What changed
The current quarter extended the prior quarter’s growth narrative: revenue accelerated to a record $1.316 billion, data-center exposure increased in importance, and Thailand and Silicon Valley capacity additions advanced. Guidance remained confident, while supply constraints, tax uncertainty and capacity execution became more prominent risks.
Guidance delta
Management maintained a confident outlook, with FY27 Q1 revenue guidance of $1.375-$1.425 billion and EPS guidance of $4.10-$4.25.
Key takeaways
- Q4 revenue reached $1.316 billion, up 45% year over year and above guidance.
- Data-center revenue represented 51% of sales and grew 68% year over year.
- Capacity expansion in Thailand and Silicon Valley is intended to support a $12.5-$14 billion revenue run-rate.
- Management is advancing transceiver, DCI, HPC, NPO and CPO programs, including work with Raytec.
- The main watchpoints are component availability, execution on new capacity, and Thailand’s global minimum-tax regime.
Management priorities
- Complete Building 10 and bring the Navanakorn and Great America Place campuses online.
- Ramp transceiver, DCI and HPC programs through FY27.
- Expand NPO/CPO packaging and advanced photonics capabilities with Raytec.
- Scale manufacturing capacity to support the stated long-term run-rate.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
