What this company does

AI

Monolithic Power Systems designs analog and mixed-signal power management chips that regulate electricity inside data centers, cars, industrial equipment, and consumer devices. It earns revenue almost entirely from selling these semiconductors to OEMs and distributors, with Q3 2025 sales of $737 million producing a 55% gross margin. Revenue jumped 29% year-over-year for the first nine months of 2025, driven by AI data center demand, while the company sits on over $1.2 billion in cash and investments with no debt.

Key risks

AI
  • Inventory build: inventories rose 21% to $506M against $737M quarterly revenue, signaling potential demand softness or channel overhang.
  • Heavy stock-based comp dilution: $174M SBC over nine months equals ~39% of net income, materially inflating non-GAAP earnings quality.
  • Customer concentration in AI/data-center: rapid revenue growth (+29% YoY) leaves MPWR exposed if hyperscaler orders or NVIDIA-related demand decelerate.

Top questions investors are asking

AI
  1. 1

    Gross margin held at 55.1% despite NVIDIA Blackwell rumors of MPWR losing socket share—quantify FY26 AI/data-center revenue concentration risk.

  2. 2

    Inventories jumped to $506M from $420M, up 21% YTD against 29% revenue growth—is this stocking ahead of share loss?

  3. 3

    Stock-based comp hit $174M, roughly 39% of net income—why repurchase only $4.5M YTD versus $227M dividends amid this dilution?
