Xilinx Inc's Profitability & Cost Structure
Trailing 12-month margins from SEC-filed financials. Operating margin is compared to the Semiconductors industry median; gross margin, EBITDA margin and capital intensity are compared to the live industry average (151 companies).| Metric | Company | Industry | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gross Margin | 68.39 % | 34.40 % (avg) | +34.0 pp |
| Operating Margin | 26.39 % | industry median | +17.4 pp |
| EBITDA Margin | 32.81 % | 7.07 % (avg) | +25.7 pp |
| Capital Intensity (Capex / Revenue) | 1.54 % | 9.39 % (avg) | -7.9 pp |
Source: CSIMarket API, trailing 12 months. SG&A and R&D as a share of revenue have limited coverage as this data is backfilled and appear only where reported. Higher capital intensity is not inherently negative; it reflects the industry's asset requirements.
Xilinx Inc's Valuation vs Competitive Position
Valuation multiples vs the Semiconductors industry average (151 companies, excluding loss-making/negative-equity outliers), alongside returns on capital for context on whether a premium or discount lines up with measurably stronger or weaker returns.| Metric | Company | Industry Average | Difference |

| P/E | 55.5x | 43.3x | +12.2x |
| EV / EBITDA | 41.8x | 22.7x | +19.1x |

| Return on Invested Capital | 11.36 % | -0.16 % (avg) | 11.52 % |

Xilinx Inc's Competitive Forces (Porter's Five Forces)
Only the forces this data can support honestly are shown; the other three are marked as such rather than guessed.| Force | Assessment | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Barriers to Entry | Lower than typical for the industry | Capital intensity (capex / revenue) of 1.54 % vs industry average 9.39 % (see Profitability & Cost Structure above) |
| Supplier Power | Not covered on this page | See Xilinx Inc's dedicated suppliers page for concentration and dependency data |
| Buyer Power | Not covered on this page | See Xilinx Inc's dedicated customers page for concentration and dependency data |
| Threat of Substitutes | - | No systematic data source for cross-product substitution exists in this system; not estimated |
Note: this is a partial, data-grounded application of the framework, not a complete strategic assessment. Rivalry and barriers-to-entry readings are mechanical translations of the HHI and capital-intensity figures shown elsewhere on this page, not independent judgments.
Xilinx Inc's Industry Attractiveness & Competitive Strength
A CSIMarket composite, not a standard field: each axis is an equal-weighted average of three factors already shown elsewhere on this page (industry growth, industry profitability and rivalry for attractiveness; relative market share, profitability and growth vs industry for strength). Disclosed as a designed methodology, not a precision measurement.
Xilinx Inc falls in the Low attractiveness / High strength cell: Selective.
Source: CSIMarket API, trailing 12 months. Each axis score is a simple 1(low)/2(medium)/3(high) average across its three inputs -- a transparent, disclosed simplification, not a validated academic scoring model.
Xilinx Inc's SWOT
Every point below is a fixed rule applied to a metric already shown elsewhere on this page (Market Structure, Profitability, Valuation, Run-Rate, Stock Performance, Quality Breadth) not an independent strategic assessment. A blank quadrant means no rule was met, not that none apply.Strengths
- Operating margin 17.4 points above the industry median.
- Latest-quarter revenue run-rate is accelerating (+10.0% annualized vs trailing 12 months).
Weaknesses
No rule matched.
Opportunities
- Industry revenue growing at a healthy 10.3% median pace.
Threats
- Tracked peer group's revenue run-rate is broadly decelerating (-18.5% annualized).
Methodology: mechanical, rule-based SWOT. Each bullet reuses a figure already sourced and cited elsewhere on this page; nothing here is generated narrative or independent analyst judgment.
