Speaker #3: question. Yes, thank you.
Tore Svanberg: Yes, thank you. And congrats on the results here. Kishore, I was hoping you could talk a little bit more about the PAM4DSP business. So there's obviously a lot of headlines and things out there on LPO and CPO, but you seem to be seeing more and more traction, more and more design wins. Sounds like Rushmore is getting pulled in somewhat. So could you just walk through some of those dynamics? Because obviously, that will give us better confidence about the continuous growth of PAM4 in 2026 and 2027.
Tore Svanberg: Yes, thank you. And congrats on the results here. Kishore, I was hoping you could talk a little bit more about the PAM4DSP business.

Sounds like Rushmore is getting pulled in somewhat.
Speaker #4: So, could you just walk through some of those dynamics? Because obviously, that will give us better confidence about the continuous growth of M4 in '26 and—
Speaker #4: 27? So
Kishore Seendripu: So thank you, Ross. Sorry, thank you, Tore, for the question. Obviously, this is a pretty significantly confidence-boosting growth that we are seeing. We were guiding to $110 to $130 million. That's a very positive statement about our traction. And we are in the initial phase of the ramp of our 800-gig product solution, and it really picked up more steam and energy the second half. The market as a whole is still a pluggable market, which is going very, very fast. And the LPO deployments and such are very niche right now. And I really look at the LPOs, per se, as a very small fraction of the market and not long-term.
Kishore Seendripu: So thank you, Ross. Sorry, thank you, Tore, for the question. Obviously, this is a pretty significantly confidence-boosting growth that we are seeing. We were guiding to $110 to $130 million. That's a very positive statement about our traction. And we are in the initial phase of the ramp of our 800-gig product solution, and it really picked up more steam and energy the second half.
Speaker #5: Thank you, Ross. Sorry—thank you, Tory, for the question. Obviously, this is a pretty significantly confidence-boosting growth that we are seeing. We were guiding to $110, $130 million.

Speaker #5: The market as a whole is still fast. And the pluggable market, which is going very, very LPO deployment and such, are very niche right now.
Speaker #5: And I really look at the LPOs, per se, as a very small fraction of the market and not long term. The LROs, for example, I think they have got some traction, but there'll be a market that is substantially pluggable, and there'll be a fraction of the market in LROs.
Kishore Seendripu: The LROs, for example, I think they have got some traction, but there'll be a market that is substantially pluggables, and there'll be a fraction of the market in LROs, and LPOs will be sort of a very, very controlled environment, limited deployments, potentially in 800 gig, but less so on 1.6 terabytes. So that's our view of the marketplace. Obviously, there's a market that's also beyond that, which is, as the scale-up continues, there'll be electrical retimers, and that's going to be a huge volume in the scale-up world as well. Talking of CPOs, people are doing CPOs today as sort of wet your feet in the market, but it still is early innings for CPO.
The LROs, for example, I think they have got some traction, but there'll be a market that is substantially pluggables, and there'll be a fraction of the market in LROs, and LPOs will be sort of a very, very controlled environment, limited deployments, potentially in 800 gig, but less so on 1.6 terabytes. So that's our view of the marketplace.
Speaker #5: And LPOs will be sort of very, very controlled environments—limited deployments, potentially at 800 gig, but less so on 1.6 terabytes. So that's our view of the marketplace.

Speaker #5: Talking of CPOs, people are doing CPOs today as sort of 'vet your feet' in the market, but it still is early innings for CPO.
Speaker #5: And in the long term, they will be a market that is going to be more varietal than just pure CPOs. The 'O' in the CPO being many number of ways of doing it.
Kishore Seendripu: And in the long term, there will be a market that is going to be more varietal than just pure CPOs, the O in the CPO being many number of ways of doing it. Obviously, there's a silicon plane within the CPO market as well. That is what I call a wide IF fast throughput through the optical, and we expect ourselves to be a player as the market evolves. As MaxLinear, we are to be very focused and disciplined, and PAM4 is a huge growing market. We are developing a strong foothold, though we are not the incumbents. But I think today in the world, we can safely claim we're the top three deployers of PAM4DSP. And as the market strengthens, we hope to branch out and diversify our offerings of what you all know is a very, very robust technology portfolio.

Speaker #5: Of what you all know is a very, very robust technology portfolio. I hope that gives you some sense. And of our technology positioning, from a growth point of view, this year we expect that there could even be upside depending on how the ramps proceed beyond the one that we feel fairly confident on, the visibility in the outlook we have based on the bookings so far in 2026.
Kishore Seendripu: I hope that gives you some sense of our technology positioning. From a growth point of view, this year, we expect that they could even be upside, depending on how the ramps proceed, beyond the one that we feel fairly confident on the visibility and the outlook we have based on the bookings so far in 2026.

I hope that answers your question.
Speaker #5: I hope that answers your question.
Speaker #4: Yeah, no, that's great color. Thank you, Kishore. And as my follow-up, I had a question on the broadband business. How should we think about the trajectory there as we move throughout the year?
Tore Svanberg: Yeah, no, that's great, Paulo. Thank you, Kishore. And as my follow-up, I had a question on the broadband business. And how should we think about the trajectory there as we move throughout the year? You did mention you expect it to be down year-over-year because of the sort of transition to DOCSIS 4.0 or the industry waiting for 4.0. What type of decline are we talking about? I know you're guided to be down seasonally in Q1, but will it sort of decline every quarter this year? Is it going to be a more remarkable decline? Any more color there would be very helpful.
Tore Svanberg: Yeah, no, that's great, Paulo. Thank you, Kishore. And as my follow-up, I had a question on the broadband business.

