TheStreetRatings.com Analysis:

TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Linear Technology as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and notable return on equity. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

  • LLTC has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 7.55, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
  • Net operating cash flow has increased to $175.74 million or 28.86% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, LINEAR TECHNOLOGY CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -80.24%.
  • The gross profit margin for LINEAR TECHNOLOGY CORP is currently very high, coming in at 78.95%. Regardless of LLTC's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, LLTC's net profit margin of 32.77% compares favorably to the industry average.
  • LLTC, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 2.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 7.8%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
  • The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, LINEAR TECHNOLOGY CORP's return on equity exceeds that of the industry average and significantly exceeds that of the S&P 500.
