Synaptics Worth A Look As IoT Grows And Margins Recover
Summary Synaptics is pivoting toward AI-native IoT solutions, highlighted by Astra processors and collaborations with Google and Broadcom. Legacy segments remain challenged, and between weaker legacy lines and a lack of commercial scale in new business, operating margins remain well off prior highs. I anticipate revenue growth acceleration and margin recovery as IoT edge-AI and communications offerings gain traction and legacy markets stabilize. SYNA appears undervalued below the mid-$80s, with fair value in the high-$80s to low-$90s if high-teens operating margins are achieved. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaNarrative Update • Dec 15

Synaptics: A Painful Transition
Summary Synaptics' transition to IOT has led to significant revenue losses and inconsistent performance, making me cautious despite the stock being down 80% from its peak. The company's shift from PC and mobile to IOT involved costly acquisitions, but revenues have fallen from $1.7 billion to around $1 billion, with no realistic earnings reported here. Recent financials show slight improvements, but stock-based compensation and acquisition costs continue to weigh heavily on realistic earnings, which remain non-existent. Despite a low sales multiple and some positive developments, the mixed track record and lack of earnings make me hesitant to buy the dip, opting for a cautious stance.

Synaptics Incorporated: A Value Play For The Patient
Summary We're putting Synaptics on the radar for longer-term investors based on our belief that the stock is trading below its intrinsic value and showing modest recovery in its end markets. SYNA's end markets, including IoT, Enterprise, auto, and mobile, show modest sequential recovery, with management guiding for 3% Q/Q sales growth next quarter. Synaptics is a value play, in our opinion, with a P/E of 26.7x and EV/Sales of 3.0x, trading below semi-peer averages. We see an opportunity for longer-term investors to explore entry points into the stock at current levels and let the pace of recovery play out on its own.

Synaptics Should Snap Back Over The Next Year
Summary Synaptics has seen a painful inventory correction cycle undermine its revenue and margins even more than I expected, hitting the share price as well. Business should be set to recover from here, with a return to double-digit growth within a few quarters and 20%+ growth in 2H'25. The company's focus on AI-enabled edge devices, including the new Astra platform, should drive the next era of growth, but I would like to see an expanded focus beyond the consumer. Mid-teens growth over the next five years, high single-digit long-term revenue growth, and improving margins can support a fair value of $100 or higher.
