Rhea AI SMTC FY2026

Cash conversion is recovering, but operating-cost absorption and financing effects keep reported earnings below the business’s cash performance.

From FY2025 to FY2026, free-cash-flow margin rose from 5.5% to 16.3%, indicating that the larger sales base required relatively little incremental reinvestment. Meanwhile, net loss narrowed to -$40M as interest expense fell to $41M, yet below-operating costs still prevent cash generation from translating fully into net income.

Margin recovery is incomplete: gross margin reached 51.6%, but operating margin was only 3.1%, showing that improved economics after production are being absorbed by operating expenses. The business converted gross profit into operating profit much less efficiently than in FY2022, when operating margin was 19.6%.

The balance sheet is less stretched than its FY2024 snapshot: debt-to-equity was 0.9x and the current ratio was 2.4x in FY2026, versus negative equity then, making the financing structure more conventional while leverage remains meaningful. Shares outstanding rose from 86.5M in FY2025 to 93.0M in FY2026, so a smaller net loss did not translate into an equally clean per-share recovery.

Profitability
12

Semtech Corp has an operating margin of 3.1%, meaning the company retains $3 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 12/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from 5.5% the prior year.

Growth
65

Semtech Corp's revenue surged 15.5% year-over-year to $1.0B, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 65/100.

Leverage
12

Semtech Corp has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 0.89), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 12/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity
68

With a current ratio of 2.37, Semtech Corp holds $2.37 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 68/100.

Cash Flow
54

Semtech Corp has a free cash flow margin of 16.3%, earning a moderate score of 54/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns
14

Semtech Corp posts a -7.3% return on equity (ROE), meaning it loses $7 for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This results in a returns score of 14/100. This is up from -29.8% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe
11.59

Semtech Corp scores 11.59, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($15.6B) relative to total liabilities ($860.6M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Strong
7/9

Semtech Corp passes 7 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed
N/A

Semtech Corp reported a net loss of $40.4M while generating $181.2M in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk
0.80x

Semtech Corp earns $0.80 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($32.6M vs $40.6M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
