- Declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.455 per share for the March quarter and returned $246.1 million to common stockholders in Q3.
- Fourth-quarter guidance: net sales of $1.240 – 1.280 billion (midpoint $1.260 billion, +6.2% sequential, +29.8% Y/Y) and Non-GAAP EPS of $0.48 – 0.52.
- Full qualification and production release of SST’s embedded SuperFlash Gen 4 (ESF4) on UMC’s 28HPC+ foundry process with Automotive Grade 1 capability.
- Key performance: –40 °C to +150 °C operating range, <12.5 ns read access, 100K+ endurance cycles, >10 years data retention at 125 °C, and only 1-bit ECC required.
- 32 Mb macro under AG1 conditions exhibited zero bit failures and 100% peak yield, confirming robust reliability.
- Collaboration yields fewer masking steps versus competing 28 nm HKMG eFlash solutions, delivering cost and manufacturing efficiency benefits.
- Microchip Technology raised its fiscal Q3 revenue outlook to $1.185 – $1.19 billion, above prior guidance, sending shares up over 4% in after-hours trading.
- The upgrade reflects a broad-based market recovery driven by inventory correction, strong December-quarter bookings, and new customer designs moving into production, improving the March-quarter starting backlog.
- Management noted a substantial decline in internal inventory and plans to ramp factory production to reduce inventory write-offs and under-utilization charges.
- Despite these operational gains, the company still faces multi-year challenges, including a 12.1% three-year revenue decline, 3.68% operating margin, and –4.39% net margin.
- Net sales expected at $1,185 million, above prior guidance of $1,109–1,149 million for Q3 FY2026.
- Substantial progress on nine-point recovery plan, with reduced internal inventory and planned factory ramp in the March quarter to lower under-utilization charges.
- CEO Steve Sanghi reports strong bookings, broad-based end-market recovery, and improved backlog entering the March quarter.
- No conference call scheduled; full Q3 FY2026 results will be announced on February 5, 2026.
- Microchip expects Q3 FY2026 net sales of $1,185 million, above its prior guidance of $1,109 million to $1,149 million.
- CEO Steve Sanghi highlighted a broad-based end-market recovery, strong December-quarter bookings, and a higher starting backlog for the March quarter.
- Progress on its nine-point recovery plan has cut internal inventory write-offs and will reduce under-utilization charges as factory ramps commence in the March quarter.
- No conference call will be held; fiscal Q3 2026 results are scheduled for release on February 5, 2026.
- Microchip is leveraging the AI tailwind in data centers with its 3 nm PCIe Gen 6 switch, upcoming Gen 6 retimers, and ChipLink software platform, alongside timing and secure-boot products, aiming for significant growth over the next five years.
- On the edge, the AI/ML group offers a model zoo for microcontrollers handling sensor tasks without accelerators, while FPGA accelerators serve vision systems; wired Ethernet (T1/T1S) connectivity is rapidly being adopted in robotics and Industry 4.0.
- Automotive and industrial inventory correction is nearing completion, evidenced by 199 days of inventory and short lead times; broad-based booking strength supports expectations for the March quarter to outpace the typical flat-to-up 1–2% seasonal trend.
- Data center & compute and aerospace & defense accounted for 19% and 18% of revenue last year; A&D growth is driven by hypersonics, satellites, and a next-generation octal RISC-V space computer under NASA contract, sampling in mid-2026.
- With 37% in-house wafer fab capacity (400 M undepreciated equipment), underutilization and inventory reserve run-offs are poised to boost gross margin toward the 65% target; free cash flow now covers the dividend, and the focus is on balance-sheet deleveraging before buybacks.
- Microchip is ramping its 3 nm PCIe Gen 6 switch and will introduce matching Gen 6 retimers next quarter, supported by its ChipLink software platform to accelerate Gen 6/Gen 7 deployments in AI data centers.
- On the edge, the newly formed AI/ML group provides a “Model Zoo” for microcontrollers and FPGAs—training and porting models for vibration, sound and battery management—with accelerators reserved for vision and optical inspection systems.
- Management sees broad-based booking strength across end markets and expects the March quarter to perform meaningfully above the typical 1–2 % seasonal growth rate, driven by backlog build.
- Inventory correction is underway: distribution inventories are lean, customer inventories are normalizing, and reducing inventory reserves should yield a $50 M quarterly benefit to gross margin over the next 3–4 quarters.
