Monolithic Power Systems Drives Potent Growth

Sales growth has ranged from 25% to 58% over the last eight quarters. MPWR stock earns stellar marks in IBD Stock Checkup. It earns an A SMR Rating, which tracks sales growth, profit margins and return on equity.
AI Leader Eyes Real Breakout
Monolithic Power Systems continues to build a deep cup with handle showing a 530.85 buy point.
As last year’s bear market ravaged tech stocks like Nvidia and others, MPWR stock saw a 44% decline within its base. But it has fought back and has flashed positive chart action amid increased selling pressure in the market indexes.
Monolithic is testing support at its 21-day exponential moving average, while its 50-day line has moved back above its 200-day benchmark.
The relative strength line has jumped while the stock formed the right side of the base and has now hit a new 52-week high ahead of the potential breakout.
But keep an eye on the general market, as the S&P and Nasdaq undercut key moving averages. MPWR, AVGO, LSCC, MBLY and NVDA stock have held up better than the major indexes, but caution is in order as we wait to see how the current turbulence plays out.
