Allegro MicroSystems ALGM
Allegro MicroSystems scores weak on business quality (4.3 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Allegro MicroSystems does
Allegro MicroSystems designs and manufactures high-performance power and sensing semiconductor solutions for motion control and magnetic fields. Automotive and industrial original equipment manufacturers pay for these chips to enable efficient power conversion and green energy systems.
- What it does best
Allegro excels at magnetic sensing, delivering a gross margin of 47.1% that outperforms peers like Skyworks at 40.7%. This edge is protected by proprietary packaging and deep customer integration that make replacements difficult.
- The main risk
Thin interest coverage of 2.3x leaves the company vulnerable to any demand shock in its core automotive and industrial end markets, risking debt service strain if cash generation wobbles.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margin stands at 5.0% and net margin at 1.5%, producing a weak return on equity of 1.5%. Profitability remains pressured by fixed costs despite recent revenue gains.
The company holds a niche moat in magnetic sensors locking in automotive enterprises, reflected in its sector-matching revenue growth rank in the top quartile at the 75th percentile.
Revenue grew 22.8% to $946.0M over the latest period, rebounding sharply after a contraction in 2025 and outpacing peers like Skyworks at -2.2%.
Total debt of $287.0M outweighs $169.0M in cash, resulting in $118.0M of net debt. Free cash flow sits at $87.0M, showing improving cash generation but a strained balance sheet getting softer on coverage.
