Microchip posts strong Q2 sales but issues weaker Q3 guidance, shares slip 4%

Microchip Technology reported second‑quarter fiscal 2027 net sales of $1.62 billion, up 42.2% year‑over‑year, and non‑GAAP earnings per share of $0.97, beating estimates. The company said $53 million of infrequent revenue helped the quarter and declared a $0.455 dividend. However, it guided third‑quarter revenue to $1.573‑$1.638 billion and adjusted EPS to $0.87‑$0.95, both below consensus, sending the stock down about 4%. CEO Steve Sanghi attributed growth to industrial and data‑center applications.

The weaker‑than‑expected Q3 outlook caused the stock to fall 4%, indicating short‑term pressure on the share price. The guidance also signals lower near‑term revenue growth for investors tracking Microchip’s performance.
