AI Analysis

I look for a durable business selling below intrinsic value. Vishay is a 22,600-employee maker of discrete semiconductors and passive components, a cyclical industry where pricing and factory utilization matter enormously. In fiscal 2023, the year ended 2023-12-31, it earned $323.8M on $3.4B of revenue. Then fiscal 2024, the year ended 2024-12-31, produced a $31.1M net loss on $2.9B of revenue, and fiscal 2025, the year ended 2025-12-31, a $9.0M net loss on $3.1B of revenue. That decline explains FairStock's Lynch category: TURNAROUND, loss in the latest year after earlier profits. Recent filings show improvement: in fiscal Q1 2026, the quarter ended 2026-04-04, net income was $7.2M on $839.2M of revenue, and in fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-07-04, net income was $28.1M on $888.6M of revenue, a 3.17% net margin. Still, trailing free cash flow is -$7.0M, ROE is 1.13%, ROCE is 0.80%, and Altman Z is 1.99. Debt/equity of 0.38 is manageable, but this is not a fortress. At the 2026-10-13 close of $31.76, FairStock's P/E is 158.80, P/B is 1.67, EV/EBITDA is 13.16, and its Graham Number is $9.24, implying a -243.72% margin of safety. PEG of 0.16 looks cheap only if the rebound persists. Piotroski is 6/9. With a beta of 1.80 and a 52-week range of $11.77 to $69.47, I would demand proof that Q2's margin is durable, not a cyclical bounce. Without a margin of safety, this is recovery speculation, not classic value.

In plain English: Vishay makes chips and electronic parts used in many devices. The business has been weak lately, with losses in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, but results improved in the first half of 2026. At $31.76, the stock looks expensive compared with the small profits reported over the last year, so the price appears to assume a strong recovery.
