Microchip: Stronger Demand, Higher Prices, And An Attractive Valuation
Microchip Technology is emerging from its worst downturn, with Q1 FY2027 sales up 38% YoY and strong bookings indicating demand now outstrips supply. MCHP's pricing power is evident as mid-year price increases were well-received, lead times are stretching, and data center sales are expected to grow ~69% to ~$1B in CY2026. Despite robust earnings growth and sector discounts (20.72x FWD P/E, 0.46x FWD PEG), the company remains a cyclical business with capped gross margins and high net debt ($5.1B).
