MPWR gains on Wells Fargo upgrade and positive analyst sentiment ahead of Q4 earnings

Wells Fargo upgraded Monolithic Power Systems today, with several analysts turning more positive on the company's prospects ahead of its Q4 2025 results release on February 5, according to Nasdaq and Finnhub. The upgrade reflects improving sentiment in the semiconductor sector and expectations for customer inventory replenishment.

Analysis

This continues a strong week for MPWR, which has gained roughly 8% over the past five trading days. The stock modestly outperformed the semiconductor sector (SMH +1.91%) today, suggesting the Wells Fargo upgrade provided incremental lift beyond the broader sector strength. The analyst focus on AI power-management durability and inventory replenishment aligns with the pre-earnings positioning theme noted in recent sessions.
