Analog Devices Inc. Wednesday posted stronger sales across its
divisions for the first fiscal quarter, according to what the
company described as an industry-wide recovery following the
initial effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Wilmington, Mass.-based electrical-components company said
earnings rose to $1.04 a share, up from 55 cents a share in the
same quarter one year earlier. Net income was $388.5 million,
compared with $203.9 million in 2020's first quarter.
The company's adjusted earnings were $1.44 a share. Analysts
surveyed by FactSet had forecast a first-quarter adjusted profit of
$1.33 a share.
Analog Devices' revenue rose 20% to $1.56 billion, from $1.3
billion in the year-ago period. Analysts were expecting revenue of
$1.51 billion.
Continued momentum in bookings and lean industry-wide inventory
levels have given the company confidence that a broad recovery is
underway, Chief Executive Vincent Roche said.
Sales grew fastest in the company's industrial segment, which
saw sales rise 24% to $855.5 million. Communications sales climbed
16% to $281 million, while Automotive sales improved by 19% to
$245.3 million.
Consumer sales rose 5% to $176.7 million.
The company's gross margin percentage improved to 67.1%, from
65.1% a year earlier.
