Microchip Technology stock price: MCHP heads into Monday after earnings outlook and mixed analyst calls

Microchip Technology stock price: MCHP heads into Monday after earnings outlook and mixed analyst calls

8 February 2026
New York, February 7, 2026, 20:23 (EST) — Market closed.

U.S. markets are shut for the weekend. The next read comes when Nasdaq trading resumes on Monday. Microchip sells microcontrollers and other embedded chips that end up in cars, factory gear and consumer devices. That makes its order flow a rough barometer for whether the broader “old economy” chip slump is easing — or just pausing. A separate worry is supply, not demand. Reuters
