Cyclical pressures continued to hurt Lattice’s recent quarterly results, and shares struggled. We believe some of these headwinds are set to ease. Most semiconductor companies have been impacted by their customers’ destocking elevated inventories in recent quarters, but this seems to be nearing completion. However, other factors, such as macro-related weakness in 5G wireless infrastructure investment, may take longer to turn. Lattice expects to return to growth in the second half of 2024, partly fueled by the company’s steady flow of new product launches, which continues to drive market share gains. During the quarter, sentiment toward the stock further weakened due to the departure of Lattice’s well-respected CEO. While we were disappointed to see him go, he’s taking on an exciting turnaround challenge, and we believe the company’s strategy and operations are on very strong footing. We modestly added to the position ahead of what we view as a likely profit cycle acceleration in the year’s second half.” View Source6: Lattice Semiconductor: Poised for Growth Amidst Market Challenges View Source

Cyclical pressures continued to hurt Lattice’s recent quarterly results, and shares struggled. We believe some of these headwinds are set to ease. Most semiconductor companies have been impacted by their customers’ destocking elevated inventories in recent quarters, but this seems to be nearing completion. However, other factors, such as macro-related weakness in 5G wireless infrastructure investment, may take longer to turn. Lattice expects to return to growth in the second half of 2024, partly fueled by the company’s steady flow of new product launches, which continues to drive market share gains. During the quarter, sentiment toward the stock further weakened due to the departure of Lattice’s well-respected CEO. While we were disappointed to see him go, he’s taking on an exciting turnaround challenge, and we believe the company’s strategy and operations are on very strong footing. We modestly added to the position ahead of what we view as a likely profit cycle acceleration in the year’s second half.” View Source
