Upturn Advisory & Investor View for LSCC

10/09/2026: LSCC (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation is a mid-cap, high-margin semiconductor company that designs low-power programmable logic devices used in industrial, automotive, and edge AI applications. Its main strength lies in a focused product strategy that targets high-efficiency computing, differentiating it from larger rivals. The company's growth story is centered on the increasing demand for intelligent, power-efficient hardware at the network edge. Investors face risks regarding cyclical demand in industrial markets, intense competition from dominant industry players, and supply chain dependencies. Lattice generally suits growth-oriented investors looking for exposure to specialized semiconductor components, though it does not pay a dividend, and potential investors should monitor product cycle success and sector-wide inventory trends.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
LSCC receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
LSCC has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 25.3%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-95.0%), moderate revenue growth (+2.7%), soft profitability (net margin 0.6%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
LSCC's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 27.9%). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is LSCC's strongest growth driver at +10.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-95.0%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 103.3% and approximately 99.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.60%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

BlackRock Inc 12.15%
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. 9.57%
T. Rowe Price Investment Management,Inc. 5.49%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.08%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.36%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
LSCC generates approximately $682 of gross profit, $29 of operating income, and $253 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Solid margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains weak.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 76.95%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
LSCC has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while soft valuation.
