Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ:LSCC) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Meets Estimates

Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ:LSCC) released its quarterly earnings results on Tuesday. The semiconductor company reported $0.32 earnings per share for the quarter, meeting analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.32, Briefing.com reports. The company had revenue of $145.79 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $143.18 million. Lattice Semiconductor had a net margin of 5.50% and a return on equity of 4.73%. The firm’s quarterly revenue was up 24.2% on a year-over-year basis. During the same period in the previous year, the business earned $0.15 earnings per share. Lattice Semiconductor updated its Q1 2026 guidance to 0.340-0.380 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Lattice Semiconductor’s conference call:

• Q4 revenue of $145.8M (up 9.3% sequential, 24.2% YoY) and Q1 2026 guidance midpoint of $165M (+37% YoY) with EPS guidance implying accelerated momentum into 2026.
• Gross margin and operating leverage improved in 2025 (non-GAAP gross margin ~69.3%) and management expects EPS to grow faster than revenue due to mature-node economics and operating leverage.
• New-product momentum — new product revenue grew ~70% in 2025 and is expected to be mid-20s% of total revenue in 2026, supported by record design wins across Data Center AI and Physical AI.
• Strong cash generation and capital returns — $133M free cash flow in 2025, $100M of buybacks completed and the board authorized an additional $250M repurchase program.
• Management flagged tight supply and lengthening lead times (notably substrate and assembly); while they are increasing orders and see bookings into 2027, supply execution remains a near-term risk.
