Monolithic Power Slumps 1.88 as $300M Volume Ranks 377th Amid Supply Chain Hurdles and Data Center & Automotive Gains

Monolithic Power (MPWR) closed 2025-09-25 with a 1.88% decline, trading at a daily volume of $300 million, ranking 377th in market activity. The stock's performance reflects mixed signals from recent developments in its core markets and operational updates.

Recent reports highlighted supply chain adjustments impacting near-term production timelines for its high-efficiency power conversion solutions. Analysts noted that while the company maintains strong design wins in data center and automotive segments, inventory management challenges could temper short-term revenue visibility. Strategic partnerships with tier-1 suppliers remain a key catalyst, though execution risks persist amid global component shortages.

Operational data from the firm's Q3 guidance indicated stable gross margins, supported by pricing discipline in industrial applications. However, underperforming segments such as consumer electronics contributed to revenue volatility. Management emphasized long-term growth vectors in EV infrastructure and AI-driven power systems, though these remain several quarters from materializing in earnings.

To set up this back-test cleanly I’ll need a bit more detail: 1. Universe • Do you want the “top 500 by volume” drawn from the entire US equity universe (≈ 3,000 + tickers) each day, or a defined subset (e.g., S&P 500, Russell 1000, NASDAQ-100, etc.)? • If you have a preferred ticker list or data source, please specify. 2. Entry & exit prices • Should positions be opened at the same day’s close and exited at the next day’s close? • Or open next day at the market open and exit at that day’s close? 3. Weighting & costs • Equal-weight each of the 500 names, or volume-weighted / other? • Any assumptions on trading costs (commissions, slippage)? Once I have this, I can generate the daily selection signals and run the 1-day-hold back-test from 2022-01-01 through today.
