The earnings call indicates strong financial performance with a 76% YoY EPS increase, improved operating margins, and sustainable revenue growth in data centers. Although semiconductor growth guidance was revised downwards due to tariffs and demand issues, management remains optimistic about revenue levels and future opportunities. The Q&A reveals positive sentiment towards AI data center growth and new product success. The market cap suggests a moderate reaction, leading to a positive stock price prediction of 2% to 8% over the next two weeks.
Second quarter revenue $442 million, up 21% year-over-year. The increase was driven by strong demand in the data center computing market.
Semiconductor revenue $210 million, up 11% year-over-year but down 6% sequentially. The year-over-year growth was supported by higher service revenue, while the sequential decline was due to customers shifting delivery schedules to mitigate tariff impacts.
Data center computing revenue $142 million, up 94% year-over-year and 47% quarter-over-quarter. The growth was attributed to increased demand for new data center power solutions.
Industrial and Medical revenue $69 million, down 13% year-over-year but up 7% sequentially. The year-over-year decline was due to market corrections, while the sequential growth was supported by increased backlog and improved customer inventory.
Telecom and Networking revenue $22 million, flat sequentially. No significant changes were noted.
Gross margin 38.1%, up 280 basis points year-over-year and 20 basis points sequentially. The improvement was driven by actions to manage manufacturing costs despite increased tariff expenses.
Operating margin Increased 110 basis points sequentially. This was due to revenue growth outpacing operating expenses.
Earnings per share (EPS) $1.50, up 76% year-over-year. The increase was driven by gross margin expansion and overall leverage in the business model.
Cash flow from operations $47 million, up 21% sequentially. The growth was supported by increased revenue and operational efficiency.
Data Center Power Solutions: Strong demand for high-efficiency, high-power density products, particularly for AI applications. Won several next-generation programs expected to support growth in 2026.
Semiconductor Platforms: Strong customer interest in eVoS, eVerest, and NavX platforms. Revenue from these platforms expected to double in 2025 as initial wins transition to production.
Industrial and Medical Products: Investments in new products, website, and sales efforts led to record design wins, some of which are generating revenue this year.
Data Center Market: Revenue grew 94% year-over-year and 47% sequentially. Growth driven by hyperscale design wins and AI-related opportunities.
Semiconductor Market: Revenue grew 11% year-over-year but declined 6% sequentially. Mid-single-digit growth expected for 2025.
Industrial and Medical Market: Sequential revenue growth of 7%, though still down 13% year-over-year. Backlog increased for the first time since early 2023.
Gross Margin Improvement: Closure of the last China factory in June contributed to gross margin improvement, expected to approach 40% by the end of 2025.
Tariff Mitigation: Actions include qualifying products under USMCA, optimizing supply chain, and working with customers to reduce costs.
Operational Efficiency: Operating margin increased by 110 basis points sequentially, driven by revenue growth outpacing operating expenses.
Business Diversification: Focus on three distinct target markets (Data Center, Semiconductor, Industrial & Medical) to mitigate cycle risks and drive consistent profitability.
Acquisition Strategy: Actively pursuing acquisitions with a solid pipeline of opportunities to enhance growth and scale.
Tariff Costs: The tariff environment remains dynamic, leading to increased costs that are difficult to predict. Tariff expenses were higher than expected in Q2, impacting gross margins. Mitigation strategies are being implemented, but the overall impact remains a challenge.
Supply Chain and Manufacturing Costs: The closure of the last China factory and the shift to other facilities have incurred production ramp costs. While these actions aim to improve gross margins, they also present short-term operational challenges.
Semiconductor Revenue Volatility: Semiconductor revenue declined sequentially in Q2 due to customer delivery schedule shifts to mitigate tariff impacts. This volatility could affect revenue consistency.
Industrial and Medical Market Weakness: Revenue in the Industrial and Medical segment was down 13% year-over-year, indicating ongoing challenges in this market despite sequential growth.
Economic Uncertainty: The broader economic impact of tariffs and other factors could pace growth in Industrial and Medical markets, adding uncertainty to future performance.
Revenue Growth: Overall 2025 revenue growth is projected at approximately 17%. Data Center revenue is expected to grow over 80% in 2025, while Semiconductor revenue is projected to grow mid-single digits. Industrial and Medical revenue is expected to recover with modest sequential growth in Q3 and Q4.
Data Center Market: Demand is expected to remain at or above Q2 levels in the second half of 2025. Growth projection for data center revenue has been increased from 50% to more than 80% for 2025. Next-generation designs are scheduled to ramp in 2026, with AI-related opportunities expected to drive incremental growth in 2026 and beyond.
Semiconductor Market: Revenue from next-generation plasma power products is expected to double in 2025. Mid-single-digit growth is projected for the semiconductor market in 2025. Strong customer interest in eVoS, eVerest, and NavX platforms is expected to drive revenue growth in 2026 and beyond.
Industrial and Medical Market: Demand is recovering, with a stronger order book driving higher sequential revenue in the second half of 2025. Design wins in medical imaging, robotics, process control, and mil aero are expected to accelerate growth and market share gains.
Gross Margin: Gross margin is expected to improve to 38.5% in Q3 2025 and reach between 39% and 40% exiting the year, including the impact of tariffs. Structural improvements in manufacturing costs and the closure of the final China factory are expected to contribute to margin improvement.
Earnings Per Share (EPS): Q3 2025 non-GAAP EPS is expected to be $1.45, plus or minus $0.25.
Capital Expenditures: Increased investments are planned over the next several quarters to support growth in the data center market, infrastructure capability, and factory consolidation strategies.
Acquisition Strategy: The company continues to actively pursue strategic acquisitions and has a solid pipeline of potential opportunities.
Dividends Paid: During the second quarter, the company paid $4 million in dividends.
Share Repurchase: The company repurchased $23 million of its common stock at an average price of $83.83 per share during the second quarter.
The earnings call presents a strong growth outlook with a projected 17% revenue growth for 2025, driven by significant increases in data center and semiconductor markets. Despite some unclear responses, the company shows readiness for expansion with new facilities and strategic acquisitions. The positive guidance and strong financial health, alongside a focus on high-margin products and market share gains, suggest a positive stock price movement. However, the market cap indicates a moderate reaction, leading to a 'Positive' prediction of 2% to 8% increase over two weeks.
