“Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MPWR) designs analog power-management chips for a wide variety of industrial and consumer devices. The paths of the company’s profit cycle and share price have diverged this year. Investors have rotated out of high-growth stocks with elevated multiples, raised concerns about the company potentially facing headwinds from China COVID-19 lockdowns and a potential recession. Meanwhile, the company’s recent quarterly results and outlook helped dispel some of these fears. Monolithic reported 48% revenue growth and issued guidance for the following quarter well ahead of expectations. There are COVID-related impacts in China, but we are monitoring them closely, and we believe the company can continue to navigate them over modest durations. Based on its unique ability to offer highly integrated solutions and solve complex power management issues across multiple end-applications, we believe the company is well-positioned to continue to drive its ongoing profit cycle in the periods ahead.”
