Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on Analog Devices, Lowers Price Target to $170

Analog Devices's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NYSE">ADI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 15.12% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Analog Devices's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.

Stifel Maintains Buy on Analog Devices, Lowers Price Target to $225

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">semiconductor sector</a> is bracing for a shakeup, and JPMorgan&#8217;s Harlan Sur isn't mincing words. "Expect in-line results but tariff/trade related dynamics to drive weaker 2Q/2H25 and negative earnings revision cycle." That's Wall Street-speak for buckle up &#8211; it's about to get bumpy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Troubles: A 15-25% EPS Trim Ahead?</h2>
As first-quarter earnings begin to roll in, Sur says the Street should prepare for a "kick off negative earnings revision cycle," with forward EPS estimates potentially being slashed by 15-25% over the next few quarters. Investors hoping that semi stocks had already hit bottom after a ~25% tariff-driven slump may be in for another jolt &#8211; Sur sees another 10-15% downside from here.
But this isn't just about numbers. The broader concern is about confidence, or lack thereof. "Rapidly changing tariff headlines are negatively impacting consumer and business confidence," Sur notes, with turn business — which can make up 20-30% of guidance &#8211; now at risk due to reduced visibility. Add in China's latest tariff volley against U.S.-fabricated chips, and names like Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), Texas Instruments Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), Qorvo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>), and Skyworks Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>) suddenly look exposed.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI And Datacenter: The Only Bright Spots</h2>
That said, JPMorgan isn't throwing out the entire chip basket. Sur urges a "selective" approach, spotlighting Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Analog Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>) as top picks &#8211; all tied closely to AI and data infrastructure. These are the companies best positioned to ride the "strong demand in accelerated compute/AI," even if GPU giants like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) face potential downside from tightening China restrictions and "upcoming AI diffusion rules."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EDA, Semicap: Downturn-Proof Darlings</h2>
In the tools-of-the-trade corner, KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) and Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) also earn JPM's stamp of approval. EDA players like Synopsys are seen as resilient. "R&amp;D budgets don't get cut in downturns," Sur says, a mantra every long-term investor in chip design software should pin to their monitors.
Meanwhile, the "flat-to-down" outlook for WFE (wafer fab equipment) in 2025 spells more caution for semicap names, though JPMorgan still favors Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>), KLA Corp, and Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) &#8211; all expected to outperform thanks to "rising capital intensity" and growing service revenue.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Down-Cycle Playbook Moment Is Here</h2>
The macro backdrop remains fraught. JPM economists now peg the chance of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy">U.S. recession at 60%</a>, as the tariff storm clouds hang heavy. Demand pull-forward in smartphones might make the first quarter look fine, but "incremental conservatism" is expected to dominate the second quarter and H2 guidance.
Bottom line? 
This is a "down-cycle playbook" moment. The sector's long-term structural story — AI, content tailwinds, and rising chip complexity — remains intact. But for now, it's all about threading the needle between "inevitable slowdown" and the pockets of AI-driven strength.
And as Sur says, "remain selective on stocks."

Shares of chip stocks are trading lower after NVIDIA said it was recently informed by the US government that it will need a license to export chips to China. Additionally, warned that tariffs have increased uncertainty surrounding the company's outlook, which may be adding to the weakness across the board.

In the current market session, Analog Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>) price is at $179.54, after a 0.53% spike. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 14.16%, and in the past year, by 5.22%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>How Does Analog Devices P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Analog Devices has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 111.96 of the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744754420_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

The update sent the stock prices sliding on Friday.
Beijing on Friday retaliated against the 145% U.S. tariff duties by increasing its tariffs on U.S. imports to 125%.
Also, this week, Trump&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/04/44725578/technology-stocks-outperform-after-trumps-tariff-pause-microchip-technology-amd-lead-sector-higher" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced that he</a> would pause tariffs on countries that have not retaliated against U.S. trade measures for 90 days.
Wedbush&#8217;s&nbsp;Dan Ives&nbsp;expected&nbsp;&#8220;massive negotiations&#8221; and highlighted China as the &#8220;biggest wild card&#8221; for markets.&nbsp;
Taiwan Semiconductor <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44732800/taiwan-semiconductor-reports-255-billion-q1-revenue-surges-42-in-despite-us-tensions" rel="noreferrer noopener">launched an additional</a> $100 billion&nbsp;investment&nbsp;in U.S. chipmaking (on top of $65 billion in April 2024) to escape Trump&#8217;s wrath for allegedly &#8220;stealing&#8221; the U.S. semiconductor business, leading to massive trade deficits for Washington.
Trump also criticized Taiwan for its lack of a defense treaty, as the U.S. is a key military backer of Taiwan. The President suggested scrapping U.S. subsidies to chipmakers like Taiwan Semiconductor to build fabs in the country to boost its semiconductor position.
Price Action: INTC is down 3.24% to $19.24 and TSM is up 3.96% to $156.95 at the last check on Friday.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

