There's no great short thesis on this company, as overall it's a pretty solid company. Just think it is overvalued vs the next couple years of expectations, and competition is always getting fiercer. Analog chips offer a buffer in downturns vs commodity chips, no doubt. But MCHP's end markets are among the worst you can have, automobiles, appliances, and other electronics. Not exactly a growth area to say the least. This companies revenues have been getting hit hard, and this should continue in the near and medium term. Perhaps some day it will be worth buying again, but there wil...

Morgan Stanley this morning turned cautious on both the chip stocks and the semiconductor equipment sector, downgrading ratings on many names in the group. <>In a research note, Morgan chip analyst Mark Lipacis writes that his EPS estimates, which last spring were 25% above the consensus, are now 5% below the Street. “EPS, gross margins utilization and growth metrics tell us that we are in the final innings of the semi cycle,” he writes. “Peaking fundamentals lead us to shift from mid-cycle to cycle-peak P/E multiples and lower our price targets.

So, this sure is a nice day for stocks. But not chip stocks. Are investors getting worried about Q3 results - or Q4 guidance? If you happen to be nervous about the near-term prospects for the sector, it would seem logical to take profits given fat gains off the March market bottom. Even so, there is something a little disconcerting about seeing these stocks, which played a starring role in the recent advance, start to falter. <>While Intel (INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have moved a few pennies into the black after trading dow...
