The same article notes that the enterprise data segment, which includes power solutions for AI servers, posted revenue growth of 164.3 percent year over year in the second quarter of 2026, underlining how AI workloads have become a central growth driver for the company.

Analyst price targets support elevated valuation

Based on data compiled by MarketBeat, Monolithic Power Systems currently carries a consensus rating of Moderate Buy from covering analysts, with an average price target of USD 1,731.42.

Institutional investors adjust positions in high-valuation stock
