Pixelworks' price target has been lowered to $10 from $12 by Roth Capital analyst Suji Desilva, who maintains a Buy rating on the shares. The company reported seasonal Q2 growth and guided for continued growth into the second half, driven by home/enterprise and an incremental transcoding opportunity.

Pixelworks Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW) has seen its price target lowered to $10 by Roth Capital analyst Sujeeva De Silva, who maintains a Buy rating on the shares. The company reported seasonal Q2 growth and guided for continued growth into the second half, driven by home/enterprise and an incremental transcoding opportunity.

De Silva's adjusted price target reflects the company's recent financial performance and future prospects. The analyst cited the company's innovative video processing solutions, such as TrueCut Motion™ technology, as a key driver for future revenue growth. De Silva expects earnings to improve in the coming quarters, citing advancements in core technologies and strategic partnerships [1].

Pixelworks' earnings report showed a slight improvement in revenue compared to the previous quarter, though the net loss remained substantial. The company's earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was -$1.08, which beat the analysts' consensus estimate of -$1.32 by $0.24 [1].

The insider sentiment for PXLW is negative, with 13 insiders selling shares in the past quarter. This could indicate a lack of confidence in the company's current performance or future prospects. However, insider selling does not always correlate with a negative stock price movement, and it's essential to consider other factors when evaluating the stock [2].

Pixelworks has scheduled its Q2 2025 financial results announcement for Tuesday, August 12, 2025, after market close. The company will host a conference call at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) featuring CEO Todd DeBonis and CFO Haley Aman [2].

While Pixelworks' earnings report showed a slight improvement in revenue, the company still faces significant challenges, including substantial net losses and negative insider sentiment. However, the positive analyst rating from De Silva provides a glimmer of hope for investors, with expectations for future earnings growth driven by innovative technology and strategic partnerships.