Speaker #4: What type of decline are we thinking? We're talking about, I know you guided it to be down seasonally in Q1, but will it sort of decline every quarter this year?
Speaker #4: Will there be a more remarkable decline? Any additional color there would be very helpful.
Speaker #2: Maybe, Tory, I'll take that one. So, we did mention that the seasonality certainly plays a role. We're also seeing the upgrade cycle, right, in DOCSIS 4.0.
Steve Litchfield: Maybe, Tore, I'll take that one. So we did mention that the seasonality certainly plays a role. We're also seeing the upgrade cycle, right, in DOCSIS 4.0. That probably starts the latter half of the year. And so it'll come down in the first half of the year and then probably start to build in the second half. So overall, for the year, I do expect it to be down. We did talk a lot about the PON business, right, and the wind that we have there. So we are excited about that. But even with that, it's still early days in it. And so that's why we do expect to see the broadband business down for the year.
Steve Litchfield: Maybe, Tore, I'll take that one. So we did mention that the seasonality certainly plays a role. We're also seeing the upgrade cycle, right, in DOCSIS 4.0. That probably starts the latter half of the year. And so it'll come down in the first half of the year and then probably start to build in the second half.

Speaker #2: So overall, for the year, I do expect it to be down. We did talk a lot about the PON business, right, and the wind that we have there.
Speaker #2: So, we are excited about that. But even with that, it’s still early days in it. And so that’s why we do expect to see the broadband business down for the year.
Speaker #4: Yeah, I think the PON is a substantial opportunity with the new Tier One that's ramping. And based on the ramp itself, there is potential not to see a downturn, so to speak.
Kishore Seendripu: Yeah. I think the PON is a substantial opportunity, the new tier one that's ramping. Based on the ramp itself, there is potential for not to see a downturn, so to speak. PON is going very nicely, and we're grabbing market share. We have many number of designs that we did not have before that will really gain steam in 2027 as well.
Kishore Seendripu: Yeah. I think the PON is a substantial opportunity, the new tier one that's ramping. Based on the ramp itself, there is potential for not to see a downturn, so to speak. PON is going very nicely, and we're grabbing market share. We have many number of designs that we did not have before that will really gain steam in 2027 as well.
Speaker #4: And PON is going very nicely, and we're grabbing market share. And we have many designs that we did not have before that will really kick steam in '27 as well.
Speaker #4: It sounds good. I'll go back in line. Thank you.
Tore Svanberg: Sounds good. I'll go back in line. Thank you.
Tore Svanberg: Sounds good. I'll go back in line. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from David Williams with The Benchmark Company. Please state your question.
Speaker #6: Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my questions, and congrats on the solid execution. Maybe first, just around the data center opportunity—obviously, the DSP is doing really well, but you've got other components that are going into that segment as well.
David Williams: Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my questions, and congrats on the solid execution. Maybe first, just around the data center opportunity. Obviously, the DSP is doing really well, but you've got other components that are going into that segment as well. Can you help us kind of understand maybe what the magnitude of opportunity within the data center is, where you're playing, and kind of how you think that plays out through the year in addition to the DSP?
David Williams: Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my questions, and congrats on the solid execution. Maybe first, just around the data center opportunity. Obviously, the DSP is doing really well, but you've got other components that are going into that segment as well.

Speaker #6: Can you help us kind of understand maybe what the magnitude of opportunity within the data center is and where you're playing, and kind of how you think that plays out through the year, in addition to the DSP?
Speaker #5: So, David, this is early innings for us, right? I mean, we have to say that. And the big entry is right now with the PAM4 transceivers.
Kishore Seendripu: So David, this is early innings for us, right? I mean, we have to say that. And the big entry is right now with the PAM4 transceivers. And this year, we could do anywhere between 4 to 6 million units of PAM4 transceivers, right? But on the other hand, the data center is not just a PAM4 world. There are compute racks. There are communications between data centers. And that market still will grow as the data center clusters increase and the number of data centers increase as well. So we talked about this exciting design win with the Tier 1 OEM who is supplying to Tier 1 data centers and using PON as a control plane layer, not where the data itself is going through between data centers. And there, we are clearly the leaders in the PON silicon offering, and so we should be very well positioned.
Kishore Seendripu: So David, this is early innings for us, right? I mean, we have to say that. And the big entry is right now with the PAM4 transceivers.

Speaker #5: So, we talked about this exciting design win with the tier-one OEM who is supplying to tier-one data centers, and of using PON as a control plane layer—not where the data itself is going through between data centers.
Speaker #5: And there we are clearly the leaders in the PON silicon offering, and so we should be very well positioned. So, that could be a few—that market size, some of these OEMs have talked about hundreds of millions of dollars in value.
Kishore Seendripu: So that could be a few that market size. Some of these OEMs have talked about $ hundreds of millions value for the silicon plane. So that's one opportunity. So it won't happen in 1 year. It'll roll out over the next 2 years. Hopefully, we'll start seeing in 2027, and then it grows beyond that. And then there's the other thing where these racks have become really these compute racks and server racks have become very, very, very sophisticated. They have their own telemetry. Even the racks are being controlled with microcontrollers and so on and so forth. So you need industrial quality sort of transceivers, serial bridges, and so on and so forth, and even smart power management and stuff, and then overall control in the racks. So the rack itself is a huge beast by itself.
So that could be a few that market size. Some of these OEMs have talked about $ hundreds of millions value for the silicon plane. So that's one opportunity. So it won't happen in 1 year.

And then there's the other thing where these racks have become really these compute racks and server racks have become very, very, very sophisticated. They have their own telemetry.
Speaker #5: For the silicon play, so that's one opportunity. It won't happen in one year; it'll roll out over the next two years. Hopefully, we'll start seeing it in '27, and then it grows beyond that.
Speaker #5: And then there's the other thing where these racks have become really these compute racks and server racks have become very, very, very sophisticated. They have their own telemetrics.
Even the racks are being controlled with microcontrollers and so on and so forth. So you need industrial quality sort of transceivers, serial bridges, and so on and so forth, and even smart power management and stuff, and then overall control in the racks. So the rack itself is a huge beast by itself.

