ADI's Industrial Segment Improves: What's Driving the Growth?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
ADI's Industrial segment rose 23% year over year in Q3 fiscal 2025.
Growth came from AI-driven test equipment, aerospace and double-digit automation.
Partnerships with Teradyne and NVIDIA expand ADI's robotics and simulation footprint.
Analog Devices’ (ADI - Free Report) Industrial segment is experiencing massive growth on the back of demand for its offerings across instrumentation, automation, health care, aerospace and defense and energy management businesses, as mentioned in their recent earnings call. The Industrial segment grew 23% year over year in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
The industrial segment showed robust growth across all subsectors and geographies, mainly driven by automatic test equipment, benefiting from AI chip infrastructure buildout and record aerospace & defense performance. ADI’s automation business also showed double-digit growth. ADI sees potential to double its automation business by 2030.
In the robotics front, Analog Devices has partnered with Teradyne to advance its footprint in the robotics market. ADI’s positioning and dynamic motion control systems are enabling Teradyne to develop high-performing cobots and autonomous mobile robots for the logistics industry.
ADI is also working with NVIDIA on digital twin simulations and reference designs for humanoid and advanced robotic systems. With all these factors at play, ADI expects its Industrial segment to grow at the fastest pace among all its segments. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ADI’s fiscal 2025 and 2026 revenues is expected to grow 15% and 17.4%, respectively.
How Competitors Fare Against Analog Devices
Analog Devices competes with Texas Instruments (TXN - Free Report) and STMicroelectronics (STM - Free Report) in the Industrial segment. Texas Instruments competes with ADI in industrial signal chains, precision sensing, and power management, especially in PLCs, factory automation, and motor control. STMicroelectronics competes in industrial MCUs, motor drivers, sensors, and automation systems.
In the robotics space, STMicroelectronics provides sensors, motor control ICs, and power management for cobots, AMRs, and humanoid robots. In automation, Texas Instruments provides low-power precision analog and sensing for medical imaging, patient monitoring, and diagnostics.
Both STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments compete with ADI in the aerospace and defence business through their radiation-hardened analog and mixed-signal ICs, secure communications, and avionics systems.
ADI’s Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates
Shares of ADI have gained 14.9% year to date against the Semiconductor - Analog and Mixed industry’s growth of 11.1%.
