How much a stock's price changes over time is a significant driver for most investors. Not only can price performance impact your portfolio, but it can help you compare investment results across sectors and industries as well.

The fear of missing out, or FOMO, also plays a factor in investing, especially with particular tech giants, as well as popular consumer-facing stocks.

What if you'd invested in Analog Devices (ADI - Free Report) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to ADI for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today?

Analog Devices' Business In-Depth

With that in mind, let's take a look at Analog Devices' main business drivers.

Analog Devices, Inc. is headquartered in Wilmington, Massachusetts. The company is an original equipment manufacturer of semiconductor devices, specifically, analog, mixed signal and digital signal processing (DSP) integrated circuits.

The product line is composed of amplifiers and comparators; analog to digital converters; digital to analog converters; video encoders and decoders; embedded processing products and DSPs; MEMS and temperature sensors; RF/IF components and converters; power and thermal management ICs, audio/video converters, amplifiers, CODECs, filters and processors.

The company also offers analog, digital and RF switches and multiplexers; analog microcontrollers; clock and timing products; voltage references; interface products such as isolators, translators and transceivers; wireless products and converters; broadband products including amplifiers, CODECs, chipsets, splitters.

Analog Devices has manufacturing facilities in the United States, Ireland, and Southeast Asia. The company also uses outside foundries, mainly Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company for front-end processing and third-party subcontractors for back-end operations.

Notably, the company generated $11.02 billion in revenues in fiscal 2025.

The company generates revenues from four organized end-markets – Industrial, Consumer, Communications and Automotive.

In the Industrial market (46% of fiscal 2025 revenues), Analog Devices caters to the needs of industrial and instrumentation, defense/aerospace, energy management and healthcare sectors.

In the Communications market (13%), Analog Devices offers products required in internet infrastructures, broadband and wireless applications.

For the Automotive market (28%), the company offers products that are utilized in infotainment, electrification, autonomous, ADAS and safety applications.

Further, the company takes care of the requirements in feature-rich, high-performance products such as portable devices and prosumer video/audio equipment in the Consumer market (13%).

Bottom Line

Putting together a successful investment portfolio takes a combination of research, patience, and a little bit of risk. For Analog Devices, if you bought shares a decade ago, you're likely feeling really good about your investment today.

A $1000 investment made in June 2016 would be worth $7,759.60, or a gain of 675.96%, as of June 19, 2026, according to our calculations. This return excludes dividends but includes price appreciation.

In comparison, the S&P 500's gained 262.13% and the price of gold went up 212.32% over the same time frame.

Analysts are anticipating more upside for ADI.

Analog Devices is benefiting from a broad-based recovery, with Industrial and AI-related data center demand driving higher utilization and favorable mix. Management cited record bookings across its core B2B markets and guided for continued growth next quarter, supporting a constructive multi-quarter view. Long-cycle exposure in automation, test, aerospace and defense, energy storage and vehicle electrification provides durability as channel inventories remain within targeted ranges. The planned Empower Semiconductor acquisition adds differentiated power technology for AI accelerators and vertical power delivery. Cash generation supports sustained dividends and buybacks, but investors must weigh tariff and export uncertainty, intense analog competition, and balance sheet leverage. Execution remains key over time.

The stock is up 13.08% over the past four weeks, and no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 11 higher, for fiscal 2026. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.
