Analog semis just flashed the clearest cycle-turn signal in three years, and the price action is confirming it: ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:ON | ON Price Prediction) is up 69.24% year to date through July 10, and it isn't even the best performer on this list.

MCHP, SMTC, TXN, ASYS and VSH stand out for July as the AI boom drives demand across connectivity, power management, networking and advanced packaging.

CHANDLER, Ariz., July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has announced that its MPLAB® XC Pro Compilers and MPLAB Machine Learning (ML) Development Suite are now available at no cost to customers.

MCHP is poised to benefit from mixed-signal MCU demand as industrial, auto, aerospace and data center markets recover and bookings strengthen.

AI-driven chip demand is fueling record semiconductor sales in 2026. See why ADI, MCHP, TXN and TSM stand out as stocks with growth potential.

The AI trade is off to a strong start this week, with several chip and memory stocks among the biggest gainers in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq on Monday.

Semis put in a powerful performance in Q2 2026 thanks to things going its way, which more than made up for what happened in Q1 2026. It is not the only thing that matters, but if semis are to add to gains in H2 2026, AI will need to keep driving growth forward. The AI thesis remains intact, but recent developments leave open the possibility the thesis could still turn out to be flawed.

Q2 market gains fueled by AI momentum set the stage for Q3. MU, WDC, MCHP, CRDO and STRL are five momentum stocks positioned to benefit in Q3.
