The Quality factor evaluates the persistence and magnitude of realized cash flows. Companies with scores >70 exhibit superior pricing power and structural financial resilience through diverse economic regimes.
Our uncertainty rating tracks the predictability of future cash flows and potential for permanent capital loss. Moderate visibility with standard industry cyclicality.
Our model assigns VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC a Hold rating, with a composite score of 52.7/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1577 of 7,333 stocks, VSH presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 46/100, VSH shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -1.4% (sector avg: -2.5%), gross margins of 19.6% (sector avg: 42.5%), net margins of -1.0% (sector avg: -0.2%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
VSH's value score of 57/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 152.16x, a P/B ratio of 1.28x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC's investment score of 33/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 6.7% vs. a sector average of 5.9% and a return on assets of -0.7% (sector: -0.1%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
VSH demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 59/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 6.7% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.12 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
With a stability score of 52/100, VSH exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.12 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 46.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC's short interest score of 39/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 2.12), elevated leverage (D/E: 46.00x). At $2.0B (mid-cap), VSH carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
VSH pays a solid dividend yield of 2.7%, contributing an income component to total returns. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC is a mid-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1577 of 7,333 overall (78th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -1.4% exceeding the -2.5% sector median and operating margins of 0.7% below the 1.3% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While VSH currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF SEP 27, 2025 (Q2 FY2025)
We rate VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC (VSH) as a Hold with a composite score of 52.7/100 at a current price of $19.61. The stock presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to warrant new accumulation nor weak enough to justify selling for existing holders. Our factors are split, and the overall profile suggests patience is warranted.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in momentum (59th percentile) and value (57th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in investment (33th percentile) and quality (46th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a Narrow Moat rating (40/100), High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation.
Key items to watch: the path to profitability. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 52.7/100 places it at rank #1577 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $2.0B in market capitalization, VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC is a mid-cap player in the Manufacturing space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
Revenue is growing at 7%, though momentum at the 59th percentile suggests the market has not yet fully recognized this trajectory. This potential disconnect between fundamental improvement and market recognition could represent an opportunity for patient investors if the growth trend persists.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 20% (-22.9pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of 1% (-0.6pp vs sector) and net margins of -1.0%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of -5%. The significant margin erosion from gross to net suggests elevated operating expenses, high interest costs, or other structural drags that warrant monitoring.
At a current price of $19.61, VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 57/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. Valuation metrics are mixed, with no strong signal of mispricing in either direction.
The stock currently trades at EV/EBITDA of 152.2x (at a premium), P/B of 1.3x, P/S of 0.9x. We evaluate these multiples in the context of both absolute levels and sector-relative positioning to form our valuation view.
A 2.68% dividend yield provides income while you wait, and dividends historically account for a significant portion of total equity returns.
Thin net margins of -1.0% provide limited cushion against cost pressures, competitive pricing, or macroeconomic headwinds — even small changes in costs could swing the company to a loss.
High beta of 2.12 means amplified losses in market selloffs — in a broad market correction, this stock would likely decline more than the index.
We assign a High uncertainty rating to VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC. Key risk factors include elevated market sensitivity (beta of 2.12), current negative profitability (net margin -1.0%). The wide range of potential outcomes widens our fair value estimate and increases the possibility of permanent capital impairment. Investors considering this name should size positions accordingly and demand a meaningful margin of safety before initiating.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 2.12); current negative profitability (net margin -1.0%). Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 52th percentile and quality factor at the 46th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
Key risk mitigants include: a 2.68% dividend yield anchors total return. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile warrants caution and disciplined position management.
We rate VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC's capital allocation as Poor. Key concerns include low returns on equity (-1.4%), negative profitability, weak asset returns (ROA -0.7%). Exemplary capital allocators generate ROE above 20% and maintain conservative leverage — VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC significantly underperforms these benchmarks, raising questions about management's ability to create shareholder value.
Investors should scrutinize management's reinvestment decisions and balance sheet trajectory before committing capital. Poor capital allocation often compounds over time: overlevered balance sheets limit strategic flexibility, while low returns on capital destroy shareholder value. We would need to see sustained improvement in profitability metrics and balance sheet discipline before considering an upgrade.
In summary, VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC receives a Hold rating with a composite score of 52.7/100 (rank #1577 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a Narrow Moat (40/100, trend: stable), High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 50/100.
Our analysis supports a neutral stance on VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC. While the quantitative profile is not weak enough to warrant selling, it lacks the multi-factor strength required for a buy recommendation. Existing holders should maintain positions and monitor for catalysts — either fundamental improvement or valuation compression — that would shift the risk-reward balance.

We assign VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC a Narrow Moat rating with a composite moat score of 40/100. The ROIC-WACC spread of -1.7% is the primary signal of economic value creation. The company possesses identifiable competitive advantages, though they are less entrenched than those of wide-moat peers. Our analysis indicates that VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC can sustain above-average returns on invested capital for at least 10 years, with the strongest contributor being growth durability at 9.7/20.
The strongest moat sources are growth durability (9.7/20) and margin superiority (9.4/20). Rev growth 7%, 10yr history. GM 20% vs sector 43%, OM 1% vs sector 1%. These pillars form the core of VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC's competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include economic value creation (3.7/20) and reinvestment efficiency (7.4/20). ROIC 5.6% vs WACC 7.3% (spread -1.7%). Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC's moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include moderate revenue growth of 7%. The margin cascade from 20% gross to 1% operating to -1.0% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that profit quality is adequate though not exceptional, with the quality factor at the 46th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 20%, operating margins of 1%, net margins of -1.0%. Return metrics include ROE of -1.4% and ROA of -0.7%. Relative to the Manufacturing sector, gross margins are 22.9 percentage points below the sector median of 43%, and ROE of -1.4% compares to a sector median of -2.5%.
The balance sheet reflects moderate leverage with D/E of 46%, a dividend yield of 2.68%, revenue growth of 7%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC at higher leverage than the typical peer. Overall balance sheet health is adequate for the current business environment.
