TimesSquare Capital U.S. SMID Cap Growth Strategy made the following comment about MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTSI) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
"Among the wide variety of Information Technology companies, we prefer critical system providers, specialized component designers, and systems that improve productivity or efficiency for their clients. Late in the quarter, MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTSI) reported results that were largely in line with expectations for this designer of radio frequency, millimeter wave, microwave and photonic analog semiconductor chips for the aerospace/defense, communication network, and datacenter markets. The market seemed enthusiastic regarding increased guidance for its final quarter of the fiscal year, and the surging growth of its datacenter business. Later, there were additional rewards for MACOM after it announced the acquisition of Wolfspeed’s complementary radio frequency business. While the deal makes strategic sense, because MACOM will fund the purchase partly with shares, we pruned our position as it gained 24%."
