Microchip Technology (NASDAQ:MCHP) Bolsa, Informe de interés en corto

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.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Microchip Technology has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Microchip Technology's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Microchip Technology's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.63%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Why Are Chip Stocks Trading Lower On Monday?

Microchip Technology shares are trading lower after multiple firms cut their respective price targets on the stock.

Microchip Technology Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>) reported upbeat earnings for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MCHP/earnings">second quarter on Tuesday.</a>
The company posted quarterly earnings of 46 cents per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 43 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $1.164 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.152 billion.
&#8220;Our September quarter results were consistent with our guidance, as we continued to navigate through an inventory correction that&#8217;s occurring in the midst of macro weakness for many manufacturing businesses, accentuated by heightened weakness in our European business which is concentrated with Industrial and Automotive customers,&#8221; said Ganesh Moorthy, President and Chief Executive Officer. &#8220;The &#8216;green shoots&#8217; we saw in recent quarters have progressed unevenly with essentially flat sequential bookings, normalized cancellation rates and much higher expedite requests, which we believe are all positive signs for a potential bottom formation despite limited visibility.&#8221;
Microchip said it sees third-quarter adjusted earnings of 29 cents to 32 cents per share on net sales of $1.025 billion to $1.095 billion.
Microchip shares fell 1.8% to trade at $73.76 on Wednesday.
These analysts made changes to their price targets on Microchip following earnings announcement.
<ul>
<li>Needham analyst Quinn Bolton maintained Microchip Technology with a Buy and lowered the price target from $96 to $85.</li>
<li>Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar maintained the stock with an Overweight and lowered the price target from $100 to $85.</li>
<li>Keybanc analyst Weston Twigg maintained Microchip with an Overweight and lowered the price target from $100 to $95.</li>

<h2>Unveiling the Story Behind Microchip Technology</h2>
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.
<h3>Breaking Down Microchip Technology's Financial Performance</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization reflects a smaller scale relative to peers. This could be attributed to factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.
Revenue Challenges: Microchip Technology's revenue growth over 3 months faced difficulties. As of 30 June, 2024, the company experienced a decline of approximately -45.76%. This indicates a decrease in top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Information Technology sector.
Net Margin: The company's net margin is a standout performer, exceeding industry averages. With an impressive net margin of 10.42%, the company showcases strong profitability and effective cost control.
Return on Equity (ROE): Microchip Technology's ROE lags behind industry averages, suggesting challenges in maximizing returns on equity capital. With an ROE of 1.98%, the company may face hurdles in achieving optimal financial performance.
Return on Assets (ROA): Microchip Technology's ROA lags behind industry averages, suggesting challenges in maximizing returns from its assets. With an ROA of 0.82%, the company may face hurdles in achieving optimal financial performance.
Debt Management: Microchip Technology's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 0.97. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Analysts may enhance their evaluations by incorporating forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, delivering additional guidance to investors. It is vital to acknowledge that, although experts in stocks and sectors, analysts are human and express their opinions when providing insights.
