Why Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) Is Down 7.2% After China Prioritizes Local AI Chipmakers Over U.S. Suppliers

December 14, 2025

Earlier this week, China updated its procurement guidelines to prioritize domestic AI chipmakers over U.S. suppliers, signaling reduced reliance on foreign semiconductor technology amid ongoing trade tensions.

Allegro MicroSystems Investment Narrative Recap

To own Allegro MicroSystems, you need to believe in sustained demand for its power and sensor ICs in electric vehicles, ADAS and industrial automation, supported by a growing product portfolio and improving profitability. China’s new procurement tilt toward domestic AI chipmakers increases the near term uncertainty around Allegro’s China exposure, but it does not appear to directly hit the company’s current auto and industrial design win driven catalysts, while reinforcing geopolitical and market access risks that were already on the radar.

Against this backdrop, Allegro’s launch of the ACS37100 high bandwidth TMR current sensor for xEV charging, clean energy and AI data centers looks especially relevant, since it underlines how much of the story still hinges on gaining content in fast growing auto and data center power applications rather than on AI compute silicon itself. That product focus may help cushion indirect fallout from China’s AI procurement policies, but it also means investors should watch closely how design wins translate into revenue as global auto and industrial demand ebbs and flows.

Yet the bigger issue investors should be aware of is how quickly China focused competition could reshape Allegro’s pricing power and...

A landmark settlement is meant to punish Meta (META). If the 1998 tobacco deal is any guide, it might protect it.

Worth looking at what previous legal action actually did to Meta rather than reaching for tobacco. The FTC's record five billion dollar privacy fine in 2019 was met with the stock rising, because it came in below fears and removed an open question. GDPR was designed to constrain large platforms and increased their share of the European ad market, because compliance cost fell hardest on small intermediaries. The FTC's antitrust case, the one that could genuinely have broken the company up, was decided in Meta's favour last November. The only thing that ever meaningfully hurt the business was Apple changing a tracking default, and Meta out-spent that too, while the ad-tech firms that could not afford to rebuild disappeared. The pattern is not that Meta survives regulation. It is that regulation keeps costing its smaller competitors more.

Great earnings season, but are the earnings real?

At first glance, this was the strongest earnings season in years. But when you look at where the growth actually came from, the story splits into two very different pictures.
