• Management guided for continued acceleration in the third quarter, with revenue expected at approximately $510 million, up 30% year over year and 14% sequentially at the midpoint, alongside 35% GAAP gross margin and $1.05 non-GAAP EPS.
• Automotive revenue reached a record 21% of product revenue, rising more than 37% year over year, while computing revenue increased 33% as AI servers, data centers, networking, and storage drove demand. Diodes estimates its content opportunity across the broader AI infrastructure ecosystem at approximately $267 per platform.
• The proposed acquisition of Elevate Semiconductor is expected to be immediately accretive, add roughly $15 million of revenue in its first 12 months, and bring higher-than-corporate-average gross margins. Management forecasts Elevate revenue growth of more than 20% annually over the next four years.
• Demand is strong enough to create pockets of supply constraints, prompting Diodes to expand internal and outsourced wafer, assembly, and testing capacity. However, channel inventory declined in both dollars and weeks and remains below the company’s normal range, with management reporting no current evidence of double ordering.
