Microchip Technology Incorporated (NASDAQ:MCHP), a semiconductor company headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.46 per share. The dividend will be payable on March 10th to shareholders of record as of February 23rd.

Why it matters

Microchip Technology has a long history of paying consistent dividends to shareholders, having raised its dividend annually for the past 23 years. The dividend payout is an important part of the company's shareholder return strategy.

The details

The $0.46 per share dividend represents a 2.4% yield based on Microchip's current stock price. However, analysts expect the company's future earnings may not be sufficient to fully cover the $1.82 annual dividend, potentially leading to a payout ratio of 189.6%.

  • Microchip Technology declared the quarterly dividend on February 5th, 2026.
  • The dividend will be payable on March 10th, 2026.
