Author argues SITM is overbought after a debt-funded, dilutive acquisition and bought $400 3/20 puts.
SITM — SHORT The author argues SiTime is overbought after gapping up on acquisition and earnings news, noting the deal adds $900M in debt to a company that earned $82.6M and dilutes shareholders by 16% via over 4 million new shares, making it closer to a $3B purchase. The author contends earnings were flat versus 2022 (~$82-83M) yet the stock trades far higher, and questions why Renesas would sell a division generating $210M in profit next year unless SiTime is overpaying. The catalyst is the deal not closing until at least EOY 2026 and the market going 'full hopium' on data center buildout. The author expresses the view by buying $400 3/20 puts, with the main risk being continued momentum on data center optimism.
