• 3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Microchip is one of the better-positioned companies in the semiconductor industry based on its product strength. The company's expanding product portfolio enables it to continuously outperform the broader industry. We believe that the company's impressive third-quarter fiscal 2017 results and positive outlook will help it sustain momentum going ahead. Moreover, acquisitions like that of Atmel are likely to expand its geographical presence, augment customer base, extend product portfolio and supplement operational excellence. We note that the company has outperformed the broader industry in the past one-year. However, high integration costs continue to be a drag on profitability. The semiconductor industry is also intensely competitive and is characterized by price erosion and rapid technological change." (2/10/2017)
