Microchip Earnings: Cutting Our Fair Value Estimate to $63 from $75 as the Downturn Remains Severe
Microchip Technology reported disappointing fiscal third-quarter results and provided investors with an even softer forecast for the March quarter, as the company is amid an inventory correction unlike any the firm has ever seen. We think this wide-moat company is taking the right steps to turn around its fortunes, but such turnaround might take longer than previously anticipated. We cut our fair value estimate to $63 from $75. Shares still appear undervalued to us in the $50 range and we see a decent margin of safety for patient investors willing to wait out the turnaround.
