GuruFocus Financial Strength Rank measures how strong a companyย’s financial situation is. It is based on these factors

1. The debt burden that the company has as measured by its Interest coverage (current year).
2. Debt to revenue ratio. The lower, the better
3. Altman Z-score.

A company ranks high with financial strength is likely to withstand any business slowdowns and recessions.

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

Volterra Semiconductor Corp. was incorporated in Delaware in the year 1996. The company designs, develops, and markets proprietary, high-performance analog and mixed-signal power management semiconductors for the computing, storage, networking, and consumer markets. The company's products are integrated voltage regulator semiconductors and scalable voltage regulator semiconductor chipsets that transform, regulate, deliver, and monitor the power consumed by digital semiconductors. Through its proprietary power system architecture and mixed-signal design techniques, it has integrated power, analog, and digital circuits onto a single complementary metal oxide silicon semiconductor, thereby eliminating the need for a large number of discrete components required by conventional power management solutions. The company's analog and mixed signal power management semiconductor products are mainly used in applications that require peak voltage regulating performance, such as data networking equipment, desktop and notebook computers, digital televisions, digital video recorders, game consoles, enterprise storage equipment, graphics cards, hard disk drives, printers, raid cards, servers, telecommunications equipment, base stations and workstations. It offers integrated voltage regulator semiconductors, which include its VT100, VT200, and VT300 products, and scalable voltage regulator semiconductor chipsets, which includes its VT1000 and VT1300 products. The company classifies its product families by specifications such as input voltage and output voltage, both measured in Volts, and maximum current, measured in Amperes. It continually develops new products and new generations and versions of its existing products to improve product performance and features while reducing system cost and size. It sells its products mainly to original equipment manufacturers, original design manufacturers, contract equipment manufacturers, and merchant power supply manufacturers, directly through its internal sales force and indirectly through distributors and outsourced suppliers.
