BEARISH
On Nov 6, Evercore ISI cut its price target for Microchip Technology (MCHP) to $75 from $117, keeping an overweight rating but signaling a reassessment of the company’s valuation amid sector headwinds. On the same day, KeyBanc Securities lowered its target to $120 from $135, also maintaining an overweight stance while reflecting a more cautious outlook for MCHP’s near‑term performance. On Nov 5, MCHP reported a 42.2 % rise in fiscal second‑quarter revenue to $1.622 billion, driven by strong industrial and data‑center demand, and adjusted earnings of $0.97 per share beat guidance by $0.04. That day the company also forecast a modest sequential decline for the December quarter due to supply constraints, though it highlighted a higher backlog and orders exceeding shipments. On Nov 5, MCHP’s Q3 2026 results showed revenue of $1.62 billion, up 42.2 % YoY and beating analyst expectations, while adjusted EPS of $0.97 also surpassed consensus; however, the company projected next‑quarter revenue 1.4 % below consensus estimates. The same day, the company released the transcript of its Q2 2026 earnings call, noting no new guidance or material corporate actions.

Earnings Summary
In the most recent fiscal year, Microchip reported Q4 2026 revenue of $1.3112 billion, up 2.1 % sequentially and 42.2 % YoY, with adjusted EPS of $0.57 beating the $0.5154 estimate. The following quarter, Q1 2027, saw revenue of $970.5 million, a 6.4 % decline from Q4 2026, while EPS rose to $0.11 from $0.2 in Q4 2024, reflecting a modest rebound in profitability after a dip in revenue. The company’s Q2 2027 EPS of $0.97 slightly exceeded the $0.9482 estimate, but revenue of $1.6215 billion fell short of the $1.6389 billion forecast, indicating a mixed performance. Historically, Microchip has maintained a steady YoY revenue growth trajectory, with a 42.2 % increase in Q3 2026 and a 42.2 % YoY rise in Q2 2027, while EPS has generally trended upward, beating estimates in three of the last four quarters. Notably, the company has delivered revenue growth even when EPS missed guidance, underscoring resilience in top‑line demand. Recent news highlights include a November 6 cut in price targets by Evercore ISI and KeyBanc Securities amid sector headwinds, yet the company reported a 42.2 % revenue rise in fiscal Q2 2027 driven by industrial and data‑center demand, with adjusted EPS beating guidance by $0.04. The expansion of its PolarFire FPGA and SoC industrial edge stack in early November further supports its industrial edge strategy.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into MCHP?

RICH

At today's price, Microchip Technology Incorporated needs to grow free cash flow about 24.4% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 11.28% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at -13.0% a year, so the market is asking for 37.3 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis MCHP looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

47.3% 85th pct
Below its peak
-29.1%
vs 200-day average
-7.1%
Up days (1y)
47%

Microchip Technology Incorporated is currently running 47.3% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against MCHP's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 85th percentile — elevated for this stock, against a typical reading of 31.6%.

MCHP is trading -29.1% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -25.2%, and the deepest was -47.9% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began, and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -7.1% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 19th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year MCHP closed higher on 47% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a falling streak.

On November specifically: over 13 years of records, MCHP finished the month higher 8 of 13 times, with a median return of +4.0% and an average of +5.3%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +6.0% on average, its weakest March at -3.6%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: MCHP has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 197 of 3,269 sessions (6.0% of the time), with the largest gaps running +9.4% and -7.2%.

All figures computed from 3,270 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against MCHP's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
