2023-11-11 07:30:00 ET
Microchip Technology 's (NASDAQ: MCHP) 2024 fiscal year (the 12-month period that will end in March 2024) is suddenly turning ugly, but the stock is holding up pretty well considering. Share prices are down 20% from all-time highs reached a couple of months ago, but actually rallied slightly after management offered a not-so-great outlook for the closing months of calendar year 2023.
The reason? Microchip has gotten itself in excellent shape after a spate of rapid and profitable growth in the last couple of years, and it's a top dividend stock that has managed many downturns before. Is it a buy now?
Microchip is a top provider of microcontrollers (a type of processor that controls a specific function in a piece of equipment), analog chips (sensors), and "total solutions" spanning computing systems and integrated software.
