Let’s see how things have shaped up for Wolfspeed prior to this announcement.

Factors to Note

Wolfspeed has been benefiting from a strong pipeline of design-ins across a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial and energy end markets in the quarter under review.

Further, strong demand for merchant and captive materials is likely to have favored the company in the to-be-reported quarter.

Moreover, Wolfspeed’s top-line growth is expected to have benefited from strong power devices and material product lines. Ramping up the Mohawk Valley facility is expected to boost top-line growth and save costs. Mohawk Valley’s scale, automation and wafer size advantages are anticipated to lower overall die costs by more than 50%.

However, Wolfspeed has been suffering from weak demand for RF products and a challenging macroeconomic environment.
