MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. reported fiscal first‑quarter 2026 revenue of $271.6 million, a 24.5 % increase from $217.8 million in the same period a year earlier and a 4.0 % rise from $261.4 million in the prior quarter. The growth was driven by all three operating segments: Industrial & Defense revenue rose to $117.7 million, Data Center revenue climbed to $85.8 million, and Telecom revenue increased to $68.1 million. The data‑center segment, in particular, benefited from heightened demand for high‑performance RF and optical solutions that support AI‑driven workloads and next‑generation 5G deployments.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share reached $1.02, beating the consensus estimate of $0.9973 by $0.0227 (a 2.3 % beat). The earnings beat was largely a result of disciplined cost management and a favorable product mix that shifted toward higher‑margin data‑center and defense contracts. Gross margin expanded to 57.6 % of revenue, up from 54.5 % in the previous quarter and 53.7 % a year earlier, reflecting improved utilization, pricing power, and the continued success of the company’s vertical‑integration strategy.
For fiscal second quarter 2026, MACOM guided revenue of $281 million to $289 million, adjusted gross margin of 57.0 % to 59.0 %, and adjusted EPS of $1.05 to $1.09. The guidance signals management’s confidence that demand for high‑performance semiconductor solutions will remain robust, especially in the data‑center and defense markets, while cost pressures are expected to stay under control.
President and CEO Stephen G. Daly said the company “delivered a solid start to fiscal year 2026” and emphasized continued focus on executing the strategic plan and delivering differentiated solutions across its Industrial & Defense, Data Center, and Telecommunications segments. He highlighted the company’s ability to capture growth in AI‑driven data‑center infrastructure and advanced defense systems, underscoring the importance of its high‑performance RF and optical product portfolio.
MACOM’s strong cash position—$768 million in cash and short‑term investments—provides a solid foundation for ongoing capital expenditures and potential strategic investments. The company also generated $193 million in free cash flow in fiscal 2025, reinforcing its capacity to fund growth initiatives while maintaining financial flexibility.
