On October 20, Monolithic Power fell 3.38% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $1224.3033 per share, with turnover of $426,000.
The main catalyst was continued market focus on the company’s inclusion in a US International Trade Commission Section 337 investigation involving certain vertical power delivery systems, with potential supply chain restrictions, customer access risks, and litigation costs weighing on risk appetite.
Recent coverage indicates the investigation remains the primary overhang on the stock even though the company previously signed a long-term manufacturing agreement with GlobalFoundries to advance power management technology on a 300mm line in Singapore, and its next earnings release is scheduled for October 29. The pressure also came against a weaker semiconductor backdrop, with peers such as Micron Technology, AMD, and Intel also trading lower.
