Synaptics (SYNA -1.44%), a provider of custom semiconductor solutions, reported impressive results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 on Feb. 6, 2025. The earnings release highlighted a strong performance driven by the company's Core IoT segment, which achieved a 63% year-over-year growth.
Synaptics (SYNA) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.
Synaptics' FY2024 revenue declined by 29%, primarily due to weak Core IoT and Enterprise/Automotive segments, despite a recovery in the Mobile segment. Management's growth targets are optimistic, projecting a 10-15% CAGR, driven mainly by Core IoT, which is expected to grow at 25-30% CAGR. Our competitive analysis shows Synaptics' wireless chips lag behind top competitors, but its IoT processors are strong, ranking second among peers.
