Analog Devices (US0326541051) stock is trading with a fresh earnings backdrop after the company reported $3.45 in fiscal third-quarter EPS on August 19, 2026, against consensus of $3.34. Revenue reached $4.02 billion in the quarter, while the market valued the shares at $373.09 and $180.79 billion as of August 21, 2026.
Results set the tone
The quarter gave investors a clean comparison point: revenue rose 39.2 percent from $2.05 billion in the same period last year, and net margin held at 29.79 percent. Guidance for Q4 fiscal 2026 was set at $3.71 billion to $4.01 billion in EPS, giving the next quarter's range a visible anchor.
The same update also showed return on equity of 16.39 percent, while the stock's price-to-earnings ratio stood at 44.26 and its PEG ratio at 0.76. That mix explains why the shares can trade on both earnings quality and valuation at the same time.
Consensus still points higher
Market data compiled on August 24, 2026, showed the stock opening at $373.09, with a 50-day moving average of $388.25 and a 200-day moving average of $371.50. The average analyst target was $447.13, which implies 19.85 percent upside from that price.
That spread matters because the shares are sitting below the 50-day average while staying just above the 200-day line. For chart traders, that makes the current level more than a simple post-earnings snapshot.
