I agree, the pure analog companies are run on continuous profitable quarters. There must have been a recent large or several large investor(s) that have decided to reduce or eliminate their investment in Maxim. The stock will cycle back to a fairer value over the next several weeks/months as it has customarily done. There is insignificant insider selling because the insiders realize better prices are soon to follow. The analog semis tend to rise during the Summer/Fall season. The PE and PEG ratios are at all time lows and if cash is taken into account, the numbers would be improved by about 10%. A PE of 20 for Maxim with its profit and growth prospects is in my opinion, a time to purchase.
