MaxLinear (MXL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
MaxLinear Inc. has demonstrated significant growth potential, as evidenced by a notable increase in bookings and backlog, which reached the highest level recorded in 2024. The company's Keystone PAM4 DSP solution has notably surpassed sales expectations, achieving nearly $40 million in revenue and shipping over one million units, indicating strong demand in high-speed optical data center connectivity. Furthermore, projections suggest that optical revenue could nearly double year-over-year in 2025, bolstered by a ramp-up in production from a Tier 1 North American Enterprise OEM customer and an overall strengthening of data center demand dynamics.
Bears say
MaxLinear Inc. is experiencing a decline in its cash balance, with a decrease of approximately $30 million in the quarter, resulting in a total cash position of around $119 million. While operating expenses are projected to decrease by 3.5% in the upcoming quarter due to cost-reduction measures, there remain concerns regarding the potential slowdown in adoption of the company's PAM4 solution, which could adversely affect revenue and earnings estimates. Additionally, despite not facing immediate substantial challenges, the combination of its business operations may lead to lower expectations for combined revenue in the near future.
