EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Analog Devices (ADI) has emerged as the largest in manufacturer of analog chips for electronic equipment. On March 10, 2017, the company completed acquisition of Linear Technology for $15.8 billion. Today, it serves more than 100,000 clients, including customers in consumer, automobile, communications sector.

After a detailed study of the end market demand drivers, the 5 Year CAGR for revenue was estimated to be 15% during the forecast horizon (2017-2021). This estimated top line revenue growth coupled with ADI’s efforts to increase the gross and operating margins are the major drivers of the DCF model used to compute the intrinsic value of ADI’s stock. The model suggests a 15.4% upside on the current stock price, which is the driver for the “Buy” recommendation for ADI.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Analog Devices was incorporated in the year 1965 and since has been growing semiconductor company. It is a market leader in manufacturing and designing analog chips worldwide. These chips leverage high-performance analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing technology, including integrated circuits (ICs), algorithms, software, and subsystems that convert real-world signals, such as sound, temperature, and pressure, into digital signals that can be processed. The company serves customers worldwide, in key strategic markets such as the industrial, automotive, consumer and communications industries.

ADI recently acquired, for approximately $15.8 billion, Linear Technology Corporation, which manufactures high performance linear integrated circuits. Linear technologies’ products highly complement solutions provided by ADI as linear Technologies specializes in high performance analog circuits that consist higher precision, lower noise margins, low power operations, and higher linearity of operations.

Revenue Decomposition

ADI, pre-merger, had 4 operating segments: Industrial, Automotive Consumer and Communications. Linear technologies had 6 operating segments: Industrial, Automotive, Consumer, Communications, Computer, and Military. These 6 segments were merged with the 4 operating segments of ADI in the current year. The charts below display the revenue segments of ADI before the merger (FE 2016) and predicted after the merger will be completed in 2017.

The graph above states that we would expect to see a growth in percentage share of industrials because the revenue earned by Linear Technology in the defense segment will be added to the industrial segment post-merger.

Major Segments

Industrial

The Industrial segment is one of the biggest operating segment for ADI and consists of following sub-sector: Industrial and Instrumentation, Defense/Aerospace, Energy Management and Healthcare. This segment is driving majority of growth and solid margins for ADI. Industrial segment has reported 49% Y-o-Y growth for nine months ended 2017 and as mentioned in the earnings call, the company sees numerous opportunities to further drive revenue growth due to increase in demand for technology to make industrial applications more intelligent, more connected and more efficient (6).

Due to the realignment of merged segment, we would see an extraordinary growth in 2017. 2018 we assume the revenue to grow at a CAGR of 15%. 2019 onwards we assume the growth to stabilize at 7% as the demand for this segment is highly dependent on the growth of Internet of Things market (IoT) market.

Consumer

Consumer segment is the one that serves consumer electronics market. The segment has reported 87% Y-o-Y growth for nine months ended 2017 by addressing the market demand for analog solutions to support high quality user interfaces, music, movies and photographs. These solutions fulfill the rigorous cost and time-to-market requirements of the consumer electronics market (1). Large consumer-related orders from Apple will continue to drive the top-line growth for the analog chip business.

Due to the realignment of merged segment, we would see an extraordinary growth in 2017. In 2018 we assume the revenue to grow at a CAGR of 34%. 2019 onwards we assume the growth to stabilize at 28% as per the market demand.

Communications

Communications segment derives its demand from the growth of broadband, wireless and internet infrastructures industries. Constant efforts to increase the speed, efficiency of bandwidth and decrease the power consumption of communications has led to continuous rise in demand for the analog products. This segment has reported 24% Y-o-Y growth for nine months ended 2017 and continues to grow with rising industry for video streaming, voice communication and machine-type communications.

The graph below shows the revenue from Telecommunications industry in the past and the estimates for forecasted period. We see the steady rise in revenue and assume the growth to continue.

