Microchip’s Strong Market Position and Positive Momentum Drive Buy Rating

Analyst Christopher Danely of Citi reiterated a Buy rating on Microchip (MCHP – Research Report), retaining the price target of $55.00.

Christopher Danely has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that indicate positive momentum for Microchip. The company recently increased its revenue guidance for the June quarter, showing stronger-than-expected bookings, which suggests robust demand. This adjustment marks the highest sequential revenue growth within the coverage, highlighting Microchip’s strong market position.
Additionally, Danely notes that the positive pre-announcement from Microchip is a sign of recovery in the analog semiconductor sector. Despite potential short-term slowdowns due to tariff-related factors, the long-term outlook remains optimistic. Danely expects Microchip to achieve the highest EPS growth once the economic conditions stabilize, supported by the company’s strategic restructuring and revenue recovery efforts. The Buy rating is reiterated with a target price reflecting a premium over peers, driven by the anticipation of improved earnings.

In another report released on May 14, Argus Research also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $75.00 price target.
