Microsemi Corporation’s (MSCC) Model Gaining Leverage

June 3, 2014

Stephens, Inc. Analyst Harsh Kumar says he is starting to see leverage return to Microsemi Corporation’s (MSCC) model. He says that should be helpful to the stock.

“The issue here has been that the company is fairly heavily involved in defense and aerospace,” Kumar says. “It’s right at about 50% of total revenues, and that business suffered from the government shutdown we had late last year.”

Kumar says that as that business becomes steadier with the government coming back and defense, particularly aerospace, spending improving, Microsemi stands to benefit.

“The management has a goal of 30% operating margins,” Kumar says. “The company today is running at 21% operating margins.”
