“Considering that it's very hard to get competitors' numbers, where Xilinx is embedded in AMD and Altaira is now private, so we can't get their numbers.”
Microchip references FPGA competitor Xilinx (now embedded in AMD) while claiming FPGA share gains, a competitive read-through on AMD's FPGA business.
“with all these new companies like SpaceX and all that, launching satellites and others, they all have essentially our products in it.”
Microchip cites SpaceX and other satellite launchers as embedding its products, a read-through that Microchip content rides on commercial space launches.
“There's also commercial airplane production that's building up with, you know, Boeing wasn't building MAX planes for a while, and now they're building MAX planes at a record speed.”
Microchip cites Boeing ramping MAX production at record speed as a demand driver for its aerospace content, a positive read-through on Boeing's build rates.
“Today, we issued a press release in which we announced a strategic collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group to integrate our 10BASE-T1S solutions into next-generation vehicle platforms.”
Microchip announces a strategic collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group to integrate its automotive Ethernet (10BASE-T1S) into next-gen vehicles, a customer-win read-through.
“You heard our high-performance space computing announcement, I believe, where we're doing a -- under a NASA contract, we're doing the next-generation space computer.”
Microchip is developing a next-generation space computer under a NASA contract, cited as evidence of its push into advanced high-performance products.
“they can use our part or they could use TI or NXP's part and they're equally good and prices are similar”
Microchip names NXP as an interchangeable competitor whose parts and pricing are comparable, with LTSAs cited as the differentiator that keeps designs with Microchip.
“they can use our part or they could use TI or NXP's part and they're equally good and prices are similar”
Microchip frames TI as an interchangeable competitor for design sockets where LTSAs help Microchip break ties, implying comparable parts and pricing across the analog/MCU vendors.
“So we see a really healthy long-term strategic relationship with our foundry supplier in 3-nanometer, which is TSMC.”
Microchip relies on TSMC for 3-nanometer foundry capacity for its new Gen 6 PCIe switch, citing a healthy long-term relationship and secured capacity line-of-sight.
“Is your understanding that it puts you at a much better position versus like this STMicro and Infineon and S and some of your peers there”
An analyst frames Infineon as a peer that may be disadvantaged on U.S. tariff exemptions; management says Microchip produces a higher percentage of product in the U.S. than some named peers.
“Is your understanding that it puts you at a much better position versus like this STMicro and Infineon and S and some of your peers there”
An analyst frames STMicro as a peer that may be disadvantaged on U.S. tariff exemptions; management says Microchip produces a higher percentage of product in the U.S. than some named peers.
“ARM has a substantial market share at a 32-bit level and all of the competitors build on based products”
Microchip notes ARM's substantial share of 32-bit microcontroller architecture; MCHP adopted ARM-based cores and is enabling industry-standard tools around them.
“we make some products here, and we make some products overseas in TSMC and other places”
Microchip sources some wafers/manufacturing from foundry TSMC, relevant to its tariff-exemption qualification discussion.
Revenue surged 15.6% year-over-year to $1.186 billion with broad-based sequential growth as distribution inventory correction was largely complete. Non-GAAP gross margin reached 60.5% with inventory charges normalizing, and EPS of $0.44 rose 164% year-over-year. PCIe Gen 6 design wins announced with over $100 million in revenue potential while March quarter guidance of $1.26 billion implied continued acceleration.