Source: Statista

Due to the realignment of merged segment, we would see an extraordinary growth in 2017. In 2018 we assume the revenue to grow at a CAGR of 7%. 2019 onwards we assume the growth to stabilize at 1.5% as per the market as depicted in the graph above.

Automotive

The Automotive segment developed differentiated high performance solutions that have helped automotive systems to be more green, safe and smart than they already were. This segment has reported 37% Y-o-Y revenue growth for nine months ended 2017 and increased significant market share through solutions that improve vehicle stability and in cabin audio/video quality.

Management expects the per vehicle dollar-content opportunity (currently $250) to double by next 5-7 years because traditional cars adding additional electronic

content in their vehicles such as sensors, active safety systems, and advanced infotainment systems. The hybrid and electric autos are increasing the amount of chip content in each vehicle.

Due to the realignment of merged segment, we would see an extraordinary growth in 2017. In 2018 we assume the revenue to grow at a historical CAGR of 11%. 2019 onwards we assume the growth to stabilize at 10% as per the market demand.

Geographic Distribution

The chart below explains the geographic distribution of revenue for ADI as reported for the year 2016 and for forecasted year 2021.

Source: ADI 10-K

Source: HF Estimates

As seen in the graphs above, the revenue contribution from United States was 37% and from China and Rest of Asia together was 28% as reported by the companies in 2016.

The outlook for forecasted 5 years is that the contribution revenue earned from China and India will gradually increase and that from United States will do down. LLTC has benefited from outsized exposure to powertrain in China and we expect to see the similar growth in coming years. Hence, we predict that by year 2021, revenue contribution from Unites States will fall down to 32% whereas from China and Rest of Asia will increase to 36%.

Cost Structure

Source: ADI 10-K (FY 2016)

The chart explains all the cost structure of ADI and major expenses as a percentage of total expenses. Major expenses incurred by ADI are:

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Acquisition of Linear Technology Corporation (LLTC) On July 26th, 2016, Analog Devices entered into a merger agreement with Linear Technology Corporation (LLTC) for $14.8 billion in a cash and stock transaction. For every share in LLTC, the stockholder received $46.00 in cash and 0.2321 of a share of the Company’s common stock at the closing (1). To fund the acquisition and pay the shareholders of Linear, ADI issued new shares of approximately 58.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The remaining $11.6 billion was to be funded from new short- and long-term debts.

On March 10, 2017, ADI announced the completion of the acquisition of Linear Technology Limited (LLTC). The two firms have very well complemented each other. LLTC has provided access to power management to ADI, which was missing. ADI expects to save $150 million in costs within 18 months of this acquisition date and double its addressable market from the acquisition (9).

On the acquisition date, the total consideration paid to acquire Linear turned out to be approximately $15.8 billion.

Source: ADI 10-Q 3Q2017

Above is the graph that shows the breakup of the consideration. As stated in the 10Q for third quarter, “consisting of $11.1 billion in cash financed through existing cash on hand, net proceeds from bridge and term loan facilities and proceeds received from the issuance of

senior unsecured notes, $4.6 billion from the issuance of the Company's common stock and $0.1 billion of consideration related to the replacement of outstanding equity awards held by Linear employees.”(1)

Recent Earnings

ADI announced very strong earnings for the third quarter 2017. Strong business performance and operational execution has resulted in higher profits than expected and the guidance provided by the company.

EPS

For third quarter of FY 2017, ADI has declared strong results. It reported earnings that beat market consensus by $0.11 (6) at $1.26.

Revenue

This was the first quarter, post-merger, when the companies declared their merged financials. Revenue for third quarter of July 2017 was $1.43 billion, up 65% Y-o-Y, surged by revenue included of Linear Technology. Out of this $393m was contributed by LLTC.

