On October 29, MaxLinear fell 5.11% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $70.3 per share, with turnover of $636,000.
The move appears tied to post-earnings valuation pressure, as at least two brokerages lowered their target prices after the company reported better-than-expected third-quarter results and issued fourth-quarter revenue guidance above consensus.
Background details show MaxLinear reported adjusted third-quarter EPS of $0.62, above market expectations of $0.56, on revenue of $218.1 million, up 72% year over year and also ahead of forecasts. The company guided fourth-quarter revenue to $240 million-$260 million, compared with consensus expectations of $226.6 million. Despite those beats, the subsequent target price reductions have weighed on near-term risk appetite and capped the positive earnings read-through.
