Analog Devices stock slips as year-end tech dip cools semis; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:49 ET — Market closed.

  • Analog Devices closed down 0.3% at $274.82. 1
  • U.S. indexes edged lower in holiday-thinned trading as tech weighed, with investors parsing fresh Fed minutes. 2
  • Attention shifts to Wednesday’s session and ADI’s next earnings update, currently pegged for mid-February on calendars. 3

Analog Devices (ADI) shares slipped on Tuesday, ending down 0.3% at $274.82 as chip stocks drifted lower into the final stretch of the year. 1

The move matters because liquidity is thin in the holiday-truncated week, which can amplify relatively small shifts in positioning across semiconductors and other growth-linked stocks. 2

Investors also digested minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s December meeting, keeping interest-rate expectations in focus for rate-sensitive technology shares. 2

ADI traded between $274.59 and $277.10 during the session after opening at $276.70, market data showed. 1

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) was down about 0.1% on the day. Analog chip peer Texas Instruments eased, while NXP Semiconductors slipped and Microchip Technology edged higher.

Wall Street finished slightly lower overall, with technology and financial shares weighing on major indexes in choppy trading, Reuters reported. 2

“It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off (in tech),” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide. 2

The Fed next meets on Jan. 27-28, and investors were expecting policymakers to leave rates unchanged, Reuters reported. 2

For ADI, the latest company catalyst remains its late-November results and outlook, when the company forecast fiscal first-quarter revenue of about $3.1 billion, plus or minus $100 million, and adjusted profit of $2.29 per share, plus or minus 10 cents. 4

CFO Richard Puccio said then that bookings were holding up, with industrial — nearly half of ADI’s revenue — supported by infrastructure spending themes such as factory automation, defense, healthcare and energy, Reuters reported. 4

Before Wednesday’s session, traders will watch whether thin year-end conditions keep price action jumpy, especially in semiconductor names that have been sensitive to shifts in rate expectations.

ADI’s next major checkpoint is its quarterly report. Nasdaq’s earnings calendar currently points to Feb. 18, 2026, though the company has not confirmed a date; investors will be looking for updates on industrial and automotive demand and any change to management’s fiscal first-quarter stance. 3

On the chart, ADI has swung sharply this month, from an intraday low of $262.00 on Dec. 1 to a high of $284.23 on Dec. 12. Those recent extremes are levels technical traders often keep on watch heading into year-end and the new year. 1
