Vishay Intertechnology (VSH) rises after Q1 revenue and profit beat estimates

Vishay Intertechnology (VSH) rose 4.6% to $35.20 after the semiconductor components maker reported first-quarter 2026 results above Wall Street expectations and issued stronger-than-expected revenue guidance. Revenue rose 17.3% year over year to $839.2 million, beating analyst estimates by 1.4%. GAAP earnings were $0.05 per share, topping consensus by $0.02. The company guided second-quarter revenue to $890 million at the midpoint, 1.6% above estimates and implying 16.8% year-over-year growth. The results marked Vishay’s fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, suggesting the company is benefiting from a semiconductor upcycle. Analysts expect revenue to grow 12% over the next 12 months, still below the sector average. Inventory remains a potential concern: days inventory outstanding was 109, 10 days above the company’s five-year average.
