Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) is a leading global semiconductor company specializing in high-performance analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal-processing (DSP) integrated circuits that bridge the physical and digital worlds.

The company has a market capitalization of $173.8 billion, which classifies it as a “large-cap” stock. Its portfolio spans data converters, amplifiers, RF components, power management ICs, MEMS sensors, and DSP processors, foundational technologies enabling advanced electronics across automotive, industrial automation, communications infrastructure, healthcare equipment, and consumer devices globally.
Analog Devices’ stock reached a 52-week high of $363.20 in the last trading session and has surged 43.2% over the past three months. In contrast, the State Street SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF (XSD) has gained 17% in the same time frame.

On Feb. 18, Analog Devices reported a strong fiscal Q1 2026 print, sending its shares up 2.6% as results topped expectations. The company posted revenue of $3.16 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.46, both ahead of consensus, driven by resilient demand across its core industrial and automotive franchises. Strength in electrification and automation applications helped offset continued softness in communications and consumer markets, underscoring the durability of ADI’s high-margin, long-cycle analog model.
