Microchip Technology's Days Sales Outstanding for the
three
months ended in Mar. 2026 was 55.53.
Microchip Technology's Days Inventory for the
three
months ended in Mar. 2026 was 187.81.
Microchip Technology's Days Payable for the
three
months ended in Mar. 2026 was 32.83.
Therefore, Microchip Technology's Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) for the
three
months ended in Mar. 2026 was 210.51.
Generally, the lower this number is, the better for the company. Although it should be combined with other metrics (such as ROE % and ROA %), it can be especially useful for comparing close competitors, because the company with the lowest CCC is often the one with better management.
Be Aware
CCC is most effective with retail-type companies, which have inventories that are sold to customers. Consulting businesses, software companies and insurance companies are all examples of companies for whom this metric is meaningless.
The CCC is one of several tools that can help you evaluate management, especially if it is calculated for several consecutive time periods and for several competitors. Decreasing or steady CCCs are good, while rising ones should motivate you to dig a bit deeper.

Microchip Technology became an independent company in 1989 when it was spun off from General Instrument. More than half of revenue comes from MCUs, which are used in a wide array of electronic devices from remote controls to garage door openers to power windows in autos. The company's strength lies in lower-end 8-bit MCUs that are suitable for a wider range of less technologically advanced devices, but the firm has expanded its presence in higher-end MCUs and analog chips as well.
