Valuation Metrics
Fundamental Analysis
Key Financial Insights: ⢠Narrowing losses ⢠Strong gross margin ⢠Positive free cashflow The company has materially narrowed losses and restored positive quarterly free cash flow with strong gross margins and low leverage, but high R&D-driven operating expenses and rich valuation metrics leave upside dependent on sustained profitability.
Price Behavior
Key Price Behavior Insights: ⢠Higher lows ⢠Tested resistance ⢠Short-term overbought Support Level: $137.93 Resistance Level: $146.90 SLAB has trended higher over the last month, rising from about $135.84 to $146.45 with higher lows (support ~$137.93) but faces resistance near $146.90 and short-term overbought risk.
Sentiment & News
Key News Insights: ⢠Earnings acceleration ⢠200-day breakout ⢠CES product push Silicon Labs looks set for 2026 momentum after late-2025 earnings-acceleration mentions, a technical breakout, CES IoT product strength, and a CISO hire despite insider share sales.
AI Summary
SLAB's investment case has shifted to an executionâdependent, marginâled turnaroundâif management can convert the recent high gross margins (beyond a few highâmargin parts and a oneâtime uplift) into diversified product mix gains plus repeated positive FCF and revenue growth, the stock merits a reârating, but any reversal or impairment risk would likely cause swift multiple compression.
