Revenue Growth

A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years. Over the last five years, Allegro MicroSystems grew its sales at a sluggish 4.4% compounded annual growth rate. This was below our standard for the semiconductor sector and is a tough starting point for our analysis. Semiconductors are a cyclical industry, and long-term investors should be prepared for periods of high growth followed by periods of revenue contractions.

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within semiconductors, a half-decade historical view may miss new demand cycles or industry trends like AI. Allegro MicroSystems’s performance shows it grew in the past but relinquished its gains over the last two years, as its revenue fell by 14.2% annually.

This quarter, Allegro MicroSystems reported robust year-on-year revenue growth of 21.9%, and its $203.4 million of revenue topped Wall Street estimates by 2.8%. Adding to the positive news, Allegro MicroSystems’s growth inflected positively this quarter, indicating that the recent cyclical downturn is likely in the rearview mirror. Company management is currently guiding for a 12.1% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter.

Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 15.3% over the next 12 months, an improvement versus the last two years. This projection is noteworthy and suggests its newer products and services will spur better top-line performance.

Product Demand & Outstanding Inventory

Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) is an important metric for chipmakers, as it reflects a business’ capital intensity and the cyclical nature of semiconductor supply and demand. In a tight supply environment, inventories tend to be stable, allowing chipmakers to exert pricing power. Steadily increasing DIO can be a warning sign that demand is weak, and if inventories continue to rise, the company may have to downsize production.

This quarter, Allegro MicroSystems’s DIO came in at 141, which is 23 days above its five-year average. These numbers suggest that despite the recent decrease, the company’s inventory levels are higher than what we’ve seen in the past.
