The week opened under pressure: the stock dropped from $1,184.43 on Monday to a low of $1,133.83 on Wednesday, matching its lowest level over the past 60 trading days. Buying returned on Thursday and Friday, with the stock adding $51.93 on Friday to end near the previous Friday’s close. The weekly range was 7.4%, and average daily volume of 908,923 shares ran about 20% above the median. ## Key Events The week began with selling pressure before and during Monday’s session. Night trading showed a 3.00% drop, the pre-market loss widened to 4.25%, and the decline extended to more than 7% by Tuesday without a clear company-specific catalyst. English-language coverage pointed to news around a GlobalFoundries Singapore pact near the time of the move, though the company itself did not issue a direct response. The same day brought a routine dividend announcement of R$ 0.12 per unit for Q3 2026. The stock recovered most of its losses in the second half of the week and outperformed peers on Friday in a strong trading session. ## Analyst Ratings Seventeen institutions cover MPWR: 13 rate it buy, 3 rate it overweight, and 1 rates it hold, with no sell or underweight ratings. The consensus rating is strong buy, and the consensus target price is $1,839.80, about 51% above the latest close. Targets range from $1,575.00 to $2,100.00, a spread of roughly one-third that points to meaningful disagreement over the stock’s medium-term path. Within the semiconductor sector, Monolithic Power ranks 21st out of 78 companies on analyst ratings. ## The Week Ahead The macro calendar is the main focus next week. The Richmond Fed composite index lands on Tuesday, followed by EIA weekly crude and Cushing inventories on Wednesday. Thursday brings initial jobless claims, the current account balance, new home sales and EIA natural gas storage. MPWR has no scheduled earnings or major corporate events in the coming days, so sentiment across semiconductor names will likely hinge on how the macro data come in and whether Friday’s rebound carries through. ## In Short Monolithic Power ended the week nearly flat after wide swings, but the signals point in different directions. The rating backdrop is positive: strong buy consensus and a target price more than half above spot. Valuation is less comfortable, with the latest P/E around 74.63 and P/B around 15.36, both on the higher side. The latest session’s flow showed large-lot money as a net seller while small and medium orders stayed net buyers. Whether the area near $1,133.83 holds and whether Friday’s volume-backed bounce has follow-through are the key questions going forward. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [MPWR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MPWR.US.md) - [MPWX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MPWX.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [MPS to report third-quarter 2026 results after market close, host webinar update](https://longbridge.com/en/news/301316882.md) - [Monolithic Power (MPWR) Receives a Rating Update from a Top Analyst](https://longbridge.com/en/news/300895833.md) - [Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR) Could Be 27% Undervalued Following GLOBALFOUNDRIES Deal](https://longbridge.com/en/news/300471615.md) - [Here’s How Much You Would Have Made Owning Monolithic Power Systems Stock In The Last 10 Years](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299793095.md) - [Monolithic Power Systems Inc.
