Microchip Technology is a leading supplier of microcontrollers, or MCUs, which are semiconductors that act as the brains in a wide variety of common electronic devices, from electric razors to thermostats to power tools and all types of products in between. We like Microchip’s ability to generate free cash flow under virtually any economic scenario.
Microchip sells to tens of thousands of end customers, so it is not overly dependent on sales to any one client or market segment.
The Chinese government is striving to build out an ecosystem of chipmakers, and it’s likely that some Chinese upstarts will emerge as competitors to Microchip in the years ahead.
