Valuation Metrics
Fundamental Analysis
Key Financial Insights: ⢠Strong liquidity ⢠Negative annual FCF ⢠High tangible book Vishay shows solid balance-sheet and liquidity with tangible book value well above market price, modest EV/EBITDA valuation, but weak FY profitability, negative annual FCF driven by high capex, and dependence on margin recovery to realize shareholder value.

Key News Insights: ⢠Rugged space-grade ⢠Automotive components ⢠Institutional stake increase Vishay is accelerating launches of rugged, miniaturized space- and automotive-grade components while drawing increased institutional investment ahead of its 2026 annual meeting.
AI Summary
Vishay has moved from a value/book recovery story to an executionâdependent, capexâheavy growth bet where upside now requires the Newport MOSFET ramp to drive durable grossâmargin expansion and multiâquarter positive free cash flow while capex slows; investors should therefore monitor (1) consecutive quarterly positive FCF and margin improvement tied to Newport yields, (2) inventory trends and capex cadence, and (3) any signs of leverage or revolver draws that would constrain optionality. If those metrics aren't met within a few quarters, the tangibleâbook cushion will erode and the stock is vulnerable to sharp multiple compression.
