Vicor Licenses VPD Tech to Leading AI OEM, Opening New Revenue Stream
VICR has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $47.56.
Summary
Vicor granted a non-exclusive license to a new OEM for its Vertical Power Delivery (VPD) technology, allowing the licensee to source VPD modules from unlicensed suppliers while earning royalty discounts on Vicor-made modules. This is the first disclosed licensing deal for VPD, a technology Vicor positions as critical for high-performance AI compute. The agreement validates Vicor's patent portfolio and creates a new royalty revenue stream, though financial terms are undisclosed. It follows strong Q2 results with $379.7M backlog and a $150M buyback authorization. Watch for additional licensees as AI OEMs adopt VPD.
