SiTime (NASDAQ:SITM) Issues Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.39 EPS

SiTime (NASDAQ:SITM) released its quarterly earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported $4.01 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $3.62 by $0.39, FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $298.67 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $292.65 million. SiTime had a net margin of 3.01% and a return on equity of 4.99%.

Here are the key takeaways from SiTime’s conference call:

• Record growth and strong outlook: Q3 revenue was $298.7 million, up 257% year over year, with 70.7% gross margin, 43% operating margin and non-GAAP EPS of $4.01. SiTime forecast Q4 revenue of $331 million–$341 million and EPS of about $4.76 at the midpoint.
• AI data-center demand is expanding opportunities: Core communications, enterprise and data-center revenue grew 202%, while optical architectures—including XPO, coherent optics, NPO and CPO—are creating opportunities for higher timing content and higher-value products. Management said the total design-win funnel reached $10 billion, and the semiconductor-company funnel grew eightfold to more than $4 billion, though much of the latter is expected to ramp in 2028–2029.
• Renesas timing acquisition is showing early cross-selling benefits: The acquired TPD business generated $86.3 million in Q3 revenue, up 67% year over year, and management reported that combined offerings are already creating opportunities in both companies’ customer bases. SiTime said its 2027 revenue forecast at its largest accounts has increased two to five times, largely reflecting design-win potential.
• Supply constraints and investment needs remain: Wafer supply constraints, particularly for TPD, are expected to persist through 2027, although management expects the most severe issues to ease around early 2027. The company also expects operating expenses to rise sequentially through 2027 as it builds out infrastructure and supports growth.
