BofA analyst Vivek Arya upgraded Microchip (MCHP) to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $95, up from $78. Driven by industrial inventory replenishment, emerging growth in data center power, connectivity and aero, and defense markets as well as automotive content gains, less-crowded analog stocks “can reenergize,” the analyst tells investors. Microchip is trading at a premium multiple, but the firm sees significant headroom for earnings upgrades since its raised calendar year 2027 sales forecast of $7B is below the company’s prior $8B-plus peak, the analyst added. The firm raised its Microchip calendar 2026 and 2027 EPS estimates by 8% and 13% to $2.36 and $3.10, respectively.
