Analysis · VSH · Manufacturing
Vishay delivered a strong Q2, with adjusted revenue of $919 million beating the high end of its guidance, and set Q3 revenue guidance at $945–$975 million — well above the current run rate. The sequential growth and bullish outlook signal that the upcycle is gaining momentum, which matters because the company recently raised $750 million in a dilutive offering to fund capacity expansion. If demand materializes as guided, that capital deployment could pay off, but the stock is trading well below the $50 offering price, raising questions about near-term dilution overhang.
