Microchip Technology's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 12 October 2021. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Microchip Technology shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Microchip Technology shares which in turn could have impacted Microchip Technology's share price.

It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.
Valuing Microchip Technology stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Microchip Technology's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Microchip Technology's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Microchip Technology shares trade at around 20x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Microchip Technology's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 8.4652. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Microchip Technology's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Microchip Technology's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$4.1 billion (£3.3 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Microchip Technology's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Microchip Technology's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$68.025 up to US$94.19. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Microchip Technology's is 1.625. This would suggest that Microchip Technology's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Dividend payout ratio: 28.13% of net profits
Recently Microchip Technology has paid out, on average, around 28.13% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.96% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Microchip Technology shareholders could enjoy a 1.96% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Microchip Technology's case, that would currently equate to about $1.59 per share.
While Microchip Technology's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Microchip Technology may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Microchip Technology's most recent dividend payout was on 7 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
