8-Day Rally Sends Analog Devices Stock Up 24%
Analog Devices (ADI) stock hit day 8 of a continuous streak of days with gains, with cumulative gains over this period amounting to a 24% return. The company has gained about $22 Bil in value over the last 8 days, with its current market capitalization at about $118 Bil. The stock remains 32.7% above its value at the end of 2024. This compares with year-to-date returns of 16.5% for the S&P 500.
Analog Devices’ recent streak ignited post-Q4 earnings beat, riding robust demand for its chips in industrial automation, EVs, and AI infrastructure. Upbeat Q1 guidance and multiple analyst target hikes, some to $300, signal solidifying leadership in key growth markets.
What is the point? Momentum often precedes conviction. A multi-day win streak can signal growing investor confidence or spark follow-on buying. Tracking such trends can help you ride the strength, or prepare for a well-timed entry if momentum fades. Our take: There is not much to fear in ADI stock given its overall Strong operating performance and financial condition. But given its Very High valuation, the stock appears Relatively Expensive (see Buy or Sell ADI).
For quick background, ADI provides data converters, high-performance amplifiers, and RF/microwave ICs for analog and digital signal processing across industrial, automotive, consumer, aerospace, and communications markets.

While ADI stock looks attractive given its winning streak, investing in a single stock without detailed, thorough analysis can be risky. The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
