Fabless semiconductor company Cirrus Logic, Inc. (CRUS) develops mixed-signal processing solutions, but its stock performance is anything but mixed – it’s thriving – especially over time.
Cirrus Logic is growing and it’s showing up in earnings performance. In February, the company began a partnership with other tech companies on a new computer design that will use its high-performance audio and power technologies.
