ADI · Nasdaq
Analog Devices sells semiconductor products, with its portfolio increasingly discussed in connection with industrial automation, robotics, edge artificial intelligence, AI data centers, and broader chip demand. It makes money by selling these components to organizations deploying computing, sensing, connectivity, and control technologies, although the supplied evidence does not provide a segment revenue split, customer breakdown, or geographic mix. ADI reports FY2026 revenue of $11.0 billion and net income of $2.3 billion, up from $9.4 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, in FY2025. The company is also expanding through acquisitions, including its announced purchase of Alif Semiconductor.
ADI rose $1.06, or 0.29%, from $362.14 to $363.20 over the period. Trading was uneven: the stock fell 2.1% to $354.52 on September 1, then recovered gradually through September 3 before gaining 1.6% on September 4 and adding $0.95 on September 8. The supplied evidence identifies no company-specific announcement, earnings release, guidance change, or attributable analyst action during the week to explain the move. Instead, the shares appear to have moved modestly higher after an early pullback, with broader semiconductor and artificial-intelligence sentiment the most relevant context available. Reports discussing ADI’s Alif Semiconductor acquisition, AI demand, and insider sales do not include dates tying them directly to this week.
Analog Devices fell 4.81%, from $374.52 to $356.50, with the decline concentrated in the week’s first two trading sessions. The stock dropped $12.74 on Friday, August 28, then was essentially flat on Monday at $362.14 before losing another $7.62 on Tuesday. The supplied evidence does not identify a company-specific announcement driving those moves. Instead, the timing coincided with broad-market pressure as global bond yields surged; contemporaneous market reports cited declines of 0.71% in the S&P 500 and 1.29% in the Nasdaq 100. ADI stabilized modestly Wednesday and Thursday, gaining $1.19 and $0.79, respectively, as broader markets recovered when crude oil and bond yields stabilized.
Analog Devices fell $11.31, or 3.03%, over the week, from $373.09 to $361.78. The stock initially moved sideways, slipping to $371.17 on Monday before recovering to $373.66 Tuesday, easing to $371.80 Wednesday and reaching $374.52 Thursday. It then gave back the week’s gains in a sharp $12.74 Friday decline. No company-specific announcement in the supplied evidence explains that reversal; the most relevant catalyst was a broader risk-off session after Fed Chair Warsh took a hawkish stance, with the Nasdaq 100 falling 0.70% and the S&P 500 declining 0.25%. The upcoming $1.10 quarterly dividend was reported but does not explain Friday’s selling.
ADI rose $22.05, or 6.09%, from $361.88 to $383.93 over the reported week. The main move came Tuesday, when the stock jumped to $380.29 on volume of 5.08 million shares, after which it slipped modestly through Thursday to $377.31. It rallied again Friday to $389.93, then gave back $6.00, or most of Friday’s gain, on Monday. The supplied evidence identifies no earnings release, contract, executive announcement or other company-specific news that explains the move. DA Davidson’s reiterated Buy rating and $498 target provided a positive analyst signal, but no date or causal link to the trading is supplied. Broader market context is also unavailable, so the week appears to have reflected sentiment and trading momentum rather than a documented fundamental catalyst.
ADI gained $14.46, or 3.95%, rising from $365.83 on July 28 to $380.29 on August 4. Trading was volatile: the stock fell $12.46 on July 29 before recovering $13.30 the next session, then slipped from $367.41 on July 31 to $361.88 on August 3. Tuesday’s $18.41 rebound coincided with a broad risk-on move, as the S&P 500 rose 1.79% and the Nasdaq 100 gained 3.32%; Barchart cited strong technology earnings and hopes of reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The supplied evidence contains no ADI-specific earnings release, guidance change, contract, or analyst action, indicating that market sentiment rather than company news drove the weekly advance.
