Against the central value of 19.03 USD, the price of 25.84 USD leaves a potential of -26.4% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -35.8% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

olivLaw score 51/100, methodological classification: neutral profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Not investment advice.

AI analysis

AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.

In brief

Vishay Intertechnology makes one of the world's largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, used in automotive, industrial, computing and telecom markets. The company is in an upcycle: quarterly revenue has grown steadily and orders exceed shipments, while large capacity investments are under way 13.

SWOT

Strengths

  • A broad portfolio of semiconductors and passive components reduces dependence on any single market or region 1.
  • Established technology position in precision resistors, low-voltage MOSFETs and capacitors, with a track record of integrating acquisitions 1.
  • A growing backlog and a book-to-bill ratio above one indicate demand exceeding shipments in the second quarter of 2026 3.

Weaknesses

  • Free cash flow was negative in fiscal 2025 because of heavy capacity investment 1.
  • Margins are sensitive to metal prices and labour costs, which rose in fiscal 2025 1.
  • The company relies on a complex global supply chain, where disruption in one link can affect all production 1.

Opportunities

  • Added capacity could allow better service of quick-turn demand and of customers in the EMS channel 2.
  • Targeted acquisitions and expansion in low-cost countries could strengthen market position 2.
  • Electrification and connectivity trends could generate additional long-term demand 1.

Threats

  • A cyclical industry can bring falling demand and excess capacity if investments are made too early 1.
  • Larger competitors with ample resources may cut prices or accelerate innovation 1.
  • Tariff and material-sourcing regulations can raise costs or reduce component availability 1.

Risks

  • Demand cyclicalityhigh

    The company cannot predict when downturns will come, and customers can reduce or cancel orders abruptly 1.

  • Capacity execution riskhigh

    Construction and ramp-up of wafer fabs can be delayed or overrun budgets, hurting yields 1.

  • Precious metal price volatilitymedium

    Prices of gold, copper and palladium can produce losses on unfavourable purchase commitments 1.

  • Supply chain disruptionmedium

    Suppliers can limit supply, raise prices or delay deliveries, which could halt production 1.

  • Acquisition and restructuring risklow

    Integration of acquired businesses can fail, and restructuring costs are recognised as expenses 1.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • Broad-based demand across end markets and a book-to-bill above one suggest the growth cycle could continue if guidance holds 3.
  • Capacity that is largely in place could let the company capture an upturn without major near-term spending 2.
  • Leadership in niches such as power resistors and low-voltage MOSFETs gives a more robust margin base 1.

What would break the thesis

  • Free cash flow was negative in fiscal 2025 and planned 2026 investment remains substantial, which could limit returns 12.
  • Gross margins trail some larger competitors, and metal price pressure could return 13.
  • If the industry enters a new cyclical decline, excess capacity could weigh on results in coming years 1.

Products, market & competition

AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.

The business

Vishay designs, manufactures and markets electronic components covering semiconductors (MOSFETs, diodes, optoelectronic components) and passive components (resistors, inductors, capacitors). Its products are used by virtually all major electronics manufacturers worldwide 1. In fiscal 2025 net revenues were 3.069 billion USD 1.

Segments

Semiconductors

The MOSFET, diode and optoelectronic segments cover power control, power conversion and signal switching. Siliconix is the main MOSFET brand, where Vishay is a leader in low-voltage TrenchFET technology 1.

Passive components

The resistor, inductor and capacitor segments supply components for current limiting, filtering and energy storage. Many of these products are certified for niche markets such as automotive and aerospace 1.

Market context

The company serves automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace and healthcare markets 1. According to the August 2026 release, demand strengthened across all end markets, channels and regions, and the book-to-bill ratio was 1.32 in the second quarter of 2026 3.

Guidance for the third quarter of 2026 calls for revenues between 945 million and 975 million USD and a gross margin of 24.0% 3. Higher capacity could support these figures if demand stays strong, although management acknowledges that industry growth has been slower than expected 2.

Trends

  • Electrification and automationtailwind

    The company points to vehicle electrification, factory automation and smart-grid infrastructure as drivers of future demand 1. If these trends accelerate, they could support faster growth than over the last decade 1.

  • Industry cyclicalityheadwind

    The electronic components industry is highly cyclical, and the company says it cannot predict when downturns will occur 1. Capacity added during upturns may become excess when demand recedes 1.

  • Metals costs and tariffsmixed

    Prices of metals such as gold, copper and palladium are volatile, and tariffs weighed on margins in fiscal 2025 1. Tariff refunds received in 2026 were partly passed through to customers 3.

Competitive position

The company operates in a highly competitive worldwide market with low transportation costs and few import barriers. Its major competitors, some of them larger than Vishay, have significant financial and technological resources 1.

Vishay's advantage lies in its broad product line, which allows one-stop-shop sourcing for customers, and in its field application engineers near customers 1. If competitors broaden their portfolios or cut costs, the company's position could be affected 1.

  • Larger diversified component makers

    The source refers to competitors larger than Vishay with substantial financial and technological resources, without naming them 1.

  • Discrete semiconductor producers

    Competition in MOSFETs and diodes comes from suppliers with comparable technology, not named explicitly in the sources provided 1.

  • Passive component manufacturers

    A group of producers offering resistors, capacitors and inductors sells into similar markets, not named in the sources provided 1.

  • Subcontracted capacity providers

    Contract manufacturers of commodity components may also act as market alternatives, though the sources do not name them 1.
