Why Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) Shares Are Falling Today
What Happened? Shares of chip designer Allegro MicroSystems (NASDAQ:ALGM) fell 6.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported quarterly financial results that disappointed investors on profitability. The chip designer announced revenue of $203.4 million, a 22% increase from the previous year, which surpassed analyst forecasts. Allegro also issued an optimistic outlook for the next quarter, expecting revenue to land between $205 million and $215 million. However, investors focused on the company's bottom line. The reported GAAP loss of $0.07 per share fell significantly short of Wall Street's expectations. This earnings miss appeared to overshadow the strong sales growth and positive guidance, prompting a sell-off in the stock. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Allegro MicroSystems? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Allegro MicroSystems's shares are extremely volatile and have had 37 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 8 days ago when the stock dropped 6.4% on the news that industry bellwether Texas Instruments signaled softer demand and issued a cautious outlook. Texas Instruments, a key chipmaker for various industries, sparked concern after it provided a weaker-than-expected forecast for the remainder of the year. Analysts on the company's earnings call noted a "tone shift" from executives regarding the semiconductor recovery cycle compared to previous quarters. The change in messaging from a major industry player created uncertainty about the health of the overall chip market. This cautious sentiment appeared to weigh on related stocks, as investors reassessed the sector's near-term growth prospects. Allegro MicroSystems is up 38.3% since the beginning of the year, but at $31.54 per share, it is still trading 15.9% below its 52-week high of $37.51 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Allegro MicroSystems's shares at the IPO in October 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $1,782. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

Allegro MicroSystems Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
MANCHESTER, N.H., July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. ('Allegro' or the 'Company') (Nasdaq: ALGM), a global leader in power and sensing semiconductor solutions for motion control and energy efficient systems, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended June 27, 2025. 'We delivered strong first quarter results, with sales of over $203 million, up 22% year-over-year, and led by growth in both e-Mobility and Industrial and Other, increasing 31% and 50% year-over-year, respectively. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.09, increasing nearly 3x year-over-year, demonstrating the significant operating leverage in our business model,' said Mike Doogue, President and CEO of Allegro. 'In addition to this strong financial performance, we are encouraged by the positive momentum we are seeing across the business, including continued strong bookings, increasing backlog, a return to growth in automotive and industrial end markets, and strong design win activity in our strategic focus areas.' 'We also continue to focus on cash flow, improving our gross margin and return on invested capital," said Derek D'Antilio, Executive Vice President and CFO of Allegro. "During the first quarter, our free cash flow was $51 million, or 25% of sales. In the first quarter, we made voluntary debt repayments of $35 million in addition to $105 million in voluntary debt repayments in the prior fiscal year.' In thousands, except per share data Three-Month Period Ended June 27, 2025 March 28, 2025 June 28, 2024 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Net Sales* Automotive $ 144,264 $ 139,494 $ 127,394 Industrial and other 59,141 53,330 39,525 Total net sales $ 203,405 $ 192,824 $ 166,919 GAAP Financial Measures Gross margin % 44.9 % 41.4 % 44.8 % Operating margin % (1.3)% (6.8)% (6.4)% Diluted EPS $ (0.07) $ (0.08) $ (0.09) Non-GAAP Financial Measures Gross margin % 48.2 % 45.6 % 48.8 % Operating margin % 11.1 % 9.0 % 6.0 % Diluted EPS $ 0.09 $ 0.06 $ 0.03 * During the preparation of the fourth quarter fiscal year 2025 interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company identified an immaterial misclassification of net sales by application in the table above, whereby customer returns and sales allowances were incorrectly classified by application between Automotive and Industrial and Other in the prior periods presented above. There was no impact to previously reported total net sales or net income in any of the periods noted above. Net sales by application in the prior periods presented in the table above have been corrected and are presented on the same basis as the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. Business Outlook For the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 ending September 26, 2025, the Company expects total net sales to be in the range of $205 million to $215 million. At the midpoint of this range, it implies a net sales growth of 12% year-over-year. The Company also estimates the following results on a non-GAAP basis: Gross Margin is expected to be between 48% and 50%, Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $73 million, Interest expense of approximately $5 million inclusive of an expected additional voluntary debt repayment of $25 million today, and Diluted Earnings per Share is expected to be between $0.10 and $0.14, up 50% year-over-year at the midpoint. Allegro has not provided a reconciliation of its second fiscal quarter outlook for non-GAAP Gross Margin, non-GAAP Operating Expenses, non-GAAP Interest Expense, and non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share because estimates of all of the reconciling items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts. It is difficult to reasonably provide a forward-looking estimate between such forward-looking non-GAAP measures and the comparable forward-looking U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ('GAAP') measures. Certain factors that are materially significant to Allegro's ability to estimate these items are out of its control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Earnings Webcast A webcast will be held on Thursday, July 31, 2025 at 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time. Michael C. Doogue, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Derek P. D'Antilio, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will discuss Allegro's business and financial results. The webcast will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at A recording of the webcast will be posted in the same location shortly after the call concludes and will be available for at least 90 days.

