It may not have been easy to hold on to ADI for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today?Analog Devices' Business In-DepthWith that in mind, let's take a look at Analog Devices' main business drivers.

For Analog Devices, if you bought shares a decade ago, you're likely feeling really good about your investment today.According to our calculations, a $1000 investment made in March 2013 would be worth $4,177.46, or a gain of 317.75%, as of March 31, 2023, and this return excludes dividends but includes price increases.In comparison, the S&P 500 gained 158.15% and the price of gold went up 19.23% over the same time frame.Analysts are forecasting more upside for ADI too. Analog Devices posted fiscal first quarter results wherein both earnings and revenues grew year over year. Strength across communication, consumer, industrial and automotive end-markets drove the results. Solid demand for high-performance analog as well as mixed signal solutions was a tailwind. Strong momentum across the electric vehicle space on the back of robust Battery Management System solutions remains a positive. Further, growing power design wins are other positives. Solid momentum of HEV platform across cabin electronics ecosystem remains a tailwind. Considering the abovementioned factors, we expect second-quarter fiscal 2023 total revenue to rise 4.9% year over year. However, pandemic induced supply-chain constraints are concerns. Further, geopolitical tensions led by Russia-Ukraine war are major overhangs. Over the past four weeks, shares have rallied 5.21%, and there have been 13 higher earnings estimate revisions in the past two months for fiscal 2023 compared to none lower. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.