Speaker #5: And even smart power management and stuff, and then overall control in the racks. So the rack itself is a huge beast by itself. So we're beginning to start getting design wins in that.
Kishore Seendripu: So we're beginning to start getting design wins in that, and that could be a pretty huge play per rack, if you will. So at this point, I am not very, what I call, I don't want to provide market sizing at a level that we need to ascertain. But that market is very, very huge. There are a number of players, but we have the portfolio depth to participate in all the big spend that is happening as data centers are being built out.
So we're beginning to start getting design wins in that, and that could be a pretty huge play per rack, if you will. So at this point, I am not very, what I call, I don't want to provide market sizing at a level that we need to ascertain. But that market is very, very huge.

Speaker #5: But that market is very, very huge. There are a number of players. But we have the portfolio depth to participate in all the big spend that is happening as data centers are being built out.
Speaker #6: Great, thanks for the color there. And then maybe just to say—only for you, Steve—just looking at the share repurchase authorization, that clearly signals some confidence, I think, in the growth trajectory, but also on the potential arbitration there.
David Williams: Thanks for the color there. And then maybe just secondly for you, Steve, just looking at the share repurchase authorization, that clearly signals some confidence, I think, in the growth trajectory, but also on the potential arbitration there. So maybe if you could just kind of speak around the share repurchase authorization and how we should be thinking about that and what you're telegraphing to the street? Thank you.
David Williams: Thanks for the color there. And then maybe just secondly for you, Steve, just looking at the share repurchase authorization, that clearly signals some confidence, I think, in the growth trajectory, but also on the potential arbitration there.

Speaker #6: So, maybe if you could just kind of speak around the share repurchase authorization and how we should be thinking about that, and what you're telegraphing to the Street.
Speaker #6: Thank
Speaker #6: you. Yeah,
Steve Litchfield: Yeah, David. Absolutely. No, I think the board took some actions last quarter, authorizing $75 million of buyback, took action on it in the quarter, felt the stock was a good place that we wanted to act on it. But frankly, I think the board really wanted to just convey the confidence in the balance sheet. The cash flow improvement, we've talked about it running ahead of plan. It has run ahead of plan now for three quarters in a row. Revenue stability and the outlook that we have from the business continues to improve. And so I think our actions kind of follow that, and including the mention of the arbitration as well.
Steve Litchfield: Yeah, David. Absolutely. No, I think the board took some actions last quarter, authorizing $75 million of buyback, took action on it in the quarter, felt the stock was a good place that we wanted to act on it.

Speaker #1: Our next question comes from Ross Seymour with Deutsche Bank. Please state your question.
Speaker #1: question. Hi, guys.
Ross Seymore: Hi guys. Thanks for asking the question, and congrats on the strong end to the year and beginning of this one. Kishore, on the optical side, a couple of different questions have already been asked, but the competitive landscape, how are you envisioning that going from Keystone to Rushmore? Do you think your positioning gets even stronger? Are there the different technologies coming in create more competitive pressure? Just how do you think MaxLinear is positioned as we look forward?

Speaker #7: Thanks for asking the question, and congrats on the strong end of the year and beginning of this one. Kishore, on the optical side, a couple of different questions have already been asked.
Speaker #7: But the competitive landscape—how are you envisioning that going from Keystone to Rushmore? Do you think your positioning gets even stronger? Are there different technologies coming in that create more competitive pressure?
Speaker #7: Just how do you think MaxLinear's positioned as we look
Speaker #7: forward? Thank
Speaker #5: You, Ross. I won't call you Tory, but just joking here. Very, very good question. Both of you are complimented. So, the strengthening is absolutely a word I love.
Kishore Seendripu: Thank you, Ross. I won't call you Tory, but just joking here. Very, very good question. Both of you are complimented. So the strengthening is absolutely a word I love. On the next generation 1.6 terabit, our position is strengthening. We're gaining some ground and strengthening versus the competition. And I really feel that we are actually now speeding a bit related to where we were. And we are now, we feel that we will really start pulling our weight as 1.6 terabit rolls out. And beyond that, what we call our Big Sky product, 400 gigabit per lane, I think we show our capabilities, our strong low-power implementation capabilities, integration, and our very, very well-developed RF mixed-signal skills. I think we will strengthen our position, and we are strengthening in certain geographies and 800 gig. We have strengthened our relative position within the US.

Speaker #5: On the next generation 1.6 terabit, our position is strengthening. We're gaining some ground and strengthening versus the competition. And I really feel that we are actually now speeding up a bit, related to where we were.
Speaker #5: And we are now—we feel that we will really start pulling our weight as 1.6 terabit rolls out. And beyond that, what we call our Big Sky product—400 gig, 400 gigabit per lane—I think we show our capabilities: our strong low power implementation capabilities, integration, and our very, very well-developed RF mixed-signal skills.
And beyond that, what we call our Big Sky product, 400 gigabit per lane, I think we show our capabilities, our strong low-power implementation capabilities, integration, and our very, very well-developed RF mixed-signal skills. I think we will strengthen our position, and we are strengthening in certain geographies and 800 gig. We have strengthened our relative position within the US.
Speaker #5: I think we will strengthen our position, and we are strengthening in certain geographies. And with 800 gig, we have strengthened our relative position within the US, just given the timing of our product offerings.
Kishore Seendripu: Just the timing of our product offerings, we got late as the number 3. From there, fighting to get to the number 1 and number 2 takes a little bit of a taller order, and incumbency has incredible value. So I hope that puts things in perspective.

