Monolithic Power Systems (NASDAQ:MPWR) Announces Quarterly Earnings Results

Monolithic Power Systems (NASDAQ:MPWR) released its earnings results on Thursday. The semiconductor company reported $8.19 EPS for the quarter, beating analysts’ consensus estimates of $7.79 by $0.40, FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $1.20 billion during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.16 billion. Monolithic Power Systems had a return on equity of 22.31% and a net margin of 24.41%. Monolithic Power Systems’s quarterly revenue was up 63.1% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same quarter last year, the company earned $4.73 earnings per share.

Here are the key takeaways from Monolithic Power Systems’ conference call:

• Record growth: Q3 revenue reached $1.2 billion, up 22% sequentially and 63% year over year, marking MPS’s first quarter above $1 billion. Management said it sees no signs of slowing and described the coming years as an “explosive growth period.”
• Enterprise data remains the primary driver: Management raised its year-over-year growth floor for the enterprise data business from 130% to 150%, supported by existing-customer demand, new ASIC-related wins, higher module content and AI-driven customer expansion. It expects these growth drivers to remain intact into 2027.
• Broader growth opportunities are ramping: Communications growth is benefiting from both optical modules and a rapidly expanding switching business, while automotive design wins in 48V and zonal architectures, robotics, high-speed memory and data converters are expected to contribute increasingly in 2027 and beyond.
• Capacity and new technologies are being built ahead of demand: Annual revenue-supporting capacity has surpassed $6 billion, with $8 billion targeted by the second half of 2027 and $10 billion thereafter. MPS is sampling internally developed 800V GaN solutions, but meaningful revenue is not expected until late 2027 or more likely 2028 as reliability is validated.
• Operating leverage remains favorable: Management expects gross-margin expansion to continue gradually within its 55%–60% target range, while rapid revenue growth is causing operating expenses to run below the company’s historical model. MPS also repurchased more than $450 million of stock in Q3.
