The risks most specific to Monolithic Power Systems
There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends in any particular amounts or at all
The Board may reduce or eliminate quarterly dividends depending on financial condition, capital needs, business conditions, and other factors.
We cannot guarantee that our stock repurchase program will enhance long-term stockholder value
The $500 million repurchase program may not increase long-term value, and its timing can change with markets and cash priorities.
If we issue additional shares of stock in the future, it may have a dilutive effect on our stockholders
Issuing shares for capital or acquisitions could immediately dilute existing holders and trigger additional stockholder-approval requirements.

Earthquakes, pandemics, wars, climate crises, or other disasters could disrupt California and Washington offices, wafer suppliers, testing, manufacturing, assembly, or R&D.
