Dsp Group Inc's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
Similar principal competitive factors affect the Home Automation (DECT ULE) market. An additional competitive factor relating to this market is that we are a newcomer in this market, and this market already has a number of dominant, well-established companies with significant existing market shares. We also believe that we are competitive with respect to most of these factors. Our principal competitors are developers of different wireless home automation technologies, including Analog, Z-wave and Zigbee. Among those, the major competitors for digital home connectivity are Microchip Technology, NXP, Texas Instruments, Sigma Designs (connectivity business in the process of being acquired by Silicon Labs) and Silicon Labs.
Similar principal competitive factors affect the smart audio and noise reduction market. Competitors in this market include Audience (acquired by Knowles Corporation), Cirrus Logic, Conexant (recently acquired by Synaptics) and developers of noise cancellation software running on mobile phones such as NXP and ForteMedia. In addition, there could be a growing trend of our potential and existing customers moving to in-house designs which would make our technologies and products obsolete.

Dsp Group 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.
Dsp Group Inc falls in the Low attractiveness / Medium strength cell: Harvest.

Dsp Group 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
- Latest-quarter revenue run-rate is accelerating (+9.4% annualized vs trailing 12 months).
Weaknesses
- Operating margin 9.8 points below the industry median.
- Return on equity 26.7 points below the industry aggregate.
Opportunities
- Industry revenue growing at a healthy 10.3% median pace.
Threats
- Tracked peer group's revenue run-rate is broadly decelerating (-14.8% annualized).
