Foolish Take

In the three months ending on September 30, 2025, Stanley-Laman Group, a Pennsylvania-based advisory firm, acquired more than $8.5 million worth of Monolithic Power Systems stock. Investors should note this purchase, as it represents growing institutional support for a stock and sector on the rise.

Monolithic Power produces semiconductor-based power electronic solutions, which are needed in the artificial intelligence (AI), automotive, and consumer electronics sectors. Obviously, with the AI ecosystem being red-hot, demand has been stout for the company's products.

In its most recent quarter (for the three months ending on June 30, 2025), the company announced revenue growth of 31%. Operating income for the quarter improved to $165 million, up from $117 million in the same period one year ago.

With Stanley-Laman taking this new position, average investors should take note: Institutional investors are expressing confidence in Monolithic Power ahead of its scheduled third-quarter earnings release on October 30, 2025.

Granted, shares have already advanced by nearly 83% year-to-date, and a poor earnings report could spell trouble for the stock in the near-term. Nevertheless, retail investors may want to keep a close eye on this stock moving forward.
