It edged up to $64.70 on September 22 and was virtually unchanged at $64.71 on September 23, then slipped to $64.08 on September 24. The decisive move came September 25, when it jumped to $67.12, before surrendering $0.34 to close at $66.78 on September 28; the final session trimmed, but did not erase, the late-week advance.

MCHPP rose $3.51, or 5.37%, from $65.40 to $68.91 over the measured week. Trading was volatile: the depositary shares fell to $62.12 on July 29 on unusually heavy volume of 126,690, then recovered to $64.71 on July 30 and closed at $64.28 on July 31. The stock opened the August portion at $64.68 before gaining 6.54% to $68.91 on August 4, with volume of 30,100. The supplied evidence identifies no company-specific announcement during the week; the March 2025 preferred-stock offering materials predate the move. No broader market catalyst is provided, so the rally cannot be attributed to a documented external driver.
