Today's AI verdict on what's driving $LSCC, plus how loud the X conversation is and which way it's leaning.

AI analysis

TickerTalks’ read on the fundamentals and what’s driving the move.

Driven by hypeAcceleratingAI verdict · as of 2026-08-28

The move is getting stronger, with heavier trading behind it.

Lattice is +83% YTD on the FPGA-AI story — Q2 crushed (revenue +62% YoY, EPS +120% YoY), AMI acquisition closed for $1B cash + 5.2M shares, officer Elashmawi sold $2.1M.

Lattice Semiconductor is a $17.8B-cap FPGA specialist (Certus-NX, ECP, Mach, iCE40, CrossLink families + video ASSPs) at $120.47 — up 83% YTD, 83% over twelve months, sitting at 62% of the 52-week range.

  • Fundamentals: TTM P/E ~933x (small TTM EPS post-acquisition costs), P/S 32.4x, EV/EBITDA ~240x, ROIC 2.5%, gross margin 67%, op margin 5.6%, FCF yield 0.8%, debt/equity 0.05x pre-AMI (post-AMI leverage steps up).
  • Revenue growth: Q1 (Apr 2026) $170.9M (+42% YoY), Q4 $145.8M (+24%), Q3 $133.3M (+4.9%), Q2 $124.0M (-0.1%). Q2 2026 print (Aug 4) revenue $201.1M and EPS $0.53 vs $0.44 est (+19.1%).
  • EPS surprises: last four are +19.1% / +10.7% / 0% / 0% — recent beats are accelerating. Consensus FY26 EPS $1.05 → FY27 $1.81 → FY28 $2.37 → FY29 $3.37.
  • Filings tape: Aug 4 Q2 earnings 8-K. July 27 8-K — LSCC completed acquisition of AMI TopCo for ~$1B cash + ~5.2M shares/RSUs, funded from cash + credit facility. June 30 8-K — Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo — $200M revolver + $950M delayed-draw term loan.
  • Insider tape: heavy programmatic — CTO Esam Elashmawi paired F-InKind + S-Sale on Aug 17 (~$2.12M gross sale at $134.77, plus paired F-InKind grants). Officers Feanny, Desale, Shaikh, Flores multiple F-InKind cluster. Total S-Sale distribution ~$2.4M vs $17.8B cap.
  • Structural: 136M float (mid), volume 0.53x normal, position 62% of range, +13% vs 200d MA, beta 1.80.
  • X sentiment (Aug 11) is uniformly bullish: Q2 revenue $201.1M vs $185M est (+62% YoY), adj EPS $0.53 vs $0.44 est (+120% YoY), AMI acquisition pulling $1B annual run-rate target forward a full quarter to Q3, Q3 guide $245-265M revenue crushes $197M consensus, AMI adds 40% EBITDA margins and >75% gross margins.

AMI closes + Q2 beats + Q3 guide raises + FPGA-AI narrative; the CFO/officer distribution is modest against cap.

Agrees with X sentimentThe uniformly bullish X frame (Q2 revenue +62% YoY, EPS +120% YoY, AMI pulling $1B run-rate forward, Q3 guide $245-265M vs $197M consensus, AMI EBITDA 40% + GM 75%) is directionally aligned with the disclosed acquisition close and Q2 print. The modest $2.4M officer distribution is a fair honest input the crowd is not loudly pricing but is not thesis-breaking.

What to watch: Q3 2026 earnings on Nov 2 (consensus $0.55 EPS) — a Q3 print at the top of the raised $245-265M guide plus continued AMI integration commentary extends the accelerating leg. A share-count-dilution-related surprise, an AMI integration cost-overrun, a delayed-draw term-loan drawdown, or continued CFO/officer selling is what breaks it.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
933.0How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
2.5%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
5.6%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
0.8%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
32.4Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
2.8%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
66.9%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.1Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.

AI summary

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (LSCC) completed the acquisition of AMI TopCo, Inc. (AMI) for approximately $1 billion in cash plus ~5.2 million Lattice shares/RSUs (Item 2.01, filed 2026-07-27). The acquisition was funded from cash on hand and credit facility borrowings; AMI's existing debt was refinanced at closing. Investors should assess revenue/earnings accretion, share count dilution from the ~5.2M equity component, and integration execution risk.
