Semis rallied with the support of tailwinds, but they reversed course when the same tailwinds turned into headwinds in Q1 2026. Semis lost most of their gains as they headed into Q2 2026 and it could have been worse if not for the prospect of something that may not be attainable. Q2 2026 is likely to see increased volatility, unless a resolution is found to the Middle East and the uncertainty hanging over semis is lifted.

Microchip's steep 2024-2025 revenue declines were driven by excess customer inventories post-Preferred Supply Program, but distributor inventories are now normalizing. All major product segments: MCU, analog, and FPGA, are showing double-digit YoY growth, with management guiding for 29.8% YoY growth in Q4 FY2026. Gross and net margins are expected to recover as utilization improves, but high leverage remains a key risk limiting acquisition-driven growth.
