VPG Posts Q2 Loss, But Record AI Orders and Humanoid Robot Win Signal Growth
VPG has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $25.58.
Summary
VPG reported a Q2 net loss of $0.13 per share, missing expectations as unfavorable FX and delayed shipments hit profits. Revenue grew 11.7% to $83.9M, slightly missing estimates, while adjusted EPS fell to $0.04 from $0.21 a year ago. Orders surged to $95.5M, a book-to-bill of 1.14, driven by record demand for precision resistors in AI, data center, and defense applications. The company also secured a vendor nomination from a humanoid robotics customer, with production ramp expected in H2 2026. Management now expects organic revenue growth above the prior 8-10% target for fiscal 2026. The stock may react to the earnings miss, but the order strength and robotics win could offset near-term concerns.
