Microchip Technology (NASDAQ:MCHP) Azioni

MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INC

Microchip Technology

Microchip Technology became an independent company in 1989 when it was spun off from General Instrument. More than half of revenue comes from MCUs, which are used in a wide array of electronic devices from remote controls to garage door openers to power windows in autos. The company's strength lies in lower-end 8-bit MCUs that are suitable for a wider range of less technologically advanced devices, but the firm has expanded its presence in higher-end MCUs and analog chips as well.

Powering this surge are tech juggernauts like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which soared nearly 40%, and Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), up over 20% in the same period. 
With investor enthusiasm running hot, QQQ now trades at $520.20, reflecting both momentum and mania.

Technically, the trend remains strongly bullish. QQQ trades above its five, 20, and 50-day exponential moving averages, while its eight-day simple moving average (SMA) of $514.13, 20-day SMA of $492.02, and 50-day SMA of $474.66 all flash bullish signals. 
Even the longer-term 200-day SMA sits well below at $493.11, underscoring the ETF&#8217;s sharp upward break. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reading of 14.66 and a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 70.17 confirm that QQQ is in overbought territory.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Caution: Euphoria Zone Ahead</h2>
While bulls are firmly in control, QQQ's RSI suggests we may be entering euphoria territory, where rallies can exhaust themselves. 
With many of the big names already logging massive gains, investors now face the classic question: Is this the breakout before a breather, or the setup for a sharper reversal?

Shares of semiconductor and chip stocks are trading higher as investors assess US-China trade progress and Saudi Arabia deals.

Wall Street staged a robust rally Monday following the U.S.-China trade truce that slashed reciprocal tariffs by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">over 100 percentage points</a>.
By midday, risk-on sentiment was running at full throttle, propelling the Nasdaq 100 up 3.5% and lifting the S&amp;P 500 by 2.7% to 5,815.43—its highest level since March. The Dow Jones surged 958 points, or 2.3%, while the small-cap Russell 2000 added 3%.
Under the 90-day reprieve, the U.S. will cut tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%. China, in turn, will lower its tariffs on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%, effective May 14. The two countries also agreed to launch a formal mechanism for ongoing economic consultations, easing fears of a permanent decoupling.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the agreement followed "very robust discussions" in Geneva

Sector-wise, chipmakers led the rally, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) jumping 7.2%. Marvell Technology Inc.

While equities soared, gold suffered its worst day since Trump's election victory in November 2024. Gold prices dropped 3%, falling below $3,230 per ounce, as investors rotated out of safe havens and into risk assets.
The U.S. dollar index surged 1.3% to 101.8. The short-end of the curve also jumped, driven by fading expectations for near-term Fed rate cuts, with 2-year yields up 10 basis points to 4.0%. Yields on 30-year Treasury bonds climbed to 4.87%,
Oil prices rose 2% to $62.30 per barrel, reaching their highest level since late April amid hopes of a demand boost from improved global trade conditions.

Magnificent Seven Gain $700B After US-China Slash Tariffs, Gold Crashes: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Shares of chip stocks are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate some supply chain concerns and improve macro sentiment as well as demand visibility.

