Let’s see how things have shaped up for Wolfspeed prior to this announcement.

Factors to Note for WOLF’s Q3 Results

Wolfspeed’s fiscal third-quarter performance is expected to suffer from weak Materials Products revenue due to sluggish end-market demand and higher inventory levels.

However, Wolfspeed’s strong position in the semiconductor market, particularly within the electric vehicle (EV), and high-voltage power sectors is noteworthy. The company is expected to benefit from the increasing contribution from its Mohawk Valley plant.

Wolfspeed’s EV revenues have been robust, with approximately 92% year-over-year growth in the fiscal second quarter. The momentum is expected to have continued in the fiscal third quarter driven by an increase in the total number of car models using low-speed silicon carbide devices.

Wolfspeed anticipates increased revenue contributions from its Mohawk Valley facility, targeting around $55 million to $75 million, as the company increases production.
