The headline story was the industrial segment, which surged 23% year-over-year to represent 41% of the revenue mix, up from 34% a year ago, with renewable energy, battery storage, and home automation all contributing to the gain. That strength helped offset GAAP earnings pressure from $6.57 million in restructuring charges tied to workforce reductions, which compressed GAAP operating income to just $1.45 million and pushed GAAP EPS to $0.06 from $0.15 a year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin also narrowed to 53.5% from 55.9%, a sign that margin recovery remains a work in progress. Management guided Q2 revenue to $115 million to $120 million, with non-GAAP operating margin expected to improve meaningfully to 13.5% to 15.5% as restructuring charges roll off, even as tariff uncertainty and geopolitical risk cloud the demand outlook.

Key Takeaways

  • Industrial revenue grew 23% year-over-year, driven by renewable energy, battery storage, home automation, and automotive applications
  • Industrial mix rose to 41% of revenue from 34% a year ago
  • Revenue up 5% sequentially and 3% year-over-year

POWI Forward Guidance & Outlook

For Q2 2026, Power Integrations expects revenue of $115 million to $120 million. GAAP gross margin is forecast at 53.5% to 54.5%, with non-GAAP gross margin of 54% to 55%.
