Member Avatar Wingaersheek (63.07) Submitted: 7/26/2011 11:03:57 AM : Outperform Start Price: $33.57 MCHP Score: +9.14

Microchip showed up on my radar a few months ago as a solid growth stock with the financial quality to back it up and a dividend attractive to many investors, but I thought it was a little overpriced as a stock, especially looking at a P/S ratio that was near 4.5. With a major drop in price a few days ago I see this stock balancing out its value and coming to a price solidly built on the other great stats. While I still would've prefered a little cheaper share price, I think the dividends, financial stability, and steady but not out-of-control growth can back up this price and future increases.
