What are Wall Street analysts saying about Microchip Technology stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Microchip Technology stock:
- 1. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We reiterate our Buy rating for MCHP with a $115 price target which remains unchanged." (8/7/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Microchip is benefiting from robust demand for 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers. Microchip also rides on strong demand for memory and analog and interface products. We believe that Microchip's expanding portfolio driven by new product roll outs will continue to expand customer base. Moreover, the company is well poised to capitalize on synergies from accretive Microsemi and Amtel acquisitions. However, Microchip is bearing the brunt of increasing lead time, slim demand trends in ZTE and Bitcoin business domains. Further, significant exposure to Asian markets amid imposition of tariff owing to trade war between the US and China is likely to weigh on margin expansion. Additionally, significant debt burden amid increasing expenses on product development remain major concerns." (7/25/2019)
- 3. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "MCHP reported strong 2Q19 results driven by growth across all segments. MCHP is doing a good job of integrating Microsemi and forecasts $8 of EPS in FY20. Unsurprisingly, there’s a temporary pause in auto due to the transition to the new emission standards in Europe and softness in China. While uncertainty still exists around the Chinese tariffs, MCHP has reduced MSCC and internal inventory to managed levels. We see growth drivers in Aerospace/Defense, continued synergies from MSCC and de-leveraging. With the stock down 20% YTD, we believe the shares are discounting much of this uncertainty." (11/8/2018)
