MONOLITHIC POWER SYSTEMS INC represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns MONOLITHIC POWER SYSTEMS INC a Hold rating, with a composite score of 61.4/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #564 of 7,333 stocks, MPWR presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
MPWR earns a quality score of 70/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 16.5% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 55.2% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 22.1% (sector avg: 1.0%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
MPWR's value score of 53/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 99.37x, an EV/EBITDA of 84.67x, a P/B ratio of 16.44x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
MONOLITHIC POWER SYSTEMS INC's investment score of 23/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 45.3% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 14.0% (sector: 0.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
MPWR shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 74/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 45.3% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.23 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
With a stability score of 54/100, MPWR exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.23 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 18.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
The short interest score of 49/100 for MPWR suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 2.23), elevated leverage (D/E: 18.00x). With a $44.1B market cap (large-cap), MONOLITHIC POWER SYSTEMS INC may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
MPWR offers a modest dividend yield of 0.6%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
MONOLITHIC POWER SYSTEMS INC is a large-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #564 of 7,333 overall (92nd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 16.5% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 26.0% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While MPWR currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
