Impinj (NASDAQ:PI), a manufacturer of RFID hardware and software, led the pack with a significant 43.8% year-over-year (YoY) revenue growth, reaching $86 million. Despite this robust performance, the company’s future revenue guidance was less than inspiring, which could have contributed to the overall sector’s share price drop.
ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:ON), with a focus on autos, industrial applications, and cloud data centers, reported flat revenues of $2.09 billion. The company managed to surpass analysts’ earnings per share (EPS) estimates and provided an optimistic outlook for future revenues.
However, not all companies in the sector fared as well. Himax Technologies (NASDAQ:), a display driver chip manufacturer, had a challenging quarter with revenues falling 24.8% YoY to $235 million. The company also failed to meet analysts’ revenue estimates.
Analog Devices (NASDAQ:), a high-performance analog integrated circuits provider, saw a slight decrease in revenues by 1.07% YoY to $3.08 billion, missing analysts’ revenue expectations.
Monolithic Power Systems (NASDAQ:), a power management chip specialist, also reported a decline in revenues by 4.31% YoY to $441.1 million.
Looking forward, the semiconductor sector is expected to navigate through the challenges posed by interest rate fears and lower-than-expected revenue guidance for the next quarter.
