• Enterprise data revenue rose 45% sequentially, prompting management to raise its full-year growth floor for the segment from 85% to 130%; executives cited low channel inventories, strong bookings, new customers, platform refreshes and rising module content.
• Communications revenue increased 80% sequentially, driven by optical-module power solutions and expanding power products for switches, TPUs and NIC cards. Management also sees continued adoption of 48-volt vertical power modules and further share-gain opportunities.
• MPS is broadening its addressable market with initial DDR5 high-speed memory-controller orders, sampling 800-volt data-center AC-to-DC solutions using its silicon-carbide technology, and expanding automotive design wins; the board also authorized an additional $500 million in stock repurchases.
• Management remains cautious about consumer markets and notebook-related storage and compute in the second half, while industrial growth is expected to be modest and primarily design-win driven. The company said 2027 growth remains structurally attractive but is too early to quantify, and new opportunities such as RCDs, building automation and robotics are not expected to materially affect 2026 revenue.
