The QuickLogic Thesis: FPGAs are used in a wide variety of applications and the market for these is not "well established," Richard said in the initiation note.

QuickLogic's niche hardware and critical infrastructure are used by that segment of the aerospace and defense market that is underserved by leading companies like Intel Corp INTC, Advanced Micro Devices Inc AMD and Lattice Semiconductor Corp LSCC, he added.

"With the start of a new cold war, military spending is increasing, and space defense budgets are increasing where radiation hardening, and a secure supply chain are required," the analyst wrote.

QuickLogic’s serviceable addressable market is estimated at $422 million and is likely to expand at a CAGR of 9%, he further stated.
