Shares of analog chipmaker Microchip Technology (NASDAQMCHP)
fell 5.9% in the afternoon session after Texas Instruments, a peer in the semiconductor industry, reported disappointing fourth-quarter results, highlighting rising inventory levels and softening demand in critical end markets. Texas Instruments' earnings guidance for the next quarter fell short of Wall Street's expectations. Adding to the negative was the fact that inventory levels increased, contributing to weaknesses in Japan and Europe, especially in the auto, and industrial markets.
