Quinn Bolton has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors despite the challenges faced by Microchip. The company is currently dealing with pressures on its gross margins due to underutilization and capacity charges, which are expected to increase in the near term. Additionally, Microchip is experiencing weak demand as a result of high inventory levels across various markets.
Despite these challenges, Bolton’s rating reflects confidence in Microchip’s strategic plan to overcome these issues. The company’s management has outlined a nine-point plan aimed at realigning operations and improving financial performance. This strategic roadmap, along with the revised price target, suggests a positive long-term outlook for Microchip, warranting the Buy rating.

In another report released today, KeyBanc also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $60.00 price target.
