In other recent news, Power Integrations reported its third-quarter 2025 earnings, aligning with expectations for earnings per share (EPS) at $0.36. However, the company fell slightly short on revenue, posting $118.92 million compared to the anticipated $119.57 million. Despite this revenue miss, Benchmark has maintained its Buy rating on Power Integrations, although it has lowered the price target from $55.00 to $50.00. The research firm pointed to disappointing guidance as a reason for the adjustment but remains optimistic about the company's long-term prospects. Benchmark noted that Power Integrations' full-year revenue is still expected to rise by 6% year-over-year. These developments provide investors with critical insights into the company's current performance and future expectations.
