MaxLinear, Inc. (MXL)

MaxLinear's stock has experienced significant movements in the past six months. As of October 23, 2025, the stock saw a 54% price increase over the preceding six months, though it also exhibits high volatility with a beta of 1.77. Following its Q3 2025 earnings announcement on October 23, 2025, MaxLinear's stock rose by 4.35% in aftermarket trading after surpassing analyst expectations. However, the stock also experienced a significant 12% decline around October 24, 2025, due to uncertainties surrounding an ongoing arbitration with Silicon Motion (SIMO).

MaxLinear's Q4 2025 guidance indicates some demand seasonality in its product segments. The company expects to see "seasonal moderation in broadband and connectivity coming down from Q3", which is anticipated to be offset by expected growth from the infrastructure and industrial multi-market segments.