The United States and China agreed to slash their retaliatory tariffs by over 100 percentage points, pausing a spiraling trade war that had threatened<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s"> to choke global growth.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's In The Deal?</h3>
The agreement establishes a 90-day reset, slashing U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, and Chinese tariffs on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%, starting May 14. 
The decision stems from high-level negotiations in Geneva, led by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and China's Vice Premier He Lifeng.
The truce halts one of the steepest protectionist escalations in recent history, following President Donald Trump's aggressive "Liberation Day" trade tariffs launched on April 2.
"We reached an agreement on a 90-day pause and substantially moved down the tariff levels," Bessent said in a press conference. 
"Both countries represented their national interests very well, but we concluded we have shared interest in balanced trade."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Truce Cools Recession And Inflation Risks</h3>
The tariff rollback offers more than diplomatic relief — it also addresses growing fears of a U.S. economic slowdown and resurgent inflation. By averting the triple-digit import taxes that threatened to choke global trade, the deal removes a significant source of economic uncertainty that had weighed on business investment and consumer confidence.
Recession probabilities have sharply declined in response. 
The latest market-based forecast from Kalshi shows a 46% chance of a U.S. recession this year, down from 60% at the end of April, reflecting improving sentiment. Notably, consumer spending and corporate earnings had begun showing early signs of strain under the tariff shock imposed in April.
On the inflation front, the agreement is expected to ease price pressures on goods most impacted by the trade war — including electronics, automotive parts and industrial equipment.
Ahead of Tuesday's official April Consumer Price Index report, economists expect a return to monthly inflation growth: headline prices are forecast to rise 0.3%, reversing March's 0.1% dip. Core inflation is also expected to rise 0.3%, while annual inflation rates are seen holding steady at 2.4% for headline and 2.8% for core.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Markets Cheered</h3>
U.S. equity futures soared as the news hit, with futures on the S&amp;P 500 climbing 3.13% to 5,836.66, those on the Nasdaq 100 jumping 4.05%, and Dow futures up 2.62%. 
The U.S. dollar index – as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – surged 1.4%, with the greenback rallying 2% against the Japanese yen. 
Meanwhile, 2-year Treasury yields rose 10 basis points to 4%, as traders dialed back expectations for a near-term Federal Reserve rate cut. The odds of a June cut fell to 11%, down from 25% a week ago, per CME FedWatch.
Gold – as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – dropped 2.9%, with investors rotating out of safe havens, and oil climbed 3.9% to $63.40 amid improving global demand prospects.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who Wins On Wall Street?</h3>
U.S. equities rallied sharply as investors welcomed the truce between Washington and Beijing. 
Trade-sensitive and consumer-facing stocks led the premarket advance, reflecting relief over lower input costs and reduced supply chain disruption. Technology and industrials also posted notable gains.

UBS analyst Pradeep Ramani maintains Microchip Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $55 to $60.

UBS Maintains Buy on Microchip Technology, Raises Price Target to $60

Wall Street traded slightly lower by midday Friday, as investors adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of a potential trade breakthrough, with high-stakes negotiations between U.S. officials—led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—and Chinese authorities set to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">unfold over the weekend.</a>
President Donald Trump signaled that tariffs on Chinese goods could be slashed from the current 145% to 80%, though that figure remains significantly higher than pre-Liberation Day levels, prompting continued caution among market participants.
Equities gave back a portion of Thursday's gains as sentiment turned more defensive, while gold rebounded 1% to $3,330 per ounce, partially offsetting losses from the previous session.
Oil prices extended their rally, climbing further above $60 a barrel amid an improved global demand outlook, putting crude on track for its strongest weekly performance since late 2024. Natural gas followed suit, with Henry Hub futures rising 4.4%.
In fixed income, Treasury yields held steady, with the 10-year yield hovering around 4.37%.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) took a breather after Thursday's 6.4% surge, trading just above $102,500.

Microchip Technology Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Friday after the company reported fourth-quarter&nbsp;results <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45300085/microchip-technology-announces-financial-results-for-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">after Thursday&#8217;s closing bell</a>.
Revenue fell 26.8% year over year (Y/Y)&nbsp;to $970.5 million, beating the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$962.8 million.
In the quarter, the company achieved a book-to-bill ratio greater than one for the first time in almost three years.
Furthermore, the company stated that bookings in April surpassed the levels of any single month within that March quarter.
Adjusted EPS of&nbsp;11 cents was in line with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate</a>.

The company returned $1.066 billion to shareholders in the year through dividends and share repurchases.
Steve Sanghi, Microchip&#8217;s CEO and president said, &#8220;The decisive actions we have taken under our nine-point-plan are enhancing our operational capabilities through more efficient manufacturing, improving inventory management, and a renewed strategic focus.&#8221;
&#8220;A key highlight this quarter has been our inventory reduction strategy, with overall inventory dollars down $62.8 million, distribution inventory days reduced by 4 days to 33 days, and inventory days on our balance sheet decreased by 15 days from levels at December 31, 2024. We expect even more substantial inventory reduction in the June quarter as our manufacturing optimization actions are near completion.&#8221;
Eric Bjornholt, Microchip&#8217;s Chief Financial Officer, added, &#8220;During the quarter, we executed multiple financial actions that strengthened our balance sheet. These included reducing our total net debt by roughly $1.30 billion with a mandatory convertible preferred offering. We also amended and extended our revolving line of credit with more favorable terms and financial flexibility.&#8221;
Outlook:&nbsp;Microchip sees&nbsp;first-quarter adjusted EPS of&nbsp;18 to 26&nbsp;cents vs.&nbsp;consensus of 16&nbsp;cents and sales of&nbsp;$1.020 billion to $1.070 billion&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">vs.&nbsp;street view of $987.62 million</a>.