For ADI, stand-alone revenue increased 6% sequentially and 23% over the prior year, majorly, more than half contributed by the industrial segment. This industrial revenue mix led to increase in the gross margins to 70.5%. The operating margins reported for the quarter reached 40.5%. The funds raised for LLTC acquisition led to an increase in interest expense in third quarter. Ultimately, leading to a Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.26.

Dividends

ADI pays out significant amount of its earnings to shareholders. Historically, ADI has maintained a dividend payout ratio in the range of 38% to 42%. We have assumed the payout ratio to remain constant at average rate of 38% for our valuation model. In August 2017, ADI declared $0.45/share quarterly dividend in line with previous years, representing a $1.80 annual dividend per share.

Future Estimates

Source: Bloomberg and HF estimates

The above graph states that, the revenue consensus estimates from Bloomberg and EPS estimates from Bloomberg align with the assumptions of the Henry Fund team for the DCF model. We expect ADI to earn an annual revenue of $5.1 bn in year 2017 and report an EPS of $4.10.

Historically, the company has mostly either met or beat its guidance for revenue and EPS and this trend makes us believe that it would continue the same in fourth quarter.

INDUSTRY TRENDS

We have a positive fundamental outlook for the semiconductors industry for coming three years.

World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) industry forecast projects semiconductor global market to grow by an annualized rate of 11.50% in 2017 and 2.70% in 2018, followed by a slight decrease of 0.20% in 2019 (19). This semiconductor industry comprises of various sub-sectors:

Industrial - As per PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the industrial semiconductor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% by 2019 (18).

Medical – As per IC Insights, global medical semiconductor sales will grow at a 12.3% CAGR by 2018(18)

Automotive – As per MarketsandMarkets, the automotive semiconductor market will grow at a CAGR of 5.8% by 2022(18)

Source: Statista.com (16)

From the above graph, we see that the semiconductor industry is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 5% in next three years by 2019.

The biggest drivers of this growth in the industry are the trends mentioned below:

iPhone Sales

The Consumer segment’s revenue for ADI highly depends on smartphone sales. There exists a strong correlation between Apple (AAPL)’s revenue and ADI’s consumer segment revenue as it is ADI’s key customer in this segment. Refer to the graph below.

Revenue Estimates

Page 7

Fall in iPhone sales led to decrease in revenue from consumer segment for ADI, hence, ADI had reduced its dependence on Apple sales and moved to other segments for growth to reduce its exposure to Apple. If we compare the latest earnings release, we can see a correlation between Apple sales and ADI’s sales. Apple reported sales rising 5% YoY in fiscal 1Q17, and ADI’s consumer segment revenue increased 63.7% YoY during the same quarter.

Apple has launched two new smartphones this quarter: iPhone 8 / iPhone 8 Plus and premium iPhone X handset. This increases ADI’s content per phone and we expect to see high growth in consumer revenue.

Internet of Things – IoT

The Internet of things (IoT) is “the inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles (also referred to as "connected devices" and "smart devices"), buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity which enable these objects to collect and exchange data.”(2)

To simplify, IoT is basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet or vice versa. This includes everything from cellphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of (21). As more information is digitized, increasing analog chips are sold to assist the digital chips that process, transmit, and store information. The strong push toward wireless capabilities for electronic equipment, laptop PCs, automobile and smartphones has helped analog sales grow faster than the broader industry over the past few years.

Source: Statista

The graph shows the Size of the Internet of Things (IoT) in retail market in the United States from 2014 to 2022 (in billion U.S. dollars). It is evident the IoT market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14% in coming years until 2022 (16). This means that the demand for analog chips and ICs will increase and improve drastically in coming years promising a healthy growth for the entire semiconductor industry.

Cloud Services

The sensors used for Internet of Things (IoT) just collect the data, measure and evaluates it. But IoT creates real value when the thus gathered data can be leveraged and applied to take decisions. Cloud services provide an infrastructure to save this data and analyze it in real time.

