On July 30, Silicon Motion Technology surged 30.19% in regular trading, trading at $269.26/share, with turnover of $46.83 million.
The rally was driven by the company's Q2 earnings release, which significantly exceeded market expectations. Adjusted EPS came in at $2.43, beating the analyst consensus of $2.14 by approximately 13.55% and representing a 252% year-over-year increase. Revenue reached $451 million, surpassing the $403.4 million estimate by roughly 11.8% and growing 127% year-over-year. Adjusted gross margin hit 50.2%.
Critically, Q3 revenue guidance of $519 million to $541 million far exceeded the market consensus of $432.1 million, signaling continued momentum from NAND controller demand and AI server storage applications. Management projected full-year revenue growth exceeding 100%.
The stock had previously declined over 15% following Morgan Stanley's warning that the AI-driven semiconductor storage cycle was approaching a peak and amid concerns over competitive landscape shifts from new market entrants. The blowout earnings and robust forward guidance provided a strong catalyst for the sharp rebound.
