Press Release: Lattice To Showcase Advanced Edge Ai Solutions At The Fpga-Forum 2026

As the craze of earnings season draws to a close, here’s a look back at some of the most exciting (and some less so) results from Q3. Today, we are looking at processors and graphics chips stocks, starting with Allegro MicroSystems .

The biggest demand drivers for processors (CPUs) and graphics chips at the moment are secular trends related to 5G and Internet of Things, autonomous driving, and high performance computing in the data center space, specifically around AI and machine learning. Like all semiconductor companies, digital chip makers exhibit a degree of cyclicality, driven by supply and demand imbalances and exposure to PC and Smartphone product cycles.

The 9 processors and graphics chips stocks we track reported a very strong Q3. As a group, revenues beat analysts’ consensus estimates by 2.7% while next quarter’s revenue guidance was 12,441% above.

In light of this news, share prices of the companies have held steady. On average, they are relatively unchanged since the latest earnings results.

Weakest Q3: Allegro MicroSystems

The result of a spinoff from Sanken in Japan, Allegro MicroSystems is a designer of power management chips and distance sensors used in electric vehicles and data centers.

Allegro MicroSystems reported revenues of $214.3 million, up 14.4% year on year. This print exceeded analysts’ expectations by 1.4%. Despite the top-line beat, it was still a mixed quarter for the company with revenue guidance for next quarter topping analysts’ expectations but EPS in line with analysts’ estimates.

“We delivered strong second quarter results, with sales of $214 million, up 14% year-over-year, and led by growth in both e-Mobility and Industrial & Other, increasing 21% and 23% year-over-year, respectively. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.13, increasing more than 60% year-over-year,” said Mike Doogue, President and CEO of Allegro.

Interestingly, the stock is up 7.7% since reporting and currently trades at $33.10.
