Vishay Intertechnology (VSH) Q1 Earnings Top, Revenues Up Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (VSH - Free Report) delivered first-quarter 2019 adjusted earnings of 51 cents per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1 cent. The figure surged 27.5% year over year but declined 12.1% sequentially.
Revenues increased 4% on a year-over-year basis but decreased 3.9% on a sequential basis to $745.16 million.
The company’s robust product portfolio, on account of strong performance of resistors & inductors, capacitors and MOSFET product lines during the reported quarter, drove year-over-year top-line growth.
Further, solid momentum across the end-markets also remained positive. However, the company continued to suffer from weak performance by opto products.
We note that the reported revenue figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $750 million.
Vishay’s book-to-bill ratio of the company was 0.79 at the end of the first quarter.
The company experienced normalization in its backlogs and inventories as supply has started to catch up with demand. This is likely to continue which in turn will impact the company’s revenues in the near term as a result of reduction in inventories by distributors.
Following the release of first quarter results, the stock has plunged 3.4%. Further, shares of Vishay have lost 18.2% over a year against the industry’s rally of 24.7%.
