Fiscal 2026 Revenue and Earnings Reach Records

Following the formal meeting, Chief Executive Officer and Director John Forsyth said Cirrus Logic generated record revenue of $2 billion in fiscal 2026, up 5% from the prior year. The company also reported record fiscal-year GAAP earnings per share of $7.85 and non-GAAP earnings per share of $9.26.

Forsyth said the company’s growth strategy remains centered on three priorities:

  • Maintaining leadership in smartphone audio;
  • Increasing high-performance mixed-signal, or HPMS, content in smartphones; and
  • Using its audio and HPMS expertise and intellectual property to expand into additional applications and markets.

In smartphone audio, Forsyth cited robust demand for Cirrus Logic’s latest custom boosted amplifier and 22-nanometer smart codec. He also pointed to strong demand for camera controllers in the company’s HPMS portfolio and ongoing engagement with a customer on next-generation components intended to provide further feature and performance enhancements.

The company invested in intellectual property and capabilities for advanced battery and power applications, validated new technologies in silicon, and began designing a smart power integrated circuit for 3D sensing, Forsyth said.

Outside smartphones, Cirrus Logic recorded strong year-over-year revenue growth in PCs, driven largely by share gains across all segments, according to Forsyth. The company also introduced multiple product families targeting professional audio, automotive, industrial and imaging markets.

Cirrus Logic plans to report first-quarter fiscal 2027 results and its business outlook through a webcast at approximately 5 p.m. Eastern time on Aug. 5, 2026.