IoT cannot function without cloud-based applications that interpret and transmit the data coming from all these sensors. The cloud enables the apps to work anytime, anywhere.

ADI expects the per vehicle dollar-content opportunity (currently $250) to double by next 5-7 years because traditional cars adding additional electronic content in their vehicles such as sensors, active safety systems, and advanced infotainment systems.

Book to Bill ratio

Source : semi.org(24)

Book to Bill ratio is “the ratio of new orders to completed sales in the semiconductor industry, regarded as an economic indicator for overall trends in the technology sector.”(2) It indicates how fast a company can satisfy demand for its products, is company under-selling their product , does company need to invest in speeding up their production and or shipping processes.

As we see the latest Book to Bill ratio is 1.06 as of Dec 2016, it indicates there is higher demand, demand is outpacing the supply but it still indicates a positive outlook and growth prospects for the semiconductor industry as a whole.

MARKETS AND COMPETITION

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical as we already discussed. The demands for the products are highly associated with the end-market demand for cell phones, electronic equipment, high-tech automobile, etc. The chance for Analog Devices to improve profitability is to heavily invest in R&D to create new products and increase higher-end offerings for applications in non-consumer end-markets, increasing sales and driving gross margins, such as industrial and automobiles.

Analog markets are also appealing because there are innumerable designs available and once a company wins a spot in a customer's product, the apt price can be fixed, and maintain better price stability than many digital markets, where commodity pricing pressures prevail.

We have evaluated the market conditions based on Porter’s Five Forces model:

Threat of New Entrants: This industry of manufacturing analog chips is extremely difficult to enter. Reasons being first it requires a big amount of investment as setting up a chip fabrication factory requires billions of dollars. Second, the skill set is different for analog engineers than for digital designers, and it needs a practical experience beyond graduate education to fully develop the skills. After the setup cost, the expenditure to sustain the business is high too. Hence, the companies in this industry are forming alliances, evident from number of mergers and acquisitions taking place. This helps them be a market leader and spread out the costs of manufacturing.

Power of Suppliers : Suppliers have very little power for large analog chipmakers and semiconductor companies. There are many suppliers, which increases the power of companies in this industry to keep the bargaining power of any one supplier to a minimum.

Power of Buyers. The buyers have a little to medium bargaining power because industry is dominated by a small number of large players. These small number of large players fulfill the demand of diverse customer groups all across various segments including industrials, telecommunication, automobile, etc. But a few analog products contain high proprietary design content with equivalent products available from only a limited number of other analog chipmakers.

Availability of Substitutes. The threat of substitutes is relatively high and also depends on intellectual property protection that might give exclusive rights of manufacturing certain types for chips to a company for a short period of time. After that it is very easy for competitive company to produce equivalent products at lower prices. The company invests huge capital and resources in R&D in building smarter chips but the others just copy and take advantage of the invention.

Competitive Rivalry. The competition is extremely intense in this industry. Chip makers get their market share by differentiating themselves by manufacturing better, high speed, efficient chips. So, they are under constant pressure to come up with something better, faster and

cheaper than existing and produce cutting-edge technology while riding volatile business conditions.

Peer Comparisons

Revenue and Price to Sales

Source: Factset (13)

The graph above shows the comparison of total sales and P/S ratio among the Peer group of ADI. In terms of revenue, Texas Instruments followed by NXP Semiconductors have the biggest market shares. Analog Devices is the third largest in terms of revenue share of the market but it is still better than its peer companies.

Almost 80% of revenue for Texas Instruments comprises of Analog and embedded processors and extreme diverse customer base. The acquisition of NXP semiconductors by Qualcomm will end in 2017 end, for almost $14 billion, which is supposed to be one of the biggest deal in Semiconductor industry and would make Qualcomm a giant player.

