Electrification And Automation Will Expand Global Markets

Key Takeaways

• Electrification, industrial automation, and new EV product rollouts are fueling Allegro's long-term revenue growth, deeper customer ties, and stronger market positioning.
  
• Manufacturing improvements and robust demand signals are driving gross margin gains, product differentiation, and a likely reacceleration in shipments and top-line growth.
  
• Rising competition in China, dependence on automotive markets, ongoing price pressures, and geopolitical risks threaten growth, margins, and global market access for Allegro.

Catalysts

Designs, develops, manufactures, and markets sensor integrated circuits (ICs) and application-specific power ICs for motion control and energy-efficient systems.

• Allegro is positioned to benefit from the growing electrification of vehicles and increased adoption of ADAS features, as evidenced by strong sequential and year-over-year growth in e-Mobility sales, sizable design wins with global and Chinese OEMs, and ongoing innovation in current sensors and gate drivers-all supporting sustained revenue and earnings growth over the long term.
  
• Industrial automation and data center markets are rebounding, with design wins and expanding content in high-growth sectors (data center cooling, robotics, automation), indicating increasing demand for Allegro's advanced sensors and power ICs; this should drive higher revenues and incremental margin improvements as secular demand trends strengthen.
  
• Ongoing investments and recent improvements in proprietary manufacturing and test yield (notably in TMR sensor ICs) are translating to cost reductions and enhanced gross margins, which is expected to continue as product differentiation and scale improve, positively impacting net margins.
  
• Channel inventory reductions are largely complete, and forward demand signals are robust (order backlog, strong bookings, customer inventory replenishment discussions), highlighting a likely reacceleration in shipments and top-line growth as restocking trends emerge, especially in automotive and industrial segments.
  
• The rollout of new products tailored for next-generation EV platforms (ASICs for xEV inverters, isolated gate drivers for silicon carbide power systems) is expanding Allegro's addressable market and deepening customer engagement, laying the groundwork for sustained revenue growth and potential gross margin uplift as content per application increases.

Allegro MicroSystems Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Allegro MicroSystems's revenue will grow by 17.3% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from -9.0% today to 20.1% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach $247.9 million (and earnings per share of $1.13) by about August 2028, up from $-68.6 million today.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 39.1x on those 2028 earnings, up from -86.0x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Semiconductor industry at 30.0x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 0.57% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 10.34%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Allegro MicroSystems Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• Intensifying competition in China, particularly from local suppliers and efforts to localize semiconductor production, presents risks of price pressure and potential market share loss for Allegro, which could limit long-term revenue growth in one of its largest markets.
  
• Heavy reliance on the automotive sector-especially e-Mobility and ADAS-exposes Allegro to customer concentration risk and cyclical downturns in auto, while ongoing uncertainty over OEM inventory adjustments and only flat global automotive production forecasts create potential for delayed or volatile revenue growth.
  
• Persistent customer price negotiations and the expectation of "normal" single-digit annual price declines, especially alongside required cost innovation to maintain margin, could compress gross margins if cost reductions cannot keep pace with pricing pressures.
  
• Ongoing high levels of R&D and CapEx spending to drive innovation, maintain technology leadership, and serve diverse end markets could weigh on net margins and free cash flow, especially if competitive dynamics or market shifts result in lower incremental revenue from new products.
  
• Long-term geopolitical risks-including trade tensions, tariffs, and potential restrictions on semiconductor supply chains-combined with heightened environmental and regional regulatory pressures, may raise operating costs, restrict global market access, or increase compliance complexity, impacting both revenue visibility and earnings over time.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of $38.417 for Allegro MicroSystems based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $45.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $30.0.
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $1.2 billion, earnings will come to $247.9 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 39.1x, assuming you use a discount rate of 10.3%.
• Given the current share price of $31.86, the analyst price target of $38.42 is 17.1% higher.
• We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
