Shares of Analog Devices surged 9.7% on Feb. 19 after the company reported better-than-expected Q1 2025 results, with revenue of $2.4 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.63. Optimism was further fueled by a robust 19% growth in the consumer segment and a positive Q2 forecast, with projected revenue of $2.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.68. Additionally, shareholder-focused moves like an 8% dividend increase and a $10 billion share repurchase authorization reinforced confidence.

For the current fiscal year, ending in October 2025, analysts expect ADI's adjusted EPS to grow 11.4% year-over-year to $7.11. The company's earnings surprise history is promising. It beat the consensus estimates in the last four quarters.

Among the 31 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on 20 “Strong Buy” ratings, one “Moderate Buy,” nine “Holds,” and one “Strong Sell.”
