Seeking Alpha: Is This A 'Buy The Dip' Opportunity At Maxim Integrated Products?

With a very disappointing outlook for the next quarter and renewed worries about Maxim Integrated Products' (NASDAQ:MXIM) ability, or lack thereof, Maxim shares are off significantly amidst some broader renewed worries about the chip sector. This may be one of those "buy the dip" opportunities that investors are always supposed to be looking or waiting for, but the outlook is admittedly a reason to pause.
