Microchip Technology Inc  (NASDAQ:MCHP) is one of the 7 Underperforming Data Center Stocks to Buy According to Short Sellers.

The stock is down over 12% in the last one month, and this underperformance has happened despite an earnings report in May that propelled the stock to new all-time highs. Most recently, effective June 27, the stock has been reclassified across the Russell 1000, 3000, and Midcap indexes from Value to Growth. One way to look at the reclassification is that the perception of the company has changed from a value stock to a more growth-focused one. This could bring new liquidity as new funds take positions in the stock. While the company’s recent announcement of TimePictra 12 platform and US export license show some positivity, the risks around high inventory levels and margin pressure continue to pressure the stock price.