Speaker #5: We got late as the number three. And from there, fighting to get to the number one and number two takes a little bit of a taller order.
Speaker #5: And income is, yes, incredible value. So I hope that puts things in perspective.
Speaker #7: It does, thank you very much. And I guess, pivoting over to Steve, just on the margin front, it sounds like you guys have a strong growth year, especially on the infrastructure side coming in 2026.
Ross Seymore: It does. Thank you very much. I guess pivoting over to Steve, just on the margin front, it sounds like you guys have a strong growth here, especially on the infrastructure side coming in 2026. How should we think about both gross margin trajectory just directionally, and OpEx?
Ross Seymore: It does. Thank you very much. I guess pivoting over to Steve, just on the margin front, it sounds like you guys have a strong growth here, especially on the infrastructure side coming in 2026. How should we think about both gross margin trajectory just directionally, and OpEx?
Speaker #7: How should we think about both gross margin trajectory, just directionally, and opex?
Speaker #2: Yeah, I mean, look, on the gross margin side—I mean, we've been talking about the improvement. We've been demonstrating that over the last four quarters.
Steve Litchfield: Yeah. I mean, look, on the gross margin side, I mean, we've been talking about the improvement. We've been demonstrating that over the last four quarters. So we're seeing some upticks there. As you're aware, the product mix is kind of moving in our favor as infrastructure products typically drive higher gross margins. We remain confident that we can exit the year at kind of starting with a 6 versus a 5. We did guide to the 59.5 at the midpoint of our guidance. I mean, you've got some headwinds with cost increases that are out there. But that being said, I think the mix longer term throughout the year will move in our favor, and we'll see some nice improvements. With regard to the OpEx question, look, I don't want to necessarily guide for the whole year, but I mean, I think you've heard from us in the past.
Steve Litchfield: Yeah. I mean, look, on the gross margin side, I mean, we've been talking about the improvement. We've been demonstrating that over the last four quarters. So we're seeing some upticks there. As you're aware, the product mix is kind of moving in our favor as infrastructure products typically drive higher gross margins. We remain confident that we can exit the year at kind of starting with a 6 versus a 5.
Speaker #2: So, we're seeing some upticks there. As you're aware, the product mix is kind of moving in our favor, as infrastructure products typically drive higher gross margins.
Speaker #2: Remain confident that we can exit the year kind of starting with a six versus a five. We did guide to the $59.5 million at the midpoint of our guidance.
We did guide to the 59.5 at the midpoint of our guidance. I mean, you've got some headwinds with cost increases that are out there.

Speaker #2: With regard to the OPEX question, look, I don't want to necessarily guide for the whole year, but I mean, I think you've heard from us in the past, typically we want to grow OPEX about half the rate of the top line.
Steve Litchfield: Typically, we want to grow OpEx about half the rate of the top line. That being said, I don't think we've necessarily been really dialing things back a little bit. We're seeing some nice improvements in efficiency for lots of reasons. And so I actually think we'll see a little bit lower than that. So maybe it's in the 4% to 5% increase this year.
Typically, we want to grow OpEx about half the rate of the top line. That being said, I don't think we've necessarily been really dialing things back a little bit.

Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from Tim Savageaux with Northland Capital Markets. Please state your question.
Speaker #1: And your next question comes from Tim Savageau with Northland Capital Markets. Please state your question.
Speaker #1: Tim Savageau, go ahead. Sorry,
[Analyst] (Northland Capital Markets): All right.
Tim Savageaux: All right.
Operator: Savageaux, go ahead.
Operator: Savageaux, go ahead.
[Analyst] (Northland Capital Markets): Sorry about that. Yep. Sorry. Congrats on the numbers. And first question was, where did we end up 25 in terms of optical DSP revenue? I think you were guiding $60 to 70 million. And can you give us any color there?
Tim Savageaux: Sorry about that. Yep. Sorry. Congrats on the numbers. And first question was, where did we end up 25 in terms of optical DSP revenue? I think you were guiding $60 to 70 million. And can you give us any color there?
Speaker #2: Yep, sorry, bud. Congrats on the numbers. And first question was, where did we end up '25 in terms of optical DSP revenue? I think you were guiding $60 to $70 million, and can you give us any color there?
Speaker #2: Yeah, so Tim, I think as you know, we don't break out these numbers. I think we're consistent with what we've delivered over the last two to three years. I think the guidance that Kishore shared earlier is kind of evidence of what you've seen over the last three years of this doubling that we saw.
Steve Litchfield: Yeah. So Tim, I think so as you know, we don't break out these numbers. I think what we're consistent with what we've delivered over the last two to three years. I think the guidance that Kishore shared earlier is kind of evidence of what you've seen over the last three years of this doubling that we saw. I mean, keep in mind, three years ago, we were doing less than $20 million of revenue. And so I think we're really pleased with the progress we've made and very excited about where we're at. I would probably maybe take the opportunity to, I mean, some of the background of where we exited the year, where we're entering this year. I mean, we mentioned in the prepared remarks about the visibility that we have, the backlog that we have.
Steve Litchfield: Yeah. So Tim, I think so as you know, we don't break out these numbers. I think what we're consistent with what we've delivered over the last two to three years. I think the guidance that Kishore shared earlier is kind of evidence of what you've seen over the last three years of this doubling that we saw.

And so I think we're really pleased with the progress we've made and very excited about where we're at. I would probably maybe take the opportunity to, I mean, some of the background of where we exited the year, where we're entering this year. I mean, we mentioned in the prepared remarks about the visibility that we have, the backlog that we have.
Speaker #2: about where we're at. I And very excited would probably maybe take the opportunity to I mean, some of the background of where we exited the year, where we're entering this year, I mean, we mentioned in the prepared remarks about the visibility that we have, that the backlog that we have, it's in a much better position.
Steve Litchfield: It's in a much better position, I mean, just across all of our businesses, but particularly in the optical side. As you know, we've got 28-week lead times and really confident in this kind of first half of the year where you've already got backlog. We're pushing to get some upsides in here, and we've already seen a lot of success on that front.
It's in a much better position, I mean, just across all of our businesses, but particularly in the optical side.

