VICR - Vicor Corporation

Vicor Corporation designs and manufactures power components and power systems, including its Factorized Power Architecture (FPA) modules, VI Chip converters, and BCM (Bus Converter Module) products used to deliver efficient power in high-density applications. The customer base is primarily OEM engineers and procurement teams in data centers, AI computing infrastructure, defense, and industrial electronics, with a B2B direct and distribution sales model. Vicor generates approximately $350-400M in annual revenue, with the majority derived from North American and Asian markets, particularly driven by hyperscaler and defense demand.

Past Year Trends

• Vicor FY2025 product revenue grew 12.1% YoY to $350.3M and royalty revenue rose 23.2% to $57.4M; a $45M one-time patent litigation settlement lifted total revenue to $452.7M and swung EPS from $0.14 in FY2024 to $2.63 in FY2025. (Bullish)
• Q1 2026 total revenue reached $113.0M, up 20.2% YoY and 5.3% sequentially from Q4 2025, with backlog increasing sharply as record AI data-center demand drove outsized orders for Vicor's high-density power conversion modules. (Bullish)
• Development of Vicor's second-generation Vertical Power Delivery (VPD) system took longer than anticipated, delaying initial delivery to the lead hyperscale customer and pushing meaningful VPD production revenue from 2025 into 2026. (Bearish)

Next Year Trends

• Completion and initial customer delivery of Vicor's second-generation high-density Vertical Power Delivery system to a lead hyperscale AI customer is the primary near-term revenue catalyst, with subsequent demo systems slated for major processor chip companies and additional hyperscalers in 2026. (Bullish)
• Management announced plans for a second fabrication facility in response to accelerating AI data-center demand and a sharply growing backlog, with the construction representing both a multi-year capacity unlock and a near-term capital expenditure headwind to free cash flow. (Neutral)
• Significant insider stock sales following the Q1 2026 earnings beat, when shares rose 11.2% post-report, create near-term share price overhang risk even as the company guides for record product and licensing revenues in full-year 2026. (Bearish)
