As the craze of earnings season draws to a close, here’s a look back at some of the most exciting (and some less so) results from Q4. Today, we are looking at analog semiconductors stocks, starting with Impinj (NASDAQ: PI).

Demand for analog chips is generally linked to the overall level of economic growth, as analog chips serve as the building blocks of most electronic goods and equipment. Unlike digital chip designers, analog chip makers tend to produce the majority of their own chips, as analog chip production does not require expensive leading edge nodes. Less dependent on major secular growth drivers, analog product cycles are much longer, often 5-7 years.

The 14 analog semiconductors stocks we track reported a satisfactory Q4. As a group, revenues beat analysts’ consensus estimates by 0.8% while next quarter’s revenue guidance was 8,308% above.

In light of this news, share prices of the companies have held steady as they are up 1.9% on average since the latest earnings results.