It looks like Texas Instruments, Skyworks Solutions and ADI has one of the highest Forward Price to sales ratio amongst their peer group. A higher P/S ratio projects that the market expects maintenance of premium pricing of its products and safeguard of its margins from the firm. The other view can say that higher P/S ratio means company is overvalued but we cannot view P/S ratio only, as with any other ratio, the P/S ratio cannot be viewed in isolation, because it gives a smaller view of company’s valuation and outlook.

Page 10

Margins – Gross and Operating

Source: Factset (13)

The graph above shows the comparison of gross margin and EBITDA margin of Adi with its peer companies In the Semiconductor market.

In terms of Gross margins, ADI has the highest gross margin percentage (68% - 70%) amongst other companies, followed by Maxim Integrated products at 63% and Texas Instruments at 61%. For ADI, the acquisition of LLTC has pushed the gross profit margins from 68% in 2016 to 70% in 2017. The gross margin percentage represents the percent of total sales revenue retained by the company after incurring the direct costs to manufacture the goods and provide services. Hence, ADI’s higher percentage means it retains more on each dollar of sales, to service its other costs and debt obligations.

The EBITDA measures a company's profitability before deductions that are considered irrelevant such as interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to the business decision-making process. The EBITDA margin is indicates the percentage of a company's earnings remaining after operating expenses. As seen in the graph, ADI has EBITDA margin almost at the median in comparison to its peers but we expect the margin to improve in near future with its merger with LLTC due to consolidation of operations.

Enterprise value/EBITDA and Price/Earnings

Source: Factset (13)

The graph above makes a peer comparison for ADI’s peer group based on two ratios – EV/EBITDA and P/E ratio. The EV/EBITDA is considered a better valuation metric as it is not affected if the capital structures changes, provides better comparison of companies with different capital structure. But price to earnings ratio indicates amount an people would invest in a company to receive one dollar of that company’s earnings. It more depends on investor’s outlook of the company’s earnings estimates. If we take a look at these ratios together, we would be able to identify company which is overvalued or undervalued.

Looking at the graph, we can see Microchip Technologies is extremely overvalued. The reason is the high net income numbers that have increased book value via retained earnings. ADI on a contrast looks to be undervalued with highest EV/EBITDA ratio but median Price/ Earnings ratio.

Debt/Equity Ratio

Source: Factset (13)

Page 11

The Debt/Equity ratio compares total liabilities to shareholders' equity. A higher median Debt /Equity ratio in the industry should raise a red flag. From the above graph, we see ADI is using very high leverage. But this is a temporary situation as the debt was raised to fund the acquisition of LLTC. The company plans to re-pay the debt at a faster pace in coming years. Microchip Technology has a sharply high debt and interest expense because of various acquisitions in the past but not able to reduce debt at a faster rate.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

We have a positive fundamental outlook for the semiconductor industry and analog chips manufacturers. The companies in this industry have had good growth and posted healthy earnings in last few years and we expect it to continue in future.

There is a strong correlation between growth of this industry and global employment growth. So, it is extremely necessary to forecast the US employment rate. It is also important to track the GDP growth forecasts for US as ADI’s revenue growth depends on the GDP growth. Ultimately interest expense will form a bigger component due to huge debt taken by ADI to fund LLTC acquisition. This is highly dependent on Fed Fund rates, we should forecast and estimate the rise in interest rates for coming years.

GDP Growth

Source: Tradingeconomics.com

Going forward, the US GDP will grow and is expected to remain stable at around 2.5% (2017-2019) and this should

translate to a steady demand for analog chips and ICs. GDP growth directly correlates to the buying power and disposable income available to spend on consumer discretionary electronic products such as smartphones, tablets, PCs, and other electronic devices.

Unemployment rate

A good employment rate and low unemployment rate are good signs for ADI. As the employment increases, the disposable income available for spending on consumer products and electronics increases. A good employment rate is positively correlated to spending on consumer discretionary electronics such as smartphones, tablets, PCs etc.