OLED

Shares of chip stocks are trading lower amid an overall market reversal on US-China trade tensions.

Shares of chip stocks are trading higher amid overall market volatility. Stocks across sectors have been volatile on Monday, with tech stocks rebounding following earlier weakness.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">Semiconductors may power</a> everything from Tesla Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) cars to toothbrushes, but they can't outrun geopolitics.
With trade tensions heating up again, chip stocks have already taken a 25–30% hit, and JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur says, &#8220;We see the potential for further ~10% downside (range of 5-15%) over the next six months.&#8221;
The good news? That may be the final flush before a rebound.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Aren't The Problem &#8211; Demand Destruction Is</h2>
Despite investor jitters, Sur says the direct impact of tariffs on chipmakers is minimal. Most U.S.-designed chips are manufactured and tested abroad, not directly shipped into the U.S., shielding them from most tariff crossfire. Even China's retaliatory moves barely dent the sector directly.
Instead, the real problem lies in sticker shock. With end-products like smartphones and cars expected to rise 5–10% in price, consumers may start pulling back. A $300-more-expensive iPhone or a costlier EV could stall demand, ultimately hurting semiconductor sales.
Inventory caution from buyers only adds to the pressure.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2018 Called &#8211; It Wants Its Trade War Back</h2>
Sur points to the 2018 U.S.-China tariff battle as a cautionary tale. Back then, chipmakers were riding high—until trade tensions slammed the brakes on the upcycle. Demand weakened, earnings were revised down and stocks nosedived by up to 35%. Memory stocks were hit the hardest, while software-centric names like Synopsys proved more defensive.
Sur sees echoes of that pattern in 2025: stocks are selling off ahead of earnings cuts, which could help clear the air for recovery. If history repeats, a three-to-five-month drawdown followed by a Fed-assisted rebound isn't out of the question.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broadcom, Analog Devices, KLA, Synopsis: Selective Is The Safe Play</h2>
In this storm, Sur's sticking with what held up last time. He favors Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Analog Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>), KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) and Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) &#8211; stocks that blend strong fundamentals with exposure to AI, design software and increasing chip complexity.
These names outperformed during the 2018-2019 drawdown and are positioned to be more resilient this time around.
The bottom line? 
Semiconductor stocks may not be done falling, but with earnings resets coming soon, the worst might be behind us.

Broadcom, Analog Devices Could Slide ~10%, Analyst Warns, But A Bottom Could Be Near

Shares of chip stocks are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

Analog Devices's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NYSE">ADI</a>) short percent of float has risen 10.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.50 million shares sold short, which is 1.72% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.1 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Analog Devices Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743601515_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Analog Devices has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Analog Devices's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Analog Devices's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.67%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Analog Devices?

President Donald Trump has set up a new body within the Commerce Department to manage the CHIPS and Science Act, 2022. 
What Happened: A new entity, the United States Investment Accelerator within the Commerce Department, will now oversee the CHIPS Act program, as established by an executive order signed by Trump on Monday.
Despite Trump&#8217;s past criticism of the bipartisan legislation, the White House said in its fact sheet that the new office will focus on &#8220;negotiating much better CHIPS Act deals&#8221; and streamlining investment processes through reduced regulatory burdens and faster permitting.
According to the <a href="https://www.semiconductors.org/chip-supply-chain-investments/">Semiconductor Industry Association</a>, the CHIPS Program has granted awards worth $32.5417 billion and provided loans up to $5.85 billion to 32 companies across 23 states. 
However, the new entity — Investment Accelerator that will be controlling the CHIPS Act, not only plans to expedite corporate investments but promises to deliver &#8221; the benefit of the bargain for taxpayers,&#8221; as per the Whit House fact sheet.
Other primary goals of the body include;
<ul>
<li>Reducing regulatory burdens</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Speeding up permitting;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Coordinating responses to investor issues across multiple Federal agencies; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Increasing access to national resources;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Facilitating collaboration with national laboratories; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Working with all 50 state governments and their economic development organizations.</li>
</ul>
Here are the U.S.-listed beneficiaries that have received grants under the CHIPS and Science Act, 2022 in the past.

