Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CRUS

11/05/2026: CRUS (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Cirrus Logic is a specialized semiconductor company known for designing high-performance, low-power audio and mixed-signal components for consumer electronics. The firm holds a leading position as a trusted supplier for flagship mobile devices, where its technology enhances sound fidelity and power efficiency. Its primary growth opportunity lies in diversifying beyond the smartphone cycle into automotive and wearable markets. However, the company faces significant execution and concentration risks due to its heavy reliance on a small group of major customers and competitive pressure from larger firms. It may suit growth-oriented investors who are comfortable with cyclical semiconductor volatility but not those seeking dividend income.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CRUS receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CRUS has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, solid earnings growth (+25.0%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 31.9%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+5.3%), very low insider ownership of 0.56%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CRUS's financial health is supported by strong liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 49.8%). Operating efficiency is solid (4 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is CRUS's strongest growth driver at +53.2% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+25.0%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+5.3%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 106.4% and approximately 99.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.56%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

BlackRock Inc 11.29%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 6.82%
LSV Asset Management 4.70%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.57%
State Street Corp 4.32%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CRUS generates approximately $528 of gross profit, $230 of operating income, and $319 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 16.57%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CRUS has a high-quality, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
