Analog Devices is buying Alif Semiconductor for $1.35 billion, adding local AI processing and sensor fusion to its humanoid portfolio. The deal combines Alif’s edge AI with ADI’s already broad offering of sensors, joint control, motors, power, connectivity and simulation. In collaboration with NVIDIA Jetson Thor, ADI envisions an architecture where NVIDIA provides the central AI compute and ADI supplies the robots’ physical "nervous system". » Więcej na finanzen.net

Analog Devices reported fiscal Q3 revenue up 40% year over year, driven by Data Center and Industrial demand, and gave Q4 guidance implying another ~40% revenue increase. Management highlighted rising demand for power-management and distribution hardware used in AI data centers, contributing to doubled net income and a 33% net margin. The company returned $1.7 billion to shareholders, expects continued margin expansion due to modest capex needs for analog chips, and trades at a roughly 22.5 forward P/E with a 0.56 PEG ratio. » Więcej na finance.yahoo.com

Bernstein Research raises Analog Devices from "Market-Perform" to "Outperform" and lifts the price target from $430 to $465 after "very good results."
