Power Integrations, Inc. reported fourth‑quarter 2025 results that included a $103.2 million net revenue, a 13 % sequential decline and a 1.9 % year‑over‑year drop, and a GAAP net income of $13.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share. The company also posted a non‑GAAP earnings per share of $0.23, beating the consensus estimate of $0.19 by $0.04, or 21 %.
Revenue was driven by a 15 % sequential rise in the industrial segment and a 40 % jump in PowiGaN product sales, but was offset by softness in the consumer and communications segments. The industrial mix accounted for 37 % of total revenue, while consumer, communications and computer segments contributed 34 %, 15 % and 14 % respectively. The decline in consumer demand was attributed to inventory overhang and a slowdown in the U.S. housing market, while the communications segment lagged behind the 2024 growth rate.
The EPS beat was largely a result of disciplined cost management and a favorable product mix. Operating expenses were held below forecast, and the company’s focus on high‑margin PowiGaN solutions helped lift gross margin to 53.3 % for the quarter, slightly below guidance but still higher than the 2024 level. The 13 % revenue decline was offset by the 40 % PowiGaN sales increase, allowing the company to maintain profitability and deliver a non‑GAAP EPS that exceeded expectations.
For the full year, Power Integrations posted $443.5 million in revenue, up 6 % from 2024, and GAAP net income of $22.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, down from $0.56 in 2024. Non‑GAAP gross margin for the year rose to 55.1 %, and operating margin increased to 13.9 %. The company’s cash balance stood at $241.9 million, with no debt, and it reaffirmed a commitment to return nearly $150 million to shareholders in 2025 through buybacks and dividends.
CEO Jennifer Lloyd highlighted the company’s strategic focus on industrial markets and GaN technology, noting that industrial bookings were the key driver of growth and that PowiGaN sales grew more than 40 % for the year. She also warned that consumer demand would remain weak in the near term due to low home sales and tariff impacts, but expressed confidence that the company’s investments in automotive and AI data‑center markets would support long‑term growth.
Investors reacted cautiously to the results, with the market focusing on the company’s cautious outlook for Q1 2026 and the ongoing softness in consumer demand. While the EPS beat and strong industrial performance were positive signals, the lack of a revenue upside and the emphasis on restructuring and cost discipline tempered enthusiasm.
The restructuring plan, which will reduce the global workforce by seven percent and incur a $3.5‑$4.0 million severance charge in Q1 2026, is intended to align expenses with revenue and free capital for future growth. The company’s robust cash position and commitment to shareholder returns position it well to navigate short‑term headwinds while pursuing high‑growth opportunities in electrification, AI data centers and automotive markets.
