Microchip Technology, Inc. (MCHP)

CAPS Rating:
****

Develops and manufactures specialized semiconductor products used by its customers for a variety of embedded control applications.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

From article in the "TheStreet.com," April 28, 2008: "Microchip said its book-to-bill ratio was 1.06 in [in its fiscal fourth] quarter, meaning that the company's orders were exceeding its current sales -- a sign of healthy future demand. Still, the company said it continues to watch economic conditions very carefully while monitoring the potential impact on its business.

"Microchip said sales in the current quarter will be up 2% to 6% sequentially, which translates to a range of $265.6 million to $276 million, with EPS between 39 cents and 41 cents. "

I've owned them in real life for nine years and they have been a nice steady company, and keep coming up with new products that keep their customers coming back. Plus I love those dividends!

Primed for a big move. Outperforms their industry peers in average ROE and average net income. Low P/E relative to industry peers also. Stable growth, decent dividend for a tech.

Increases dividends almost every quarter but I am not sure how much longer that can continue.
