While it may just be a slowdown within a bullish
up-cycle, many segments of the semiconductor industry have gotten more
challenging recently. Investors have gotten nervous about volume growth
in smartphones, particularly on the high end, and data center and
communications spending has been slower to pick up than expected. Those
are all key markets for Integrated Device Technology (or "IDT") (IDTI), but the company is leveraging new product cycles to continue to generate good growth.
Although
valuations are generally pretty high around the semiconductor space,
there does still seem to be some opportunity left for IDT to go higher,
particularly if the strength in computing continues, and the company
sees more growth in communications and consumer markets. I would also
note that although IDT is probably close to the limits of what it can
achieve for near-term margin leverage, the accretion potential to an
acquirer makes this a serious candidate to be bought out.
