Microchip tumbles after weak margin forecast, bucks chip-sector gains

By Reuters News

** Shares of US semiconductor supplier Microchip MCHP.O fall 5% to $61, on track for their worst day since July as concerns over its margin outlook outweigh a broader chip-sector rebound

** Co on Thursday forecast gross margin of 64% to 65% in Q3, below analysts' mean estimate of 66.2% — data compiled by LSEG

** Supply limitations are constraining the outlook, CEO Steve Sanghi said, as bottlenecks at foundries, assembly and test partners, and internal operations leave some orders unfilled

** At least three brokerages cut PTs; JPM lowered its PT to $100 from $120, citing supply constraints and higher costs that are limiting margin expansion despite healthy demand

** 14 out of 27 analysts rate the stock as "buy", 7 as "strong buy" and six "hold"; their median PT is $88 — LSEG

** Up to last close, stock has risen 4% YTD
