Analog Devices’ first-quarter fiscal 2025 revenues of $2.42 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.5% and came in line with management’s guidance.
While the consumer end market delivered a strong performance, the persistent weakness in the industrial, communications and automotive sectors has resulted in a 3.6% year-over-year decline in the top line.
However, the better-than-expected financial results prompted Analog Devices to provide optimistic guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Its second-quarter top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate while the bottom line matched the same.
The strong outlook is likely to boost ADI’s share price, which already surged 27.6% in the past year, outperforming the Zacks Semiconductor - Analog and Mixed industry's return of 4.6%.
