Insights
Modest Q1 growth with margin pressure, strong industrial mix, and disciplined cash generation.
Power Integrations posted Q1 2026 revenue of $108.3 million, up 5% sequentially and 3% year-over-year. Industrial revenue rose 23% year-over-year to 41 percent of sales, offsetting softer communications and computer demand, while consumer remained the largest segment at 38 percent.
Profitability was mixed. GAAP net income fell to $3.3 million with a GAAP operating margin of 1.3%, pressured by $6.2 million of restructuring and related charges. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin improved sequentially to 11.7%, though still below 14.7% a year earlier.
Cash generation stayed healthy, with operating cash flow of $20.0 million and free cash flow of $18.0 million while funding a quarterly dividend of $0.215 per share. Q2 2026 guidance calls for GAAP gross margin of 53.5%–54.5% and non-GAAP operating margin of 13.5%–15.5%, suggesting some margin recovery as restructuring effects normalize.
