GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

Applied Micro Circuits Corporation was incorporated and commenced operations in California in 1979. It was reincorporated in Delaware in 1987. The Company provides semiconductor solutions for the enterprise, telecom and consumer/small medium business (SMB) markets. It designs, develops, markets and supports high-performance low power integrated circuits (ICs), which are essential for the processing, transporting and storing of information worldwide. The Company's business had two reporting units, computing and Connectivity (formerly referred to as 'Process' and 'Transport', respectively).Under computing unit, the Company is continuing to develop products based on the Power Architecture. This standard processor architecture, developed by IBM, is the architecture within the communications market for high-performance embedded systems. Many of its customers' products require embedded processing solutions for managing control plane and data plane functionality. The Company's Connectivity technology product's historical focus has been on the SONET/SDH optical telecommunications infrastructure where it is vendor. Currently, its connectivity products sell into both the telecom/service provider and datacom/data center markets. In the service provider end market, emerging metro Ethernet and residential triple play applications such as internet protocol television ('IPTV') and OTN deployments are driving substantial investments in optical infrastructure. The Company utilizes its technological and design competencies to solve the problems of high-speed analog, digital and mixed-signal circuit designs, high performance processors that combine to provide many essential products for the transporting and processing of information worldwide. The Company mainly competes against companies such as Broadcom, PMC-Sierra, Cortina and Vitesse. In the embedded computing communications IC market, it competes with technology companies such as Freescale Semiconductor, Cavium and Intel. . It is subject to a variety of federal, state and local governmental regulations related to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous chemicals that were used in its manufacturing process.
