Vicor’s shares got a jolt after its Feb. 19 earnings and 2026 guidance, both driven by surging high-performance compute demand and a push in licensing. “Rising demand … should lead to a record year for Vicor’s product revenues,” Chief Executive Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli said. He also pointed to a record-setting 2026 for Vicor’s IP licensing business: “Vicor’s IP licensing practice is set to achieve record revenues in 2026.” https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/02/19/3241543/0/en/Vicor-Corporation-Reports-Results-for-the-Fourth-Quarter-and-Year-Ended-December-31-2025.html
Vicor turned in fourth-quarter net income of $46.5 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, with product revenue climbing 15.3% year over year to $92.7 million. Royalty revenue dropped from the previous quarter, which had benefited from a “catch up” payment, according to the company. Net income for the quarter reflected a $27.3 million tax benefit from deferred tax assets. https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/vicor-corporation-reports-results-fourth-quarter-and-year-ended-december-31-2025-2026
Insider moves are drawing attention, too. Director Shen Zheng John exercised options and offloaded 2,503 shares on Feb. 23, fetching roughly $175.96 apiece, according to an SEC Form 4. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/751978/000194113226000001/xslF345X05/primary_doc.xml
Claudio Tuozzolo, Corporate Vice President, unloaded 4,469 shares at roughly $174.60 each that day, according to a separate Form 4. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/751978/000140354026000001/xslF345X05/primary_doc.xml
Vicor’s high-density power conversion parts turn up in high-performance computing and industrial gear. Licensing fees from its intellectual property also factor into its revenue, a combination that can send its quarterly results bouncing around.
The risk is right there. Vicor’s most recent quarter got a boost from a sizable tax benefit, but management has already warned that royalty revenue may jump around depending on timing. Flip through the company’s annual report—legal exposures and shifting demand are just a few of the bigger-picture threats that could derail growth plans in a hurry. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/751978/000095017025030619/vicr-20241231.htm
Traders are watching to see if Tuesday’s spike holds when markets kick off at 9:30 a.m. EST. They’re also on alert for fresh details on the intellectual-property issue the company flagged in its outlook.
Vicor’s upcoming earnings report—slated for around April 28—is the next potential mover on the market calendar. https://www.investing.com/equities/vicor-corp-earnings
