Shares of semiconductor companies are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate some supply chain concerns and improve macro sentiment as well as demand visibility.

Move over, dividends &#8211; corporate America is in love with itself again. According to JPMorgan strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, U.S. corporate share buybacks surged in April, marking the strongest monthly pace in years and reinforcing their role as a stabilizing force <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/volatility">in volatile markets</a>.
May has kicked off with a fresh surge of stock buyback announcements, and it's not just a sprinkle &#8211; it's a full-blown cash confetti storm. Repurchase plans announced since April 1 now add up to $262 billion, suggesting companies are favoring ploughing extra cash into buybacks over, say, dividend payments.
Panigirtzoglou notes that this contrarian pattern &#8211; where buybacks ramp up following equity market corrections &#8211; was similarly evident during the Silicon Valley Bank crisis two years ago (the SVB collapsed in March 2023) and the early stages of the Ukraine war.
He notes that corporate repurchases complemented a rebound in equity-focused hedge fund positioning, which had previously de-risked in February and March, further amplifying April&#8217;s V-shaped equity recovery.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple, Alphabet, Wells Fargo Leading Corporate Buybacks</h2>
Leading the parade is Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), flexing its financial muscles with a jaw-dropping $100 billion buyback—because, apparently, having a $2.7 trillion market cap wasn't enough self-confidence. This is no fluke; it's an "additional" buyback, which means Apple's just topping off a long-standing habit of hoarding its own stock like it&#8217;s going out of style.
Hot on its heels is Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) with a $70 billion share repurchase. Google may have axed cookies, but it's still baking up returns for shareholders in bulk.
Not to be outdone, Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) is pouring $40 billion into its own stock. After years of reputational rehab, the bank seems ready to bet on itself &#8211; in a very big way.
And it&#8217;s not just the mega-caps feeling themselves. KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) dropped a $5 billion mic, Dick's Sporting Goods Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) entered the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44246625/dicks-sporting-beats-q4-earnings-stock-falls-amid-soft-outlook">game with $3 billion</a>, and Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) is scooping up $3.5 billion of its shares &#8211; proving oil profits aren't just for gas stations and exec bonuses.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tech&#8217;s Buyback Binge</h2>
Tech is clearly in a buyback binge: Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/04/44674899/broadcom-stock-jumps-on-10-billion-buyback-authorization">announced $10 billion</a> in early April, and Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) followed suit with its own <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/03/44218819/applied-materials-hikes-dividend-for-8th-year-greenlights-10-billion-buyback-to-reward-investors">$10 billion plan</a>. 
Meanwhile, Align Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGN#NASDAQ">ALGN</a>) flashed its smile with a fresh $1 billion authorization, maybe to offset Invisalign's market volatility.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Consumer Stocks &#8211; Not Far Behind</h2>
There's also action in the consumer and industrial space. Graphic Packaging Holding Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPK#NYSE">GPK</a>), Ingersoll Rand Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IR#NYSE">IR</a>), and Cirrus Logic Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRUS#NASDAQ">CRUS</a>) all made $500 million–$1.5 billion commitments. 
Even MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) got in on the game with a $2 billion plan &#8211; perhaps betting on itself while its visitors bet on the slots.
The pattern is clear: buybacks are back with a vengeance. Whether it&#8217;s to boost EPS, signal confidence, or fend off activist investors, companies are scooping up shares at a pace that has investors sitting up &#8211; and short sellers sweating.
Bottom line? When the biggest names in business are buying their own stock, it might be time for investors to take notice—before the buyback wave pushes prices even higher.

Mid-cap fabless <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/compare-stocks/semiconductor-stocks/">semiconductor</a> company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/CRUS/">Cirrus Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crus#NASDAQ">CRUS</a>) saw its stock climb nearly 7% on Wednesday following an impressive <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/CRUS/earnings/">earnings beat</a> reported in the after-hours on Tuesday. The strong results prompted multiple analyst upgrades, including one from Benchmark, which cited a solid Q3 performance and a promising outlook. After a steep decline from its 52-week highs, Cirrus Logic appears to be regaining momentum, raising the question, does this mark an opportune time to invest?
