MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INC 8-K

What Happened
Microchip Technology Inc. announced on January 5, 2026 that it expects net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The company furnished a press release with its Q3 business update (attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K). The report was furnished under Item 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition) and is explicitly furnished — not “filed” — under General Instruction B(2) to Form 8-K.

Key Details

• Announcement date: January 5, 2026.
• Period covered: Q3 FY2026 (quarter ended December 31, 2025).
• Content: Expected net sales for the quarter were disclosed in a press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 (the Form 8-K does not embed the sales figure in the filing text).
• Filing treatment: The release is furnished (not filed) and therefore not subject to Section 18 liability. The Form 8-K was signed by J. Eric Bjornholt, Senior VP and Chief Financial Officer.

Why It Matters
This update provides investors an early directional view of Microchip’s quarterly revenue performance ahead of formal earnings statements. Expected net sales for the quarter can influence short-term trading and analyst estimates for revenue and earnings. Because the figure itself is provided in the attached press release rather than in the 8-K text, investors should review Exhibit 99.1 or company investor communications for the specific sales amount and any related commentary.
