On May 27, 2025, Monolithic Power (MPWR) saw a significant surge in trading volume, with a total turnover of $539 million, marking a 60.01% increase from the previous day.

Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. is a leading analog and mixed-signal chipmaker, renowned for its power management solutions. The company's mission is to reduce total energy consumption through innovative semiconductor-based power electronics solutions, catering to a diverse range of markets including storage and computing, automotive, enterprise data, consumer, communications, and industrial sectors.

On May 1, MPWR reported its Q1 results, which exceeded Wall Street expectations. The company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $4.04 surpassed the forecast of $4.00, while revenue reached $637.6 million, outpacing the anticipated $635.1 million. For the second quarter, MPWR projects revenue to fall between $640 million and $660 million. Analysts anticipate a 21.5% growth in EPS for the current fiscal year, ending in December, to $12.98 on a diluted basis. However, MPWR's earnings surprise history is mixed, with the company missing the consensus estimate in three of the last four quarters.

Despite its recent underperformance compared to the broader market and the SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF, MPWR's stock has shown resilience. In 2025, MPWR's stock rose 11.9%, outperforming the S&P 500 Index's 1.3% dip on a year-to-date basis. The company's strong Q1 earnings report further underscores its position as a resilient and growth-oriented player in the semiconductor industry.
