Cirrus Logic is expected to report declining earnings and revenues for Q3 2026, with a negative Earnings ESP of -0.82% and Zacks Rank #5, making an earnings beat unlikely.

Lattice Semiconductor is expected to report Q3 2026 earnings of $0.55 per share (up 96.4% YoY) and revenues of $255.13 million (up 91.3% YoY) on November 2.
