Since that time, it has increased quarterly revenue from less than $5 million to nearly $20 million in the most recent quarter ended June 30, 2003. It also is on track to report its first full year of profitability after three straight years of substantial losses.

Price talk for MP3 chip designer SigmaTel moves to $14-$15
9/18/2003
In what is expected to be one of the hottest IPOs of the year, the price talk for advanced audio semiconductor designer SigmaTel (SGTL) moved to $14-$15 on Thursday, just hours before the official pricing is expected to be announced. That compares to an official range of $11-$13, which was already above an original filing range of $9-$11 that was set back in August. SigmaTel is getting lots of attention since it is the leading supplier of chips for portable MP3 players, products that have been selling like hot cakes around the world and should be big sellers this holiday season. While the company did not yet disclose the higher pricing range in an SEC filing, the price talk indicates where the underwriter is likely to price the deal, which in this case will probably be $15 per share. Merrill Lynch is the lead underwriter on the deal, which is expected to price tonight and open for trading on Friday on the Nasdaq. The company still plans to issue 10 million shares.
