SILICON LABORATORIES INC. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns SILICON LABORATORIES INC. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 52.9/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1542 of 7,333 stocks, SLAB presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 59/100, SLAB shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -5.8% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 56.9% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -8.1% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
SLAB's value score of 56/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 6.16x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
SILICON LABORATORIES INC.'s investment score of 25/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 15.9% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -5.0% (sector: 0.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
SLAB demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 62/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 15.9% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.72 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
SLAB's stability score of 37/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.72 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 16.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
SILICON LABORATORIES INC.'s short interest score of 27/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.72), elevated leverage (D/E: 16.00x). At $4.4B (mid-cap), SLAB carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
SILICON LABORATORIES INC. is a mid-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1542 of 7,333 overall (79th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -5.8% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -8.9% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While SLAB currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