The key measures we consider are non-GAAP Gross Profit, non-GAAP Gross Margin, non-GAAP Operating Expenses, non-GAAP Operating Income, non-GAAP Operating Margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP Profit before Tax, non-GAAP Income Tax Provision, non-GAAP Effective Tax Rate, non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to Allegro MicroSystems, Inc, non-GAAP Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share, non-GAAP Free Cash Flow, and non-GAAP Free Cash Flow as a percentage of net sales (collectively, the 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures'). These Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or that occur relatively infrequently and/or that management considers to be unrelated to our core operations, and in the case of non-GAAP Income Tax Provision, management believes that this non-GAAP measure of income taxes provides it with the ability to evaluate the non-GAAP Income Tax Provision across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of special items and discrete items, which may vary in size and frequency. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are used by both management and our board of directors, together with the comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP financial measures, such as gross profit, gross margin, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Also, in the future we may incur expenses or charges, such as those being adjusted in the calculation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Our presentation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures exclude costs related to acquisition and related integration expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring actions, related-party activities and other non-operational costs. Tax effect of adjustments to GAAP results—Represents the estimated income tax effect of the adjustments to non-GAAP Profit before Tax described below and elimination of discrete tax adjustments.

(3) To calculate the tax effect of adjustments to GAAP results, the Company considers each Non-GAAP adjustment by tax jurisdiction and reverses all discrete items to calculate an annual non-GAAP effective tax rate ('NG ETR'). This NG ETR is then applied to Non-GAAP Profit Before Tax to arrive at the tax effect of adjustments to GAAP results.

Implied Volatility Surging for Allegro MicroSystems Stock Options
Investors in Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. ALGM need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the July, 18, 2025 $17.50 Put had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today. Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy. Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Allegro MicroSystems shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Allegro MicroSystems is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Electronics - Semiconductors industry that ranks in the Top 33% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, one analyst has increased the earnings estimate for the current quarter, while none have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 11 cents per share to 12 cents in that period. Given the way analysts feel about Allegro MicroSystems right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there's a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected. Check out the simple yet high-powered approach that Zacks Executive VP Kevin Matras has used to close recent double and triple-digit winners. In addition to impressive profit potential, these trades can actually reduce your risk. Click to see the trades now >> Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

Will Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) Beat Estimates Again in Its Next Earnings Report?
Have you been searching for a stock that might be well-positioned to maintain its earnings-beat streak in its upcoming report? It is worth considering Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (ALGM), which belongs to the Zacks Electronics - Semiconductors industry. When looking at the last two reports, this company has recorded a strong streak of surpassing earnings estimates. The company has topped estimates by 18.33%, on average, in the last two quarters. For the last reported quarter, Allegro MicroSystems came out with earnings of $0.06 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.05 per share, representing a surprise of 20.00%. For the previous quarter, the company was expected to post earnings of $0.06 per share and it actually produced earnings of $0.07 per share, delivering a surprise of 16.67%. With this earnings history in mind, recent estimates have been moving higher for Allegro MicroSystems. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the company is positive, which is a great sign of an earnings beat, especially when you combine this metric with its nice Zacks Rank. Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Allegro MicroSystems has an Earnings ESP of +5.88% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner. With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss. Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate. Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success.
