Key Takeaways
ADI's automotive segment rose to 29.7% of fiscal 2025 revenues, up from 20% in fiscal 2022.
Growth is fueled by higher content & share gains in Level 2 ADAS needing complex analog & mixed-signal tech.
ADI cites traction in GMSL, Automotive Audio Bus and Ethernet to the Edge, plus share gains in China.
Analog Devices (ADI - Free Report) has become a crucial player supporting the shift of the automotive industry toward software-defined vehicles, driver assistance technology, electrification and infotainment integration. ADI will also gain traction in Battery Management Systems, Powertrain, Power ICs & Modules, MCUs & Processors, Sensors, which is expected to witness a CAGR 9.1% from 2025 to 2032 to become a $57.5 billion market in 2032, per the report by MarketsAndMarkets.
The automotive segment has contributed 29.7% of fiscal 2025 revenues from 20% in fiscal 2022. The company highlighted in its fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings that its growth is being driven by higher content and share gains in Level 2+ ADAS systems globally, which include sensing, signal processing, connectivity, and functional safety power solutions. These systems require far more analog and mixed-signal complexity than traditional vehicles, where ADI stands out.
ADI has partnered with global manufacturers, and now its portfolio covers products for enriching the in-cabin experience, low emission, navigation, car audio, voice processing and connectivity, battery monitoring and management systems and video processing and connectivity. Analog Devices has cited that traction in Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link, Automotive Audio Bus and Ethernet to the Edge Bus as its major growth engines.
Although the company was facing temporary challenges from tariffs and policy-related decisions of the U.S. government, ADI has been able to gain share in the Chinese vehicle market. Looking ahead, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the automotive segment’s revenues is pegged at $802.36 for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, indicating year-over-year growth of 9.9%.
How Competitors Fare Against Analog Devices
Analog Devices competes with Texas Instruments (TXN - Free Report) and STMicroelectronics (STM - Free Report) in the Automotive segment. Texas Instruments competes with ADI in Analog sensors, power ICs, in-vehicle networking/signal chain, and driver assistance electronics.
STMicroelectronics competes in sensors like MEMS and inertial, analog front ends, interface ICs, and microcontrollers. Both Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics compete with ADI in the broader scope of the Industrial and communication segment.
ADI’s Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates
Shares of ADI have gained 23.2% in the past six months compared with the Semiconductor - Analog and Mixed industry’s growth of 18.3%.
