Microchip Technology Incorporated Stock Price and EPS Surprise
Let us see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement:
Key Factors to Note for MCHP’s Q4
MCHP’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results are likely to reflect improving inventory levels, which reached 266 days in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up 19 days sequentially. At mid-point of the revenue guidance, Microchip expects inventory days and inventory in terms of dollars to decrease sequentially.
Microchip has been suffering from persistent macroeconomic weakness and limited visibility, particularly in the industrial and automotive markets. Nevertheless, the company benefits from a diverse product portfolio and ongoing expansion into megatrends (Edge Computing/IoT, Data Centers, AI/ML, E-Mobility, Sustainability, Networking/Connectivity).
Microchip’s planned restructuring includes a corporate-wide layoff in early March, driving increased savings from operational activity.
However, operating expenses are expected to have increased in the fiscal fourth quarter, which was pegged in the 37.7%-40.5% of sales range (compared with 34.9% of net sales in the fiscal third quarter). The company is also expected to incur charges worth $45 million related to the cancellation of certain long-term agreements, which is expected to have hurt the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.
What Our Model Says
Per the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. That is the exact case here.
Microchip has an Earnings ESP of +8.03% and a Zacks Rank #3. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
