Cirrus Logic (CRUS) is currently trading at $108.34, significantly below its 50-day SMA of $116.66 and its 200-day SMA of $139.46. The stock's 14-day RSI is at 34.55, indicating bearish momentum. Moderate insider selling, with total sales of $18.9 million against no reported purchases, further contributes to a cautious outlook. Despite these headwinds, the company has demonstrated strong profitability with a net profit margin of 21.00% and a return on equity of 20.90%. However, projected revenue growth for the next year is a modest 1.00%, down from a strong 12.9% reported growth in the last reported period.

AI Analyst Consensus ScoreSell
Cirrus Logic's stock is exhibiting bearish technical signals, trading below both its 50-day SMA ($116.66) and 200-day SMA ($139.46). The 14-day RSI is at 34.55, firmly in bearish territory, suggesting downward momentum. The MACD is also negative at -2.73, reinforcing the bearish trend. Key support levels are not clearly defined by the current data, but the price action indicates potential for further declines towards the lower end of its trading range. Volume on the latest trading day was 855,700, slightly above the average of 795,280, but not indicative of a strong reversal. The stock's current price is also below its 20-day EMA of $114.58, indicating short-term weakness. The stochastic oscillator is at 14.92, suggesting oversold conditions in the short term, but this is overshadowed by the broader bearish trend indicated by the RSI and moving averages. Investors should monitor for any signs of a bounce off current levels, but the prevailing technicals suggest caution.
ProTips
The stock's current trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($116.66 and $139.46), coupled with a bearish RSI, suggests a cautious approach is warranted for new positions.

Market Outlook
an insider's outlook is cautious, with a base case scenario suggesting potential for further price declines given current technical indicators and moderate insider selling. While the company maintains strong profitability and a healthy balance sheet, the projected slowdown in revenue growth for the current and next year presents a headwind. The median analyst target price of $165.00 implies a significant upside of 52.3%, but this is not supported by current technicals or insider activity. Upside catalysts could emerge if the company demonstrates a return to stronger revenue growth or if insider sentiment shifts positively. Conversely, continued weakness in the semiconductor sector, increased competition, or failure to meet forward-looking revenue estimates could lead to further downside. The stock's current position below key moving averages suggests that a significant catalyst would be required to reverse the bearish trend.

As of October 15, 2026, CRUS trades at $108.34, with a market value of $5.43B and a P/E ratio of 13.18.
Cirrus Logic's valuation appears stretched relative to its current growth prospects, trading at a P/E ratio of 13.18, which is below the sector median of 34. However, its price-to-sales ratio of 2.65 is also below the sector median of 7.5. The company boasts strong profitability with a net profit margin of 21.00% and a return on equity of 20.90%, both significantly outperforming sector averages. The debt-to-equity ratio is exceptionally low at 0.06, indicating a very healthy balance sheet. Despite strong margins and a solid balance sheet, forward-looking growth estimates are subdued. Wall Street expects revenue to grow by only 1.00% in the current year and 5.60% in the next year, a notable deceleration from the 12.9% revenue growth reported previously. This slower growth trajectory, combined with moderate insider selling and bearish technicals, raises concerns about the stock's near-term performance, even with its attractive profitability metrics.
Earnings & Growth Analysis
Cirrus Logic's recent earnings reports show mixed performance. The company beat EPS estimates in the latest reported quarter (August 5, 2026) with actual EPS of $1.84 versus an estimate of $1.81, a 1.66% surprise, though the stock reacted negatively with a -4.57% price change. The prior quarter (May 6, 2026) saw a stronger EPS beat of 10.8% ($1.95 actual vs $1.76 estimate), accompanied by a positive stock reaction of 2.38%. However, the company has missed EPS estimates in two of the last three reported quarters, indicating some inconsistency in meeting analyst expectations.
Key Risks
Cirrus Logic faces several key risks. The primary concern is the decelerating revenue growth, with current year estimates at only 1.00% compared to prior periods. Moderate insider selling, totaling $18.9 million, suggests a lack of strong conviction from management. Also, the stock is trading significantly below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($116.66 and $139.46), with a bearish RSI, indicating potential for further price declines and a challenging technical outlook.
