Power Integrations (NASDAQ:POWI) Issues Earnings Results

Power Integrations (NASDAQ:POWI) posted its quarterly earnings data on Wednesday. The semiconductor company reported $0.46 earnings per share for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.42 by $0.04, FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $125.48 million during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $126.03 million. Power Integrations had a net margin of 5.58% and a return on equity of 5.50%.

Here are the key takeaways from Power Integrations’ conference call:

• Profitability and cash generation improved: Q3 revenue rose 6% year over year to $125.5 million, while non-GAAP operating margin reached 21.4% and EPS increased 28% year over year. The company also generated $37 million in free cash flow and raised its quarterly dividend.
• Q4 outlook implies continued growth: The company forecast revenue of $118 million to $126 million, with the midpoint representing 18% year-over-year growth, and expects non-GAAP gross margin of about 55%. Management attributed the outlook to industrial strength and recent design wins, while noting softer consumer demand and supply constraints.
• Elevated channel inventory and supply issues remain risks: Channel inventory rose 4.5 weeks to 11.8 weeks amid weak appliance demand, delayed metering projects, and customers’ higher buffer-stock requirements; management expects inventory to remain above target and potentially sit at 9–10 weeks next year. Separately, high-power demand currently exceeds supply, with packaging and PCB constraints limiting the company’s ability to fulfill it.
• GaN and strategic-market opportunities are expanding: Power Integrations reported strong GaN design-win momentum, growing data-center opportunities—including four 800-volt auxiliary-power design-ins expected to enter production in 2027—and a larger automotive pipeline. Management sees potential to double its serviceable addressable market by 2031, though main-path data-center products are expected to roll out in 2028–2029.
