Chandler, Arizona-based Microchip Technology Incorporated (MCHP) develops, manufactures, and sells smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions. With a market cap of $34.9 billion, the company's operations span various countries in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are commonly referred to as “large-cap stocks,” and Microchip fits the bill perfectly. Given the company’s extensive operations and influence in the chip industry, its valuation above this mark is unsurprising.
