Diodes Incorporated: Can High-Speed Switch & Signal Integrity Solutions Dominate Next-Gen Architectures?

Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) reported its third-quarter 2025 financial results, indicating a positive trajectory in terms of revenue growth and market expansion. The company achieved a revenue increase of 12% year-over-year and 7% sequentially, primarily driven by strong demand in the general computing market, including AI-related server applications, data centers, and agent computing. This demand was particularly robust in Asia, with North America following closely. A notable positive is the decrease in channel inventory, which improved by over 25% from peak levels, suggesting a more balanced supply-demand dynamic. Despite these positives, gross margin faced pressure, decreasing to 30.7% from 33.7% in the previous year due to an unfavorable product mix. However, Diodes remains optimistic about future margin expansion, driven by improving product mix, accelerated recovery in higher-margin automotive and industrial markets, new product introductions, and increased manufacturing loadings. Operating expenses also rose to $108.9 million, up from $96.
