Key Takeaways From The Earnings Release

  • In Q3, Analog revenue grew 16% y-o-y due to growth in revenues from Power and Signal Chain products, while Embedded Processing revenue grew 17% y-o-y. The operating margin increased in both businesses, as 300 mm fab facility utilization grew during the quarter.
  • Automotive and Industrial products continue to drive growth as the automation in these industries is boosting semiconductor demand. The company, through its 300-millimeter analog production, has a diverse product portfolio for these segments.
  • The company’s gross margin improved by 250 basis points to 64.5% due to improved manufacturing efficiency. The significant increase in TI’s gross margins in the last few years has been driven by an increasing proportion of production occurring on the 300-mm capacity. As the analog business grows, the company’s incremental growth will be built on 300mm. In addition to the expanding revenue base, the increasing proportion of manufacturing on 300mm, as opposed to 200mm, will help sustain or even further grow gross margins.
