Analog Devices Unlocks New Growth Engines In AI, Aerospace, And Robotics
Analog Devices (NASDAQ:ADI) delivered stronger-than-expected quarterly results on Wednesday and issued an upbeat outlook, signaling momentum across industrial and communications markets while highlighting new structural growth drivers in AI, aerospace, and automation. Following the results, JP Morgan analyst Harlan Sur maintained an Overweight rating on ADI and increased the price forecast from $300 to $310. Sur cited a stronger cyclical recovery and expanding secular drivers. He lifted his forward estimates, projecting fiscal 2026 EPS of ~$8.85, and applied a 35x multiple, the high end of peer group valuations, reflecting ADI's premium margins and diversified growth noted that July-quarter revenue rose 9% Q/Q to $2.88 billion, beating consensus of $2.765 billion, with EPS at $2.05 vs. $1.95 expected. Growth was broad-based: industrial climbed 11% Q/Q and 23% Y/Y, communications surged 18% Q/Q and 42% Y/Y on AI networking strength, and consumer rose 17% Q/Q and 20% Y/Y. Automotive stayed flat sequentially but gained 23% Y/Y due to product cycles and China demand pull-forward. For the October quarter, ADI guided revenue to $3.0 billion (up 4% Q/Q), topping consensus of $2.823 billion, with EPS of $2.22 vs. $2.03 expected and operating margin of 43.5% vs. 42.4% consensus. Industrial is expected to lead growth with low-to-mid-teens sequential gains, while automotive should decline in the low-teens Q/Q as earlier pull-forwards unwind. Sur highlighted ADI's structural growth engines, including aerospace & defense now trending above $1 billion annually (~10% of revenue), AI/datacenter opportunities in optical networking and power systems rising toward $550 million–$600 million annually vs. $400 million in fiscal 2024, and industrial automation tailwinds from humanoid robotics design wins.

Coinbase CEO says he 'went rogue' and fired some employees who didn't adopt AI after being told to
Some Coinbase employees recently learned the hard way that their CEO wasn't playing around when it came to using AI at work. CEO Brian Armstrong appeared in a Wednesday episode of the "Cheeky Pint" podcast, where he spoke about his AI mandate for engineers at his crypto exchange. He made it clear that he's serious about employees using AI to code — with real consequences for any resistors. The Coinbase CEO said that he was initially told that it would take a quarter or two to reach 50% of adoption of AI tools. "Why can't every engineer just onboard by the end of the week?" he said. "I went rogue," Armstrong said. He said he posted in the company's Slack channel ("just a light dusting of founder mode," remarked podcast host and Stripe cofounder John Collison), emphasizing the importance of AI and telling engineers that they didn't have to use the tools on a daily basis yet but "at least onboard by the end of the week." "If not, I'm hosting a meeting on Saturday with everyone who hasn't done it and I'd like to meet with you to understand why," the Coinbase CEO said. On Saturday, Armstrong said he logged into the meeting and a small number of employees were on the call. "Some of them had a good reason because they were just getting back from a trip or something," Armstrong said. "Some of them didn't, and they got fired." Armstrong said his "heavy-handed" approach sent a message to employees that AI is something to lean into and learn about. Coinbase has begun hosting a monthly "AI speed run" training hosted by someone using AI at the company. He said the goal is to get to 50% of code written by AI by the end of the quarter. Armstrong's confrontation of AI stragglers at the company highlights the increasing pressure at many companies for employees to adopt AI in their work. Google leaders have told staffers to use more AI tools in their day-to-day work, and engineers are expected to use AI for coding. Employees previously told Business Insider that CEO Sundar Pichai said in an all-hands meeting that they need to use AI for Google to get ahead in the AI arms race. Bosses may also be using AI more than their direct reports. A June Gallup survey found that 33% of leaders who identified as "managers of managers" use AI frequently, meaning a few times a week or more, adopting AI at nearly double the rate of individual contributors. Armstrong clarified that he doesn't expect Coinbase engineers to fully rely on AI to do their jobs, and "you probably can go too far with it." "You don't want people vibe-coding these systems moving money," he added. "You have to code review it and have the appropriate checks in place with humans in the loop." Coinbase didn't immediately respond to a request for comment by Business Insider. AI use isn't just for company engineers, he said, mentioning that Coinbase's design team is "using it heavily." He said the company is also exploring ways to test the limits of AI in decision-making.

From Deal-Making To Crypto Purchases, Cycurion Is Expanding Its Footprint In AI-Driven Cybersecurity
By Meg Flippin Benzinga DETROIT, MICHIGAN - August 21, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - Kevin Kelly, CEO and Ed Burns, SLG Innovation President of Cycurion Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU), were recently guests on Benzinga's All-Access. Cycurion is an IT cybersecurity solutions and AI company that works to protect the private sector, government agencies and healthcare companies' IT infrastructures, digital assets and networks from global cybersecurity threats. Cycurion counts the U.S. Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Navy and the Defense Intelligence Agency as customers, among others. In the private sector, it protects the IT infrastructures, digital assets and networks of multiple Fortune 100 and 500 companies and healthcare companies. Cycurion was an early adopter of AI thanks to the acquisition of ARx in 2019, which the company says gives it an edge over its competitors and is why it has such a diverse set of customers in different sectors and geographies. 'Our platform, which is AI-driven, can pinpoint exactly where in an organization the breach is occurring,' Kelly told Benzinga. 'It then sends messages out to all our other clients using that platform to look out for this type of attack.' Cycurion recently inked a deal with the National Association of County and City Health Officials, which Burns said should result in $19 million in revenue for the company in the next three years, and has also secured more than $69 million in contracts in recent years. 'It's really a diversified portfolio of wins,' said Burns. As for the company's new unit, Cycurion Crypto, which was created to establish a crypto treasury focused on acquiring Ethereum and Bitcoin, Kelly said it's designed to support the company's plans to make more acquisitions, create higher margins and expand both internationally and domestically.
