Vishay Intertechnology is an established global manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and passive components, serving essential roles in automotive and industrial sectors. The company’s primary strength lies in its extensive, diversified product portfolio, which helps mitigate cyclicality. Growth is tied to secular demand trends, particularly in electric vehicle electrification and renewable energy infrastructure. However, the company faces risks from intense global pricing competition, cyclical demand swings, and the need for ongoing operational efficiency improvements. It is likely best suited for value or dividend-focused investors, with ongoing developments in the 'Vishay 3.0' strategic initiative and automotive demand cycles serving as key factors to monitor.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
VSH receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
VSH has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+71.2%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -2.9%), moderate revenue growth (+4.5%), weak profitability (net margin -0.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
VSH's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 27.6%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is VSH's strongest growth driver at +71.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+39.2%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+4.5%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 110.4% and approximately 99.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.23% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

State Street Corp 3.24%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
VSH generates approximately $194 of gross profit, $19 of operating income, and $-29 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Negative free cash flow explains the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 135.19%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
VSH has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
