Question · Q2 2026
Joe Quatroci asked if Microchip could identify specific end markets experiencing the 'push-pull' dynamic of strong bookings but delayed delivery, and then inquired about the line of sight for 3-nanometer wafer availability for the Gen 6 PCIe switch, given potential tightness at leading-edge nodes.
Answer
President and CEO Steve Sanghi indicated that the push-pull phenomenon was broad-based across most segments, not specific to any single end market. Corporate VP of Data Center Solutions Business Unit Brian McCarson stated that Microchip has a healthy long-term strategic relationship with its foundry supplier (TSMC) for 3-nanometer technology and believes they have line of sight to the necessary capacity to support customer needs.