Graph suggests that the unemployment rates in United States has been all time low recently. The unemployment rate in the US has continued to decline. Current unemployment rate is 4.4% in Aug 2017 and the Henry Fund team believes that unemployment will reach 4.3% over next 6 months. This rising employment rates indicate positive impacts on ADI’s revenue.

FED Interest rates

Federal Reserve Bank raised FED Funds rate in May 2017 to 1.16% and left the door open for further rates hikes. We forecast the fed funds rate will reach 2% over the 2 years’ horizon, while we estimate it to remain stable at 1.7% over the next six months. The increase will lead to increased borrowing costs which means that ADI will pay higher interest expense on the long-term debt borrowed for LLTC acquisition. The table below depicts interest rate trends.

ADI’s Balance sheet represent long-term debt of around $ 8 billion. These funds have been used to fund and pay the shareholders of LLTC. As markets increases the interest rates in response to increase in Fed Funds rate, ADI will have to pay more interest on this loan.

INVESTMENT POSITIVES

• The industrial semiconductor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% by 2019 (18). The demand for analog chips is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% in coming years until 2022. The market trend of Internet of Things (IoT) that drives demand for the analog semiconductor industry is positive and expected to grow at 14% CAGR to 2022. (16). As more information is digitized, increasing analog chips are sold to assist the digital chips that process, transmit, and store information. The strong push toward wireless capabilities for electronic equipment, laptop PCs, automobile and smartphones has helped analog sales grow faster than the broader industry over the past few years.

• Global automotive sensors market from 2015 to 2021 is growing at a great speed CAGR of 10%. This shows an opportunity that ADI can leverage to sell its analog ICs and chips and to double the per vehicle content for smart vehicles.

• ADI has a steady and profitable business model, like other large analog players. Semiconductor industry tends to experience volatile swings in terms of operating results

and free cash flows during various stages of the industry's business cycle. Chipmakers in this segment are less risky and relatively stable.

INVESTMENT NEGATIVES

• ADI has a $8.4 billion in debt that was raised to fund and pay the shareholders of Linear Technologies as part of the acquisition deal. The fed fund rates were last raised in May 2017 and any significant increase in future can result in payment of higher interest. A further change in interest rates increases the risk associated with the investment also leading to a possible credit rating downgrade for ADI.

VALUATION

ADI follows a 52-week fiscal year ending in October. Discounted Cash Flow, Dividend Discount Model and relative P/E analysis have been used to value ADI. The three approaches presented a price of $96.8, $55 and $106 respectively. We believe that the intrinsic value of ADI’s stock is closest to the DCF-EP model as the DCF model accounts for the residual income available to all equity holders.

We believe the stock value is most closely captured by the DCF valuation as it most closely captures the revenue decomposition and growth forecasts of the different lines of business. Hence, we have given a BUY rating to the stock. The stock currently trades for around $89 and thus we estimate a high upside of 15.5%. We also used relative P/E valuation technique which presented a price of $106. We compared ADI to different semiconductor and analog chipmaker companies such as Texas Instruments, NXP Semiconductor, Microchip Technology and a few others. That can be called as the closest competitors to ADI. But there are differences in the business models and size of the clients. Due to different revenue segments and earnings composition, it is difficult to make a head to head comparison of these peer companies. Also, relative P/E valuation method assumes that market values peer stocks accurately. But these technology companies tend to have higher P/E multiples. This is because in the case of tech companies, the assumption is a growing stream of future income which increases the present value (share price) even though the present earnings are low.

FED Interest Rate Trends

Page 13

In FY 2016, ADI declared and paid $1.66 as dividend. We have assumed the 2016 payout ratio to continue in the foreseeable future and have assumed a payout ratio of 38%. No importance has been attached to the stock price derived from the DDM model due to the theoretical limitations of the DDM model not accounting for the complete residual income attributable to the equity holders of a firm. The shortcomings of Relative P/E valuation method and DDM, leads us to believe that DCF valuation captures the stock value most accurately.

