With the share price up sharply, trading above a trimmed US$17.50 analyst target and screening as expensive on some intrinsic measures, is Vishay still mispriced after its earnings turnround, or are investors already paying up for future growth?
Most Popular Narrative: 15.4% Overvalued
At $20.19, Vishay Intertechnology is trading above the most widely followed fair value estimate of $17.50, which is built on explicit revenue, margin and valuation assumptions.
The net profit margin assumption was reduced from 21.51% to 7.91%, marking a significant pullback in long run profitability assumptions despite the higher fair value estimate. The future P/E multiple was increased from 3.25x to 9.95x, signaling a meaningfully higher assumed valuation multiple on the company’s earnings power.
Curious how lower long term margins can still support a higher value? The narrative leans on reshaped revenue growth and a richer future earnings multiple. Want to see how those pieces fit together and what they imply for earnings power over time? Read the full narrative for the complete picture behind that $17.50 figure.
Result: Fair Value of $17.50 (OVERVALUED)

However, there are still questions around cash flow strain from heavy capacity spending and reliance on legacy products, which could pressure margins and challenge the fair value case.

Another View: Multiples Paint a Different Picture
While the narrative model suggests Vishay Intertechnology is overvalued at $20.19 versus a $17.50 fair value, its P/S ratio tells a different story. At 0.9x, it sits below the 1.1x fair ratio our work points to, and well below the US Electronic industry at 2.9x and peer average at 3.2x. That gap suggests the market could still be pricing in plenty of caution, so is the upside or the downside being misread here?
