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.

President Donald Trump has set up a new body within the Commerce Department to manage the CHIPS and Science Act, 2022. 
What Happened: A new entity, the United States Investment Accelerator within the Commerce Department, will now oversee the CHIPS Act program, as established by an executive order signed by Trump on Monday.
Despite Trump&#8217;s past criticism of the bipartisan legislation, the White House said in its fact sheet that the new office will focus on &#8220;negotiating much better CHIPS Act deals&#8221; and streamlining investment processes through reduced regulatory burdens and faster permitting.
According to the <a href="https://www.semiconductors.org/chip-supply-chain-investments/">Semiconductor Industry Association</a>, the CHIPS Program has granted awards worth $32.5417 billion and provided loans up to $5.85 billion to 32 companies across 23 states. 
However, the new entity — Investment Accelerator that will be controlling the CHIPS Act, not only plans to expedite corporate investments but promises to deliver &#8221; the benefit of the bargain for taxpayers,&#8221; as per the Whit House fact sheet.
Other primary goals of the body include;
<ul>
<li>Reducing regulatory burdens</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Speeding up permitting;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Coordinating responses to investor issues across multiple Federal agencies; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Increasing access to national resources;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Facilitating collaboration with national laboratories; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Working with all 50 state governments and their economic development organizations.</li>
</ul>
Here are the U.S.-listed beneficiaries that have received grants under the CHIPS and Science Act, 2022 in the past.

Why It Matters: Trump has been vocal about his criticism of the CHIPS Act. On March 4, during his joint address to Congress, he said, &#8220;Your Chips Act is a horrible, horrible thing.&#8221;
He also urged U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to &#8220;get rid&#8221; of it and use &#8220;whatever is left over&#8221; to &#8220;reduce debt or any other reason you want to.&#8221;
However, the White House&#8217;s new plan has passed on the management of the act to the new entity. Since his time in office, Trump has been able to convince companies to invest in the U.S.
In early March, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE: TSM revealed its plans to inject another $100 billion into U.S. advanced semiconductor manufacturing, significantly expanding its ongoing $65 billion Arizona initiative and bringing total investment to $165 billion.
Similarly, the Magnificent 7 companies are widely expected to spend more than $330 billion on capex in 2025. While the chipmaker Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) hasn't explicitly mentioned a target during its earnings call, the iPhone maker Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) broadly expects to spend $500 billion over the next four years. The remaining companies, however, have provided a specific target for 2025.

What's Going On Microchip Technology Stock Premarket on Thursday?

U.S. stock futures declined on Thursday following the Federal Open Market Committee&#8217;s (FOMC) decision on Wednesday. Futures of all four benchmark indices were lower in premarket trading.
On Wednesday, the stocks advanced after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell announced that the inflation caused by President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs would be &#8220;transitory&#8221; in nature. Furthermore, the &#8220;dot plot&#8221; projected two rate cuts in 2025, maintaining the Fed&#8217;s initial forecast.
The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.22%, while the two-year yield was at 3.97%. According <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">to</a> the CME Group's FedWatch tool, there is an 82.6% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep the interest rates unchanged during its May meeting.

Cues From The Last Session
Energy, technology, and consumer discretionary sectors led a broad rally on Wednesday, propelling the S&amp;P 500 index. This surge occurred alongside the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to maintain interest rates.
Despite projecting two 2025 rate cuts, the Fed&#8217;s dot plot now signals lower growth and higher inflation, sparking stagflation worries.
Notably, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) rebounded 1.8% after its CEO&#8217;s address, and Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) soared nearly 7% on delivery and cash flow improvement plans. Meanwhile, mortgage applications declined, but all S&amp;P 500 sectors closed positively.
As of Wednesday, the Nasdaq 100 remains in correction territory, having fallen 11.19% from its prior peak. Similarly, the Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500 have dropped 6.70% and 7.68%, respectively, from their 52-week highs.

Insights From Analysts
Market volatility, driven by tariff uncertainties and federal job cuts, has created a buying opportunity, according to Scott Wren, Senior Global Market Strategist. &#8220;The pullback in equities offers an opportunity,&#8221; he said.
Despite recent market pullbacks, Wren advises shifting from bonds to equities. He argues that while tariffs and job cuts introduce costs, their impact on the overall economy, particularly the likelihood of a recession, is minimal.
Tariffs, while causing localized price increases, won&#8217;t uniformly affect U.S. firms, and federal layoffs represent a small portion of the labor market, with historical data suggesting displaced workers find alternative employment. Wren also notes that tariff revenue and federal budget savings tend to be limited.
He added that strong labor market fundamentals and healthy household finances support continued consumer spending, mitigating recession risks. &#8220;We think the economy will grow a little more slowly than in 2024, but the consumer and the labor market look more like their averages of the past 15 years than a prelude to a recession,&#8221; he said.
Mohamed El-Erian, a prominent economist, criticized the Federal Reserve&#8217;s recent communication, citing their past error in labeling inflation as &#8220;transitory.&#8221; He believes the Fed should be more cautious, especially given their previous misjudgment and current economic uncertainties.
