# Diodes Incorporated

> Diodes Incorporated is a Plano-based public semiconductor manufacturer that sells more than 28,000 analog, power, discrete, logic, timing and connectivity products to over 50,000 customers. Its advantage is breadth plus a hybrid manufacturing model: own enough fabrication, assembly and test capacity to control quality and cost, while retaining external supply flexibility. After a 2024 industry correction exposed the fixed-cost downside of that model, revenue recovered to $1.482 billion in 2025 and reached $445.5 million in the second quarter of 2026; a proposed $250 million ElevATE Semiconductor acquisition would add automated-test-equipment ICs.
