Microchip Technology reported fiscal Q3 revenue of $1.185 billion, surpassing its own guidance range of $1.109–$1.149 billion by more than $35 million. The outperformance was driven by broad-based demand across industrial, automotive and communications end markets as customers continue to deplete excess chip inventories built up during the pandemic. CEO Steve Sanghi highlighted exceptionally strong bookings activity, noting that new orders grew by over 20% sequentially. Operating margin expanded by approximately 150 basis points year-over-year to 28.5%, supported by higher factory utilization and improved cost control measures.

Alongside the revenue beat, Microchip raised its adjusted EPS guidance for fiscal Q3 to $0.40, up from a prior midpoint of $0.38. Management cited continued progress on its nine-point recovery plan, which includes factory capacity optimization, inventory normalization and targeted R&D investments. The company reiterated its expectation for double-digit revenue growth in fiscal year 2026, forecasting that sequential margin improvements will drive full-year non-GAAP earnings per share north of $1.60. Sanghi stated that these results position Microchip for a strong 2026, as stabilized supply chains and healthier end-market inventories support a more predictable demand environment.