<h2>Getting to Know Cirrus Logic</h2>
Cirrus Logic, Inc. develops low-power, high-precision mixed-signal processing solutions for markets in China, the United States, and internationally. The company specializes in audio products, including amplifiers and codecs that integrate analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters into a single integrated circuit.
The company&#39;s innovations serve a wide range of applications, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, AR/VR headsets, home theater systems, automotive entertainment systems, and professional audio systems. Beyond audio, the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/computer-and-technology/">technology</a> company offers high-performance mixed-signal products such as camera controllers, haptic and sensing solutions, and battery and power ICs, catering to both consumer electronics and industrial applications. Founded in 1984 in Austin, Texas, Cirrus Logic, headquartered in Austin, markets its products through direct sales, external representatives, and distributors.
<h2>CRUS Posted an Impressive Earnings Beat</h2>
The company&#39;s <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/CRUS/news/">latest earnings release</a> revealed strong financial performance. Revenue for Q3 was $555.7 million, surpassing analyst expectations of $510 million and exceeding the upper end of the company&#39;s guidance of $540 million. Non-GAAP earnings per share stood at $2.51, well above the consensus estimate of $2.04.&nbsp;
While revenue declined from the $619 million reported in Q3 the previous year, gross margins improved to 53.6% from 51.4%, reflecting operational efficiency gains. Demand for Cirrus Logic&#39;s smartphone audio components, particularly the custom boosted amplifier and 22-nanometer smart codec, played a crucial role in the quarter&#39;s performance. Additionally, the company&#39;s inclusion in Intel&#39;s Arrow Lake design for laptops signals progress in diversifying beyond mobile devices.
<h2>CRUS Remains Heavily Reliant on Apple</h2>
Despite these positives, Cirrus Logic relies heavily on <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AAPL/">Apple</a>, which accounts for 87% of its sales. Any shift in Apple&#39;s procurement strategy could pose a significant revenue risk. The company also faces challenges tied to its fabless semiconductor model, including supply chain vulnerabilities. However, its expansion efforts in high-performance mixed-signal (HPMS) solutions could help mitigate such risks over time. Inventory levels rose to $271.8 million, largely due to wafer contract commitments, highlighting a key area of operational focus moving forward.
<h2>Management Is Optimistic About Q4&nbsp;</h2>
Looking ahead, Cirrus Logic&#39;s management remains <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AAPL/news/">cautiously optimistic</a> about Q4 FY25, forecasting revenue between $350 million and $410 million, in line with seasonal trends. Gross margins are expected to remain within the 51%-53% range, while operating expenses are projected between $141 million and $147 million, including $20 million in stock-based compensation.
<h2>Benchmark and Barclays Upgrade CRUS&nbsp;</h2>
The earnings beat and improving outlook have led to <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AAPL/forecast/">favorable analyst sentiment</a>.
Benchmark upgraded CRUS from Hold to Buy with a $125 price target, citing the company&#39;s strong quarter and progress in customer and end-market diversification.&nbsp;
Barclays also raised its price target from $105 to $115, reinforcing a positive outlook for the stock.
Seven analysts currently rate CRUS a Moderate Buy, and the consensus price target is $134.17, representing a potential 24.13% upside from current levels.
<h2>Cirrus Logic Shows Resilience with Strong Earnings Performance</h2>
With its latest earnings signaling resilience and ongoing efforts to diversify beyond its key customer, Cirrus Logic is regaining investor confidence. However, risks tied to customer concentration and supply chain management remain factors to consider. As the company navigates these challenges while expanding into new markets, investors will be watching closely to see whether CRUS can sustain its recent momentum.
