What are Wall Street analysts saying about Monolithic Power Systems stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Monolithic Power Systems stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Monolithic designs, develops and markets high-performance power solutions. The company generates majority of revenues from a limited number of customers. Customer concentration lowers the company’s ability to hike price, which is a major concern. Further, intensifying competition from peers is expected to keep profitability under pressure in the near-term. Moreover, lack of geographic diversity in terms of end-customers is a significant headwind. However, robust demand in high-end consumer markets, including the likes of IoT based products, lighting and home appliances, is growth drivers. Higher dollar content in new servers based on Purley platform is expected to drive top-line growth. Notably, the stock has outperformed the industry in the past one year." (10/8/2018)
- 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We attended MPS’ analyst day yesterday at which management provided an upbeat outlook for its future growth drivers and tightened 2Q18 guidance to the upper-end of the previous range. Should the company hit management’s long term target revenue growth (20%+) and operating model, revenue and NG OM could reach $1bn and 36%, respectively, by 2021. The presentations highlighted the growth opportunities in its compute power and battery management solutions as well as significant growth in the Automotive segment.
