Read MoreHide Full Article

Microchip Technology (MCHP - Free Report) is set to release its second-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Nov 3.

For the quarter, Microchip expects net sales to be $2.023-$2.101 billion, indicating 5% sequential growth. At the midpoint of this guidance, net sales are expected to grow 25% year over year.

Non-GAAP earnings are anticipated to be $1.44 per share, indicating 34.6% year-over-year growth.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.44 per share, unchanged over the past 30 days and indicating growth of 34.58% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.

The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $2.06 billion, suggesting an improvement of 25.01% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
 

 

Microchip’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 3.44%, on average.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for Microchip prior to this announcement:

Factors to Consider

Microchip is riding on consistent strength in its analog and microcontroller businesses. The company is expected to have gained from the dominance of its 8, 16 and 32-bit microcontrollers in the fiscal second quarter.

Microcontrollers represented 54.1% of the company’s fiscal first-quarter 2023 revenues.

Improving demand across office equipment and communication infrastructures, courtesy of the requirement for cloud-computing solutions, bodes well.

However, supply-chain constraints, as well as lockdowns in China, are expected to have hurt top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter. Rising commodity costs and labor costs are expected to have kept the gross margin under pressure.
