▲(41.25% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:05/01/26
The score is driven primarily by strong financial quality (high profitability and very low leverage) and clear technical strength (price well above key moving averages with positive momentum). These positives are moderated by a premium valuation (P/E ~88.6) and execution/uncertainty factors highlighted on the earnings call (capacity constraints, legal/opex pressure, and limited near-term licensing upside baked into guidance).
Positive Factors
High Profitability & Margins
Sustained high gross and net margins indicate strong pricing power and differentiated, high-value power modules. These margins support durable cash generation and reinvestment capacity, helping the company fund R&D and capacity buildouts without relying on leverage.
Negative Factors
Capacity Constraints
Prolonged capacity limits can bottleneck revenue realization from existing backlog and bookings, forcing selective customer allocation. The timing and execution of capacity expansion determine whether demand converts into sustained growth or leads to lost design opportunities.

Vicor Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 21, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 28, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a strong operational and financial performance: sequential and year-over-year revenue growth, a sizable and rising backlog, robust bookings across HPC, industrial and defense, healthy cash on hand, affirmative guidance for 2026 revenue and margin expansion, and clear product/IP momentum with second-generation VPD and capacity expansion plans. Offsetting items include modest sequential margin pressure, higher operating and legal expenses, a sizeable one-time litigation cash outflow, inventory turns that warrant monitoring, and near-term uncertainty around incremental licensing revenue (management conservatively excluded new licenses from guidance until legal outcomes). Overall the positives — notably revenue growth, backlog/bookings strength, technology differentiation and guidance — materially outweigh the negatives.Positive Updates

Company Guidance
Vicor guided Q2 revenue of nearly $126 million and full‑year 2026 revenue of nearly $570 million (management expects margin expansion in 2026 and the guidance conservatively assumes no new licensing agreements until the second ITC case is finally resolved in 2027). That outlook builds on Q1 product and royalty revenue of $113.0 million (Advanced Products $64.9M, 57.5% of total; Brick Products $48.0M, 42.5%; Advanced +3.7% sequential, Brick +7.7% sequential), Q1 gross margin of 55.2% (‑20 bps sequential, +800 bps year‑over‑year), net income of $20.7M and GAAP diluted EPS of $0.44 on 47,254,000 fully diluted shares. Balance sheet and operating metrics cited in the call included cash and cash equivalents of $404.2M, accounts receivable net $67.4M (DSO 42 days), inventories $94.8M (annualized turns 2.1), Q1 cash used in operations $3.9M (which included a $28.6M litigation settlement), Q1 capex $12.4M, construction‑in‑progress ~$10.7M with ~$33.9M remaining to spend, Q1 book‑to‑bill above 2 and 1‑year backlog $300.6M (up 70% sequential), shipments to stocking distributors +0.5% sequential (+63.6% YoY), exports ~48.9% of revenue, and royalties running roughly $15M in Q1 (~$60M annualized) with the guidance including royalties from existing agreements but not assuming new license signings; Q1 tax benefit was ~$0.3M (effective tax rate ‑1.3%), though management expects a normalized rate nearer ~20% going forward.Vicor Financial Statement Overview
