Lattice Semiconductor Corp
Lattice Semiconductor makes programmable chips called FPGAs, along with the software tools that let engineers design them into products. These chips are not fixed-purpose processors; customers can reconfigure them to handle specific tasks such as control logic, interface bridging, and image or sensor processing. The company sells mainly to electronics makers that need flexible chips with low power use and a small physical footprint. Its main customers are industrial, communications, automotive, and consumer-device companies, plus original equipment manufacturers and design teams that build embedded systems. Lattice makes money by selling its chips, related software, and support to customers that need a reliable component supplier over the life of a product. In many cases, its chips are designed into a device early and then stay there for years, which makes the relationship important and sticky. What makes Lattice different is its focus on smaller, lower-power programmable logic rather than the larger, more power-hungry FPGAs used in high-end computing. That puts it in a niche where flexibility matters, but so do battery life, heat, and board space. In plain terms, Lattice helps other companies add custom digital functions to their products without designing a new chip from scratch.

Beat and raise: Lattice said Q1 revenue of $170.9 million grew 42% year over year, with EPS of $0.41 up more than 80% and above the high end of guidance.
Strong outlook: Q2 revenue guidance of $175 million to $195 million and EPS guidance of $0.42 to $0.46 point to continued strong momentum, with management saying the business is growing faster than they expected at the start of the year.
AMI deal: Lattice announced a definitive agreement to acquire AMI for $1.65 billion, describing it as a strategic move that expands the company into firmware, manageability and secure control.
End-market strength: Compute and Communications was a record quarter, while Industrial and Embedded also improved meaningfully, helped by better demand and lower channel inventory.
Demand visibility: Management said bookings are strong, backlog extends well into 2027, and channel inventory has come down from 3 months to close to 2 months.
Margin discipline: Gross margin held at 70%, and management said the AMI deal should be immediately accretive to gross margin, free cash flow and EPS without relying on cost cuts.
