Why Lattice Semi (LSCC) plunged despite a double beat – Crypto News

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (LSCC), a leader in low-power programmable logic solutions, reported earnings after the market closed on Monday. The company delivered a double beat, narrowly surpassing expectations on both earnings per share (by 0.55%) and revenue (by 0.25%). Despite this success and an increase in forward guidance, the stock initially plunged in after-hours trading, hitting a low of $65.00 before recovering overnight to stabilize in the $72 range.

So, why the immediate sell-off after a beat? The primary catalysts for the dip were two-fold: a decline in GAAP profit and investor disappointment that the Q4 guidance, while showing growth, was not aggressive enough to meet the market’s high expectations.

Zooming out to the charts, LSCC put in a significant daily topping tail at $76.61 back on September 23rd. Price has been contained beneath that exact level ever since. To the upside, this is the immediate resistance and the critical level that bulls must conquer. Should price break and hold above $76.61, the next major resistance target comes into play at $84.69. Considering that LSCC has broken out of a declining parallel and spent the last few months consolidating—even with the prior topping tail—the price action has demonstrated impressive resilience. The momentum gained from this recent consolidation phase could be precisely what’s needed to push the stock to that next higher level.

However, if this bullish momentum fails to materialize or hold, the first key support level lies at $65.08. This is the level that was tagged during the initial after-hours sell-off. A daily confirmed break below $65.08 would effectively negate the current bullish pattern. Should that occur, we would look toward the next support at $61.52, a level where LSCC could potentially rebuild the necessary foundation for its next sustained rally.
