Portfolio Strength: Key Catalyst
The latest move is in sync with the company’s growing efforts toward expanding its portfolio.
We believe that an expanding portfolio is likely to continue to help the company in bolstering its customer base.
Recently, SMTC’s LoRa devices and LoRaWAN standard were utilized by Sindcon (Singapore) IoT Technology and IoT Kreasi Indonesia in battery-powered smart water and electricity meters.
LoRa devices and LoRaWAN standard were selected by Nordic Propeye and were incorporated into the latter’s new HVAC optimization solution.
We note that expanding clientele on the back of robust portfolio strength is expected to aid Semtech in winning investors’ confidence in the near term.
Coming to the price performance, SMTC has lost 53.4% over a year against the industry’s growth of 9.9%.
However, the company is suffering from the coronavirus pandemic-led disruptions.
Also, macroeconomic headwinds and softness in the consumer markets are overhangs.
