DKosig/iStock via Getty Images By Anthony Goh, Senior Investment Research Analyst @ Khaveen Investments In our previous analysis of Microchip ( MCHP ), we highlighted the slowing growth performance of the company in 2024, which we believed was influenced by overall weakness in the DAO semiconductor market segment. We believed it to be a short-term headwind, while its long-term growth outlook remained positive, supported by its strength in MCUs and its wide analog product breadth. We had expected FY2024 to be flattish based on prorated company results at that time and still low in FY2025, with recovery only in FY2026. But the company's revenues instead worsened in FY2024 and declined sharply in FY2025 with a 42% plunge. Based on its Q3 FY2026 YTD performance, its growth rate is improving (-0.9%), but still short of our previous growth expectations. At the same time, margins were below our forecasts as its net margins turned negative in the past 2 years, from 26.52% to -1.57% in TTM. Thus, in this analysis, we examine why Microchip’s recovery took longer than we expected and instead declined massively, especially in 2024, and whether it is now on track for growth and margin recovery. Microchip Revenues Showing Positive Improvement After Steep Declines From PSP In the first section, we examine the company's revenue growth performance trend to determine whether the company’s performance contracted much more than we had expected, as well as compared to competitors in the past two years during the DAO market downturn between FY2024 and FY2025. Company Data, Khaveen Investments Company Data, Khaveen Investments Microchip’s revenue growth declined massively in FY2024 and FY2025, much worse compared to our forecasts, which we had assumed to be flattish amid the DAO market decline. Its revenue growth performance is also much lower than that of the DAO market. Thus, while the company may have been impacted by end-market weakness, it is not the only reason for the steep decline...

‘Ukraine has expertise concerning sea waterways, and the defence and reopening of maritime traffic,’ says president. What we know on day 1,500 Volodymyr Zelenskyy offered on Thursday to provide Ukraine’s expertise in dealing with freedom of navigation in the Black Sea to those countries considering how to keep the strait of Hormuz open amid the conflict in the Middle East. The Ukraine president, speaking in his nightly video address, said the foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, had taken part in a virtual meeting devoted to reopening the strait of Hormuz, attended by about 40 countries. “Ukraine has relevant expertise concerning sea waterways, and the defence and reopening of maritime traffic,” he said. “If [our] partners are ready to act, we will consider how we can strengthen them, how we can apply our expertise, knowledge and technological potential.” Russia’s army recorded no territorial gains on the frontline in Ukraine in March, for the first time in two and half years, AFP analysis of data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) showed . The Russian army’s advances have been slowing since late 2025 due to Kyiv’s localised breakthroughs in the south-east, and losing ground in March and February on the southern section of the frontline, between the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, the analysis showed. Across the entire frontline, Ukrainian forces managed to recapture 9 sq km in March. North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, gave “field guidance” at the Memorial Museum of Combat Feats at the Overseas Military Operations, which is under construction , state media KCNA said. The museum in Pyongyang will be a place to commemorate the fallen soldiers sent to support the Russian army in the war in Ukraine. The construction of the museum is almost complete and Kim said the opening ceremony would be held in mid-April, marking the first anniversary of the deployment of the North Korean soldiers. Six Ukrainian children will be returned from Russia to their families in U...
