Up another 55% or so from my last update and 250% from my first Seeking Alpha article on the company, Lattice Semiconductor (LSCC)
is a great go-to example of my investment philosophy that successful
turnarounds can produce returns significantly ahead of what might seem
fair or reasonable at the start of the process. Over the last two years,
Lattice has not only turned over management and embraced a
significantly different operating philosophy, it has delivered
meaningful improvements in margins - one of the key drivers for
semiconductor valuation.
I don't really think of
Lattice as a turnaround anymore, as I believe the company is firmly in
the midst of a transition to a growth story. In addition to
opportunities in the data center and 5G base stations and auto driver
assistance, I'm eager to see what the company will accomplish with its
new FD-SOI platform and its AI-focused SensAI software stack.
As
a growth story, I'm not quite as worried about valuation, but it is
nevertheless hard to call Lattice "cheap". The shares already anticipate
significant margin improvement and future revenue growth, and it's
tough to make the numbers work.