We're pushing to get some upsides in here, and we've already seen a lot of success on that front.
Speaker #2: I mean, just across all of our businesses, but particularly on the optical side—as you know, we've got 28-week lead times. I'm really confident in this first half of the year, where we've already got backlog.
Speaker #2: We're pushing to get some upsides in here, and we've already seen a lot of success on that.
Speaker #2: front. Okay.
[Analyst] (Northland Capital Markets): Okay. Great. I think we might have talked a little about this last quarter, but just based on the comments early in the call, I just want to make sure I'm hearing this right. So do you guys think you can go faster than 30% overall in 2026? Was that the comment? Because I think the comment was go faster in 2026 than 2025. Or is there some more nuance or detail around that?
Tim Savageaux: Okay. Great. I think we might have talked a little about this last quarter, but just based on the comments early in the call, I just want to make sure I'm hearing this right. So do you guys think you can go faster than 30% overall in 2026? Was that the comment? Because I think the comment was go faster in 2026 than 2025. Or is there some more nuance or detail around that?
Speaker #8: Great. And I think we might have talked a little about this last quarter, but just based on the comments early in the call, I just want to make sure I'm hearing this right.
Speaker #8: So, do you guys think you can go faster than 30% overall in '26? Was that the comment? Because I think the comment was to go faster in '26 than '25.
Speaker #8: Or is there some more nuance or detail around that?
Speaker #2: So Tim, I mean, look, as you know, we don't guide the whole year, and we're not going to do it here. Or we're not going to start today.
Steve Litchfield: So Tim, I mean, look, as you know, we don't guide the whole year, and we're not going to do it here. Or we're not going to start today, I guess I would say. But clearly, you see from mainly the infrastructure growth, but we're seeing a lot of good traction on the PON side. We're seeing industrial multi-market really see a nice recovery this year. So I'm confident that we can outgrow the industry in 2026.

Speaker #4: Hi. This is Sam Feldman on for Carl Ackerman. Thanks for taking my question. On optical DSP, do you expect RAM to be linear throughout the year?
Rachel Smith: Hi. This is Sam Feldman on for Karl Ackerman. Thanks for taking my question. On optical DSP, do you expect ramp to be linear throughout the year? And is there a reason for the $30 million range?
Karl Ackerman: Hi. This is Sam Feldman on for Karl Ackerman. Thanks for taking my question. On optical DSP, do you expect ramp to be linear throughout the year? And is there a reason for the $30 million range?
Speaker #4: And the reason for the $30 million
Speaker #4: range? Hey,
Steve Litchfield: Hey, Sam. So I mean, actually, just to kind of follow on what I was just speaking about, I do think it'll grow throughout the year as we have new programs that will come on, and we have share gains that will continue to gain traction throughout the year. But I would also say that it'll be very strong right out of the gate in Q1 and Q2 because we do have really good visibility, and we have a few customers that are ramping right now.
Steve Litchfield: Hey, Sam. So I mean, actually, just to kind of follow on what I was just speaking about, I do think it'll grow throughout the year as we have new programs that will come on, and we have share gains that will continue to gain traction throughout the year.

Speaker #2: But I would also say that it'll be very strong right out of the gate in Q1 and Q2, because we do have really good visibility.
Speaker #2: And we have a few customers that are ramping right now.
Speaker #4: Got it. Any follow-up? Can you discuss the timing and growth within broadband for the second major Tier One North American carrier and tell under—
Rachel Smith: Got it. Any follow-up? Can you discuss the timing and growth within broadband for the second major tier one North American carrier in calendar 2026?
Karl Ackerman: Got it. Any follow-up? Can you discuss the timing and growth within broadband for the second major tier one North American carrier in calendar 2026?
Speaker #4: '26? Yeah.
Steve Litchfield: Yeah. So look, we've already started shipping some products. We mentioned that we had even started in Q4. It'll be still pretty minor in Q1, and start more in earnest in Q2 and Q3. But obviously, we have good visibility based on the lead times of the supply chain and the bookings that we have in place.
Steve Litchfield: Yeah. So look, we've already started shipping some products. We mentioned that we had even started in Q4. It'll be still pretty minor in Q1, and start more in earnest in Q2 and Q3.

Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from Christopher Rolland with Susquehanna International Group. Please state your question.
Speaker #9: Hey, guys. Thanks for the question. So in your press release and also in your prepared remarks, you talked about gaining market share I think it was general comment across your product set.
Operator: Hey, guys. Thanks for the question. So in your press release and also in your prepared remarks, you talked about gaining market share. I think it was a general comment across your product set, but I was wondering if there are some specific kind of needle-moving opportunities like in broadband; are you gaining share versus Broadcom? What were you specifically trying to highlight there as actual revenue-moving opportunities?
Christopher Rolland: Hey, guys. Thanks for the question. So in your press release and also in your prepared remarks, you talked about gaining market share. I think it was a general comment across your product set, but I was wondering if there are some specific kind of needle-moving opportunities like in broadband; are you gaining share versus Broadcom? What were you specifically trying to highlight there as actual revenue-moving opportunities?
Speaker #9: But I was wondering if there are some specific kind of needle-moving opportunities like in broadband, are you getting share versus broadcom? What were you specifically trying to highlight there as actual revenue moving
Speaker #9: opportunities? Hey, Chris.
Kishore Seendripu: Hey, Chris, that's a very good question. It's a very broad statement. I think it's broadly true as well across the various categories, honestly. I mean, if you look at optical transceivers, our revenue forecast reflects that we are gaining share, right, in some form. If you just go by the units, I mentioned 4 to 6 million units of transceiver opportunities. Then you see that on the PON side, it's a very, very large tier one player is beginning to ramp. And in that particular category, we are gaining share versus our competition on cable as well. We're beginning to gain share that many years ago was ours. We're gaining share against our competition. And then when you go to storage accelerators, there's a completely new market that we are paving the path forward with hardware acceleration and compression so that we have established incumbency as.
Kishore Seendripu: Hey, Chris, that's a very good question. It's a very broad statement. I think it's broadly true as well across the various categories, honestly. I mean, if you look at optical transceivers, our revenue forecast reflects that we are gaining share, right, in some form. If you just go by the units, I mentioned 4 to 6 million units of transceiver opportunities. Then you see that on the PON side, it's a very, very large tier one player is beginning to ramp.
Speaker #2: That's a very good question. It was a very broad statement. I think it's broadly true as well across the various categories. Honestly, I mean, if you look at optical transceivers, our revenue forecast reflects that we are gaining share, right, in some form.
Speaker #2: If you just go by the units I mentioned, four to six million units of transceiver opportunities. Then you see that on the PON side, it's a very, very large tier one player, is mainly to ramp.
Speaker #2: And in that particular category, we are gaining share versus our competition on cable as well. We're beginning to gain share that many years ago was ours.
And in that particular category, we are gaining share versus our competition on cable as well. We're beginning to gain share that many years ago was ours. We're gaining share against our competition. And then when you go to storage accelerators, there's a completely new market that we are paving the path forward with hardware acceleration and compression so that we have established incumbency as.
Speaker #2: We're gaining share against our competition. And then when you go to storage accelerators, there's a completely new market that we are paving the path forward with hardware acceleration compression.
Speaker #2: So we have established incumbency as. And that market itself is poised to grow both on the cloud side and the appliance side. And then what else?
Kishore Seendripu: And that market itself is poised to grow both on the cloud side and the appliance side. And then what else? I mean, it's broadly a correct statement. But actually, now that you asked the question, I think about it and say, you know what? Damn right. So that would be my response to you. Yep.
And that market itself is poised to grow both on the cloud side and the appliance side. And then what else? I mean, it's broadly a correct statement. But actually, now that you asked the question, I think about it and say, you know what? Damn right. So that would be my response to you. Yep.
Speaker #2: I mean, it's broadly a correct statement. But actually, now that you asked the question, I think about it and say, you know what? Damn right.
Speaker #2: So that would be my response to you. Yeah.
Speaker #9: Excellent. And then back to DSP, we track the transceiver market pretty closely. And we underestimated growth in the market there I think growing faster than anyone expected.
Operator: Excellent. And then back to DSP, we track the transceiver market pretty closely, and we underestimated growth in the market there. It's, I think, growing faster than anyone expected, at least in terms of expectations for 2026. You did suggest that there could be upside to your optical number, but why don't you even have more confidence there just given the upside in demand? And then maybe paired with that, are there any supply chain constraints that you're seeing out there that would lower your outlook?
Christopher Rolland: Excellent. And then back to DSP, we track the transceiver market pretty closely, and we underestimated growth in the market there. It's, I think, growing faster than anyone expected, at least in terms of expectations for 2026.

Speaker #9: Just given the upside in demand, and then maybe paired with that, are there any supply chain constraints that you're seeing out there that would lower your outlook?
Speaker #2: Hey, Chris. So look, I mean, I think we're very excited about the RAM set are underway, right, that have already started. And we're picking up traction.
Steve Litchfield: Hey, Chris. So look, I mean, I think we're very excited about the ramps that are underway, right, that have already started, and we're picking up traction. I mean, Kishore spoke about the share gains, I mean, where we've won against the competition. So we're seeing that in the beginning of the year. So really excited about those. Great visibility into future ramps that are coming with some of the new customers, new wins. You mentioned supply chain. Yeah, certainly, there's supply chain tightness out there. We're not concerned about that. I mean, we're working with our suppliers. We've seen improvements thus far, so we haven't had any trouble. As you also know, even outside of the optical world, 80+% of our business is really not exposed to that tightness, so that's good. Optical side certainly is.
Steve Litchfield: Hey, Chris. So look, I mean, I think we're very excited about the ramps that are underway, right, that have already started, and we're picking up traction.

Great visibility into future ramps that are coming with some of the new customers, new wins.
Speaker #2: I mean, Kishore spoke about the share gains—I mean, where we've won against the competition. So we're seeing that in the beginning of the year.
Speaker #2: So, really excited about those. Great visibility into future RAMs that are coming with some of the new customers, new ones. You mentioned supply chain.
You mentioned supply chain. Yeah, certainly, there's supply chain tightness out there. We're not concerned about that. I mean, we're working with our suppliers. We've seen improvements thus far, so we haven't had any trouble. As you also know, even outside of the optical world, 80+% of our business is really not exposed to that tightness, so that's good.

Speaker #2: So we haven't had any trouble. As you also know, even outside of the optical world, 80-plus percent of our business is really not exposed to that tightness.
Speaker #2: So that's good. The optical side certainly is. But we've had a lot of success there, and we're very confident in the outlook for this year.
Steve Litchfield: But we've had a lot of success there, and we're very confident in the outlook for this year.
But we've had a lot of success there, and we're very confident in the outlook for this year.

[Analyst] (Northland Capital Markets): Hey, guys. I'll offer my congratulations as well. I guess, Kishore, just wanted to ask, I think in the past, you guys have sort of said your DSP wins were more for front-end networks. As you start to ramp the 800-gig products here, are you starting to see some of those designs moving into the scale-out networks, or do you think we need to wait for the Rushmore 1.6T product before you start moving into scale-out?

Kishore Seendripu: It's very, very hard to parse. Usually, what is scale-up and scale-out? They're broad categories, right? There are short reaches, long reaches, and mid-reaches. And usually, the short reaches are in what you would call the scale-up network, and the longer ones are usually on the scale-out side. So that's happening on the 800-gig side. And so yes, we are shipping in the scale-up side now, but I still feel that most of it is still in the scale-out network, the traditional scale-out network.