Short-Term Revenue Growth Assumptions

Revenue from various segments as described earlier, is assumed to grow at a percentage which is a combination of historical average and the market growth estimates. Due to the realignment of merged segment, we would see an extraordinary growth in 2017.

Industrial - 2018 we assume the revenue to grow at a historical CAGR of 15%. 2019 onwards we assume the growth to stabilize at 7% as the demand for this segment is highly dependent on the growth of Internet of Things market (IoT) market.

Consumer - 2018 we assume the revenue to grow at a historical CAGR of 34%. 2019 onwards we assume the growth to stabilize at 28% as per the market demand.

Communications- 2018 we assume the revenue to grow at a historical CAGR of 7%. 2019 onwards we assume the growth to stabilize at 1.5% as per the market demand.

Automotive - 2018 we assume the revenue to grow at a historical CAGR of 11%. 2019 onwards we assume the growth to stabilize at 10% as per the market demand.

All these segments ensure sustainable revenue growth for ADI but we also need to consider the increased growth in other costs which grow in proportion with sales such as cost of sales - 30%, selling, general and admin - 12%, Research and Development – 19%, Special charges – 1.2% of sales. Other expenses like depreciation are expected to be CAGR rate of 20% of beginning assets. Amortization expense is taken as per the schedule provided in the 10-K.

Gross profit / Operating profit margins

Historical data shows that Gross profit margin has been between 68% and net operating margin between around

35%. By 2021, we expect a gross margin to be 70% and net margin to be around 25% which we include in our valuation model.

Capital Expenditure

Based on historical average of amount spent on Property, Plant and equipment, we expect gross tangible assets to grow at CAGR rate of following: Land and Building 10.5%, Machinery 9.7%, Office equipment 6%, Leasehold Improvement 5.45% every year. In case of intangibles, the historic growth has been due to development of technology and patents in the past. We assume that ADI makes no big acquisition in next five years and hence, intangibles grow at a low rate of CAGR 1.6% for patents relating to new technological developments.

Debt

ADI’s 10-Q mentions that it will repay 1 billion debt per year in next 5 years. We assume the same.

Share Repurchases

ADI currently has suspended their share repurchase program temporarily, that is in connection with the acquisition. We have no information on when the repurchase program will start again.

Other assumptions

Continuing value growth of EPS is assumed to be in line with estimated GDP growth i.e. estimated 3%. (21) Risk-free rate is taken as 2.66%, which is the 30-yr. treasury yield rate. Ultimately, we believe that the Equity Risk Premium is 4.8% which adequately captures the risk associated with the market over and above the risk-free rate.

Valuation Summary

The DCF model presents a stock price of $96.8, with a 4.8% equity risk premium. The various sensitivity analyses performed have been conducted that reveal the target price for ADI share to be between $94 - $100. The model presents 15.4% upside potential over current market price which is driving the BUY recommendation for the stock.

KEYS TO MONITOR

ADI is exposed to highly cyclical semiconductor industry. Due to its diverse customer base, the sales and growth is closely related to the performance of its various end markets. Below are the risks faced by ADI and keys to be monitored essential for the growth of ADI:

• ADI’s revenue in communications segment will flow with the size and timing of various networking buildouts across the globe. Hence, the progress and growth of this industry need to be monitored.

• ADI should monitor health of industrial and automotive

end markets as more than half of its chip sales from this

segment, so weakness in these sectors can have an

impact on sales for ADI.

• ADI’s consumer business has seen a dependability on

iPhone sales and may receive an increase in content per

phone in near-term, but it is important to monitor the

iPhone sales number and relation with Apple, as sales

could fall just as quickly if Apple were to ever switch to a

different supplier.

• One of the most important keys to monitor is the competitive landscape of ADI. As ADI’s market share depends upon the technology, we must be vigilant for new technology in the market and continue to invest highly in R&D and Innovation.
