The earnings call shows mixed signals: revenue and EPS growth, but cautious guidance due to market dynamics and tariffs. The Q&A reveals concerns about inventory adjustments and market uncertainties, though there's optimism in new CEO strategies and technology differentiation. Share buybacks and dividends are positive, yet the market cap suggests limited stock movement. Overall, the sentiment is neutral due to balanced positive and negative factors.
Revenue $116 million, up 9% year-over-year. Reasons for change: Growth driven by industrial category, metering, home and building automation, broad-based industrial, and high power, including solar energy and high-voltage DC transmission.