Speaker #2: network. Sorry,
[Analyst] (Northland Capital Markets): Sorry, just so we're clear, you're shipping in, I guess, what I would call front-end networks, sort of the storage networks driven off the TPU, or are you starting to ship in the GPU-to-GPU scale-out?
Quinn Bolton: Sorry, just so we're clear, you're shipping in, I guess, what I would call front-end networks, sort of the storage networks driven off the TPU, or are you starting to ship in the GPU-to-GPU scale-out?
Speaker #10: just so we're clear, you're shipping in, I guess, what I would call front-end networks that the sort of the storage networks driven off the GPU?
Speaker #10: Or are you starting to ship in the GPU-to-GPU scale-out?
Speaker #2: That's a more detailed question. But I would just say I'll leave it here. Let's just leave it as scale-up networks. And it is a smaller portion of the revenue that's starting.
Kishore Seendripu: That's a more detailed question, but I would just say I'll leave it here. Just leave it as scale-up networks, and it is a smaller portion of the revenue that's starting, and most of it is scale-out networks.

Speaker #2: And most of it is scale-out networks.
Speaker #9: Okay. And then, I guess, Kishore, you gave us some numbers both revenue forecast for '26 for optical DSP and you said that could equate to four to six million units.
[Analyst] (Northland Capital Markets): Okay. And then I guess, Kishore, you gave us some numbers, both revenue forecast for 2026 for optical DSP, and you said that could equate to 4 to 6 million units. If I just do the math, it seems like it could imply an ASP sub $25, which seems pretty aggressive. Can you just talk about the pricing environment? Do you guys feel like you're pricing below some of the other peers in the market? Is that helping you to gain share? Do you think you're pricing in line with others in the market?
Quinn Bolton: Okay. And then I guess, Kishore, you gave us some numbers, both revenue forecast for 2026 for optical DSP, and you said that could equate to 4 to 6 million units.

Speaker #2: I mean, that's I think your conclusions are what you're going is absolutely not true. We try to be very competitive in the marketplace. And we try to ride the product competitiveness of our product, right?
Kishore Seendripu: I mean, I think your conclusions or what you're going is absolutely not true. We try to be very competitive in the marketplace, and we try to ride the product competitiveness of our product, right? And so I don't think in this market you win by pricing. You win. Performance is a must. And if this is such an exciting worldwide great phenomenon that's going on, pricing is the last thing that they would make decisions on, especially in a very, very sophisticated technology. So I think anybody says they're winning on pricing. They really are not looking in the right market.

Speaker #2: And so, I don’t think in this market you win by pricing. You win—performance is a must. And if this is such an exciting, worldwide, great phenomenon that’s going on, pricing is the last thing that they would make decisions on, especially in a very, very sophisticated technology.
Speaker #2: So I think anybody says they're winning on pricing, they're really are not looking in the right
Speaker #2: So I think anybody says they're winning on pricing, they're really are not looking in the right market. Got it.
[Analyst] (Northland Capital Markets): Got it. Okay. Thank you, Kishore.
Quinn Bolton: Got it. Okay. Thank you, Kishore.
Speaker #10: Okay. Thank you,
Speaker #10: Kishore. Your next question comes

Speaker #1: from ALECVALERO with Loop Capital Markets. Please state your question.
Speaker #11: Hey, thank you for taking my question. I wanted to ask, what do you see as being the biggest opportunities for gaining market share in 2026?
Rachel Smith: Hey, thank you for taking my question. I wanted to ask, what do you see as being the biggest opportunities for gaining market share in 2026?
Alek Valero: Hey, thank you for taking my question. I wanted to ask, what do you see as being the biggest opportunities for gaining market share in 2026?
Speaker #2: I think it's very, very clear, right? We started with the optical transceivers. As a category that is very meaningful, we have talked about our gains in the storage accelerators.
Kishore Seendripu: I think it's very, very clear, right? We started with the optical transceivers as a category that is very meaningful. We have talked about our gains in the storage accelerators for the infrastructure market. We've talked about, I'm listing the sequence of the value, right? Then where the growth is coming, the PON market revenues increases, and the fourth one is the wireless infrastructure growth. I mean, I've exactly laid down the sequence of where the big growth in absolute dollars is coming. And I think they'll have to retract the percentages as well.

Speaker #2: In the infrastructure market, we've talked about I'm listing the sequence of the value, right? Then where the growth is coming, the PON market revenue increases.
Speaker #2: And the fourth one is the wireless infrastructure growth. I mean, I've exactly laid down the sequence of where the big growth in absolute dollars is coming from.
Speaker #2: And I think they, uh, track the percentages as well, which is lovely.
Speaker #11: Got it. Super helpful on that. And just a quick follow-up—you sparked my curiosity on scale-up. I know you mentioned it's small for now.
Rachel Smith: Got it. Super helpful on that. Just a quick follow-up. You sparked my curiosity on scale-up. I know you mentioned it's small for now, but I wanted to ask you if you could maybe provide some more color on the opportunities there for scale-up.
Alek Valero: Got it. Super helpful on that. Just a quick follow-up. You sparked my curiosity on scale-up. I know you mentioned it's small for now, but I wanted to ask you if you could maybe provide some more color on the opportunities there for scale-up.
Speaker #11: But I wanted to ask you, if you could maybe provide some more color on the opportunities there for scale-up.
Speaker #2: Look, it's a very, very concentrated market from a scale-up point of view. Right? If you really look at it. However, it's a huge opportunity inside the rack, if you will, right?
Kishore Seendripu: Look, it's a very, very concentrated market from a scale-up point of view, right? If you really look at it. However, it's a huge opportunity inside the rack, if you will, right, the compute systems. The scale-up opportunity will span not just PAM4 interconnects, but there are PAM4, Ethernet retimers, and so on on those things, which we have not hit upon. At the UFC, we will be announcing our electrical retimers for the Ethernet product category. Then there are the CPU opportunities as well, right? So it's a whole play for us. It's very, very early innings. Right now, let's stay focused, and it's a heavy growth engine for us, and we're very excited about it.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from you. Tori Spunberg with Stifel. Please state your question.
Operator: Your next question comes from Tore Svanberg with Stifel. Please state your question.
Operator: Your next question comes from Tore Svanberg with Stifel. Please state your question.
Speaker #11: Yes, thank you. Just two quick follow-ups. And yeah, this is Tori, not Ross. And I'm a big Ross fan. So first, first of all, the connectivity segment, how should we think about the puts and takes there this year?
David Williams: Yes, thank you. Just two quick follow-ups. And yeah, this is Tore, not Ross, and I'm a big Ross fan. So first of all, the connectivity segment, how should we think about the puts and takes there this year? Because obviously, part of connectivity is tied to cable or broadband, yet you also have the Ethernet business, obviously, that's doing quite well. So should we think of connectivity as also being down this year, or does it have other subsegments growing fast enough to actually make it a growth segment in '26?
Tore Svanberg: Yes, thank you. Just two quick follow-ups. And yeah, this is Tore, not Ross, and I'm a big Ross fan.

