Analog Devices
(ticker: ADI) reported adjusted earnings of $2.83 a share for the April quarter, up 18% from the same period a year earlier. Quarterly revenue was $3.26 billion, up 10%.

The company said that for the third quarter of its fiscal year it expects adjusted earnings of between $2.42 and $2.62 a share and revenue of between $3 billion and $3.2 billion.
