Cirrus Logic (CRUS) Beats On Q1 And Locks In Supply As Undervalued View Faces Test
Cirrus Logic (CRUS) is back in focus after reporting fiscal 2027 first quarter earnings and revenue that exceeded expectations, supported by demand for custom smartphone components and a long-term wafer supply agreement through 2028.
The strong first quarter has come after a sharp reset in sentiment, with Cirrus Logic’s share price down 12.53% over the past 30 days and 31.14% over the past 90 days, even though the 3 year total shareholder return of 54.03% still reflects solid longer term gains.

After that reset and with Cirrus Logic trading well below both its intrinsic value estimate and average analyst target, the market is clearly cautious. Do recent results justify that discount, or is it starting to look overdone?
Most Popular Narrative: 31.4% Undervalued
The most followed narrative currently places Cirrus Logic’s fair value at $165, compared with the last close at $113.21, which implies a sizeable valuation gap that rests on specific earnings, margin and discount rate assumptions.
Cirrus Logic is expanding beyond its core smartphone audio business by increasing the value and breadth of its high-performance mixed signal solutions, particularly in areas like camera controllers, battery/power management, and sensing. This strategic diversification positions the company to capture new revenue streams and reduce customer concentration risk, which can drive higher revenue growth and bolster earnings stability over time.
Want to see what underpins that $165 figure for Cirrus Logic? The narrative is based on measured revenue growth, slimmer margins and a richer future earnings multiple. This combination is used to derive the fair value estimate.
Result: Fair Value of $165 (UNDERVALUED)
