Wasatch Global Investors made the following comment about SiTime Corporation (NASDAQ:SITM) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Another detractor was SiTime Corporation (NASDAQ:SITM), a developer of silicon-based timing components— which we believe are superior to less-expensive quartz-based components. The stock was down because the company lowered earnings guidance based on temporarily weaker consumer demand. We recently visited SiTime in Santa Clara, California, and came away even more optimistic that consumer demand will rebound over the long term. Additionally, the company doesn’t have many supply-chain challenges because it has greater in-house control of its manufacturing processes compared to typical electronics businesses.”
