ℹ️ How are these calculated?
🎯 Investment Thesis
Q4 2025 earnings beat (Feb 11) — results came in at or above high end of guidance on revenue, gross margin, and EPS. Mix improvements and cost discipline driving margin expansion. Comms infrastructure and data center segments strong. At 21x PE with fabs in US, Germany, Singapore — the geopolitical hedge thesis is intact and strengthening as results prove the business model.
⚠️ Key Risk
Analyst sentiment still lukewarm despite the beat — Citi Neutral $42, Wedbush downgraded to Neutral $40, BofA Underperform $37. Smart mobile devices revenue declined. Chinese foundry competition on mature nodes increasing. Near 52-week high ($48.88) — limited margin of safety if recovery stalls.
By The Numbers
Event Impact
Mature node chips for power management in AI data centers.
No defense or energy exposure.
No quantum relevance.
US/EU fabs. Mature node chips that can't come from TSMC if Taiwan at risk.
Moderate debt. Capex-intensive fab operations benefit from lower rates. Not heavily leveraged.
Makes power management chips used in grid infrastructure. Minor indirect exposure.
CHIPS Act beneficiary with US fabs. Defense chip supply chain relevance. Less exposed than INTC to fiscal shifts.