Why It Matters: Trump has been vocal about his criticism of the CHIPS Act. On March 4, during his joint address to Congress, he said, &#8220;Your Chips Act is a horrible, horrible thing.&#8221;
He also urged U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to &#8220;get rid&#8221; of it and use &#8220;whatever is left over&#8221; to &#8220;reduce debt or any other reason you want to.&#8221;
However, the White House&#8217;s new plan has passed on the management of the act to the new entity. Since his time in office, Trump has been able to convince companies to invest in the U.S.
In early March, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE: TSM revealed its plans to inject another $100 billion into U.S. advanced semiconductor manufacturing, significantly expanding its ongoing $65 billion Arizona initiative and bringing total investment to $165 billion.
Similarly, the Magnificent 7 companies are widely expected to spend more than $330 billion on capex in 2025. While the chipmaker Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) hasn't explicitly mentioned a target during its earnings call, the iPhone maker Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) broadly expects to spend $500 billion over the next four years. The remaining companies, however, have provided a specific target for 2025.

Days After Calling The CHIPS Act A 'Horrible Thing,' Donald Trump Sets Up New Entity For 'Negotiating Much Better...Deals:' Here's More

Following his industry update report, BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya spotlighted his three diversified <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">semiconductor top picks </a>on Friday.
Recovery processes will be staggered and related to company-specific exposures. Still, the bottom seems to be near for most, with industrial semiconductors leading the way (improving PMIs, Europe re-industrialization) and auto semiconductors following in the second half of 2025 if/when OEM/EV production data points improve.

Arya acknowledged lingering risks around tariffs and economic contraction but noted that diversified stocks are defensive and tend to outperform when SOX declines &gt;10%.
In order from &#8220;lower beta&#8221; in recovery to &#8220;higher beta,&#8221; Arya&#8217;s top picks are Analog Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>) ($280 price target), NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) ($235 price target), and ON Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) $60 price target.
The top analog/industrial-semi pick is ideal for defensive exposure as Analog Devices has outperformed the PHLX Semiconductor Sector 23 out of the last 29 times the index declined +10% since 2010. Higher confidence in the second half of 2025 recovery supported by the analog semiconductor market returning to growth (according to SIA data) and sequential KPI improvement. FIFO recovery &#8211; consensus expects Analog Devices to rebound fastest in calendar 2025 at +13% sales growth (peers -15% to +10%).
Using the fiscal 2018 and 2019 baselines, Analog Devices&#8217; industrial sales are still 15-20% below the trend, leaving upside headroom. The superior free cash flow generation with a line of sight to 37% margins in fiscal 2025, well above peers&#8217; average of 17%, while buybacks may double with $10 billion new authorization.
Arya liked the relatively benign sales peak-to-trough correction to date at -18%, tied with Infineon for the shallowest downcycle thus far among peers, indicating prudent execution. The multiple NXP Semiconductors-specific product cycles make up ~40% of auto sales and accelerate growth in recovery, including software-defined vehicle products. The recent acquisitions of Kinara, TTTech, and Aviva Links enhance the total portfolio value proposition.
ON Semiconductor has weathered a -30% drawdown year-to-date, but as per Arya, the stock setup is compelling, given high leverage to any improvement in Auto/EV sentiment. Estimates reset hard post-fourth-quarter earnings, now show calendar 2025 sales down -15%, below peers ranging from -13% to +13%. 
Even with tariff and demand uncertainty, much seems baked in. The steady Silicon carbide share gains at Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and intense exposure at China EVs where 800v demand reflecting.
Allegro MicroSystems, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGM#NASDAQ">ALGM</a>) deal, if secured, may deliver 4%-7% accretion by calendar 2027 while augmenting the sensor portfolio. Despite the downturn, free cash flow % could improve to mid-20% from calendar 2024&#8217;s 17%. On the calendar 2026 EV/FCF basis, 11 times multiple is 50% below the 5-year median of ~20 times.
Price Actions: ADI stock is down 3.52% at $201.58 at last check Friday. NXPI is down 4.79%, and ON is down 6.03%.
