Read MoreHide Full Article
Vishay Intertechnology (VSH - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $19.56, moving +0.39% from the previous trading session. This change outpaced the S&P 500's 0.11% gain on the day. Meanwhile, the Dow gained 0.04%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, added 0.19%.
Coming into today, shares of the chipmaker had gained 5.81% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector gained 6.07%, while the S&P 500 gained 4.42%.
VSH will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be May 9, 2019. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.50, up 25% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $750 million, up 4.63% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $2.16 per share and revenue of $3.05 billion. These totals would mark changes of +1.89% and +0.48%, respectively, from last year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for VSH should also be noted by investors. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection remained stagnant. VSH currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that VSH has a Forward P/E ratio of 9.02 right now. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 16.5, which means VSH is trading at a discount to the group.
We can also see that VSH currently has a PEG ratio of 0.98. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. The Semiconductor - Discretes industry currently had an average PEG ratio of 1.1 as of yesterday's close.
The Semiconductor - Discretes industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 100, putting it in the top 40% of all 250+ industries.