Speaker #11: Or does it have other subsegments growing fast enough to actually make it a growth segment in
Speaker #11: '26? Hey,
Rachel Smith: Hey, Tore. Yes, connectivity certainly grows this year. Wi-Fi will grow this year as Wi-Fi 7 starts to ramp. And then a lot of our Ethernet products that are transitioning to an 800 gig certainly grow this year as well. So both of those.
Steve Litchfield: Hey, Tore. Yes, connectivity certainly grows this year. Wi-Fi will grow this year as Wi-Fi 7 starts to ramp. And then a lot of our Ethernet products that are transitioning to an 800 gig certainly grow this year as well. So both of those.
Speaker #2: Tori. Yes, connectivity certainly grows this year. Wi-Fi will grow this year as Wi-Fi 7 starts to ramp. And then a lot of our Ethernet products that are transitioning to an app gig.
Speaker #2: Certainly grow this year as well. So both of those.
Speaker #11: Very good. And
David Williams: Very good. My last question.
Tore Svanberg: Very good. My last question.
Speaker #2: And I just want to remind that of the sorry, Tori, I want to let you know that cable is a huge part of the market that we have revenues that is not paired with Wi-Fi.
Kishore Seendripu: I just want to remind that of the—sorry, Tore, I want to let you know that cable is a huge part of the market that we have revenues that is not paired with Wi-Fi. So there lies sort of the dissociation and the association. So it depends on all that that ramps as well.
Kishore Seendripu: I just want to remind that of the—sorry, Tore, I want to let you know that cable is a huge part of the market that we have revenues that is not paired with Wi-Fi. So there lies sort of the dissociation and the association. So it depends on all that that ramps as well.
Speaker #2: So, whereas, so there lies the sort of the dissociation and the association. So it depends on all that trends as well.
Speaker #11: Understood. And my last question is sort of going back to the opportunities beyond DSPs. So, you've talked about having products for AECs. Obviously, you have the high-speed analog products to go after LTO.
David Williams: Understood. And my last question is sort of going back to the opportunities beyond DSPs. So you've talked about having products for AECs. Obviously, you have the high-speed analog products to go after LPO, LRO, and so on and so forth, but you continue to call those out as very niche markets. So I guess my question is, if you do see those segments getting more traction, how long would it take for you to become a more material player in some of those areas?
Tore Svanberg: Understood. And my last question is sort of going back to the opportunities beyond DSPs. So you've talked about having products for AECs.

Speaker #11: areas? Very good
Kishore Seendripu: Very good question, Tore. So I just want to lay out the landscape of the sort of what I call the derivative product roadmap, right? You start with the PAM4 DSP products. And I know LRO is not an analog product. It is a DSP product. So the LROs is a natural derivative. It doesn't take us long to get there, and we will be pursuing that opportunity. And in a short while, we'll have something to show as well. And I think there is some traction because in the marketplace for LROs, because it has legs beyond just one particular speed node, if you will. So with the LPOs, they have limited niche nature to it because the amount of reach that the LPOs can reach is quite constrained and has to be very structured and controlled.
Kishore Seendripu: Very good question, Tore. So I just want to lay out the landscape of the sort of what I call the derivative product roadmap, right? You start with the PAM4 DSP products. And I know LRO is not an analog product. It is a DSP product. So the LROs is a natural derivative. It doesn't take us long to get there, and we will be pursuing that opportunity.

Speaker #2: And I know LRO is not an analog product. It is a DSP product, so the LROs are a natural derivative. It doesn't take us long to get there.
Speaker #2: And we will be pursuing that opportunity, and in a short while, we'll have something to show as well. And I think there is some traction because in the marketplace, where LROs—because it has legs beyond just one particular speed node, if you will—like, so with the LPOs have limited niche nature to it because the amount of reach that the LPOs can reach is quite constrained.
And in a short while, we'll have something to show as well. And I think there is some traction because in the marketplace for LROs, because it has legs beyond just one particular speed node, if you will. So with the LPOs, they have limited niche nature to it because the amount of reach that the LPOs can reach is quite constrained and has to be very structured and controlled.
Speaker #2: And it has to be very structured and controlled. So, I do believe that that is the sequence in which it works out for us, at least.
Kishore Seendripu: So I do believe that that is a sequence in which it works out for us, at least. And I think that the market revenues in LROs grow much stronger as the speeds increase and the power benefits that LROs will deliver. And I think there are some data center people who are beginning to try them out. And then there'll be a follow-through on that. So for us, the next 12 months is a place where we will start taking advantage of the product offerings and do these derivative product offerings.
