▲(5.47% Upside)
Action:Downgraded
Date:07/29/26
The score is driven primarily by strong cash generation and a conservatively levered balance sheet, reinforced by a notably positive earnings outlook (record bookings and strong Q3 guidance). Offsetting these strengths are weakened recent profitability in reported financials and a bearish intermediate-term technical setup with the stock trading below key moving averages; valuation is also harder to assess due to the negative P/E.
Positive Factors
Strong free cash flow generation
Sustained high operating and free cash flow provides durable internal funding for capex, R&D, dividends and acquisitions. Robust FCF growth reduces reliance on external financing, supports capital returns and gives management flexibility to invest through cycles.
Negative Factors
Compressed profitability and negative net margin
Despite healthy revenue and gross margins, materially compressed EBIT and negative net margins erode capital efficiency and return on equity. If margins don't normalize, profitability weakness could constrain reinvestment, dividend growth and value creation over the medium term.

Littelfuse Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jul 29, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Nov 03, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed strong financial and operational momentum: double-digit organic revenue growth, substantial margin and EPS expansion, robust cash flow, record bookings, and meaningful design-win traction across high-growth end markets (notably data center and industrial). Near-term headwinds and execution risks include pockets of end-market weakness (consumer electronics and passenger vehicles), a planned semiconductor site closure with multi-year rationalization implications, reliance on Basler for a portion of industrial growth, and the fact that high-voltage data center revenue is still in early stages. On balance, positive growth drivers and margin expansion notably outweigh the manageable lowlights.Positive Updates
Revenue Growth
Net sales of $739 million, up 20% year-over-year and 14% organically; Basler acquisition contributed ~6% to sales growth and foreign exchange was a 1% tailwind.
Negative Updates
Consumer Electronics Weakness
Consumer electronics sales declined in the quarter; company noted this end market represents less than 10% of total sales but did contribute to localized weakness.

Company Guidance
Littelfuse guided third-quarter net sales of $780–$800 million (midpoint +26% year‑over‑year), driven by 21% organic growth, ~6% contribution from the Basler acquisition and a ~1% FX headwind; adjusted diluted EPS of $4.85–$5.05 (midpoint +68% year‑over‑year) and an adjusted effective tax rate of 23–24%. Management cited a book‑to‑bill well north of 1.0, record bookings, design wins up double digits and strong backlog to support the outlook, reiterated 2030 targets of $4.5 billion revenue and $1.1 billion adjusted EBITDA, and raised 2026 expectations for Basler to ~$135–$140 million of revenue with a $0.25–$0.30 EPS contribution.Littelfuse Financial Statement Overview
