  • Silicon Motion (SIMO) Rides AI Storage Boom with Strong Revenue Growth
    March 17, 2026, 7:41 AM EDT. Silicon Motion Technology (SIMO), a $4 billion microcontroller chip developer for NAND flash storage, is shifting from consumer electronics to becoming an AI hardware beneficiary amid a memory shortage. The company reported December quarter revenues of $278.5 million, up from $191.2 million a year earlier, beating expectations. Growth was driven by PCIe 5 SSD demand, rising automotive sales, and expanded market share in Embedded Multi-Media Card and Universal Flash Storage. Despite an earnings per share miss due to higher costs and pricing pressures, analysts raised full-year EPS estimates by 19% to $5.80, projecting 63% growth. Revenue for 2026 is forecast to rise 43% to $1.27 billion. Headquartered in Taiwan and the U.S., SIMO's shares surged in early January on upbeat CES 2026 commentary and the sector-wide AI storage boom.
