On July 31, Silicon Motion Technology rose 5.84% in regular trading, trading at $269.475/share, with turnover of $18.77 million, extending the strong momentum following its blowout Q2 earnings report.
The company reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $2.43, beating the analyst consensus of $2.14 by 13.55% and surging 252% year-over-year. Revenue reached $451 million, exceeding estimates of $403.4 million by 11.8% and rising 127% year-over-year. Adjusted gross margin came in at 50.2%. The Q3 revenue guidance of $519 million to $541 million dramatically exceeded the market consensus of $432.1 million, driven by broad-based growth in embedded, automotive, and AI storage segments.
The stock had previously declined over 15% following Morgan Stanley's warning that the AI-driven semiconductor memory cycle was approaching a peak, with memory contract prices expected to top out in Q4. The latest earnings and forward guidance have served as a powerful catalyst for price recovery, effectively alleviating concerns over an imminent cycle downturn.
