Another View: Sales Multiple Signals a Richer Price
Analysts using a DCF style narrative see fair value closer to $17.50, but the current market is setting its own terms. On a P/S ratio of 2.2x, Vishay Intertechnology trades below the US Electronic industry average of 3.2x and below the peer average of 4.1x, yet above an estimated fair ratio of 1.9x.
This mix of an apparent discount versus peers, but a premium to a fair ratio the market could move toward, leaves an important question for you: is the recent share price surge a reset to a new range or a step ahead of the fundamentals?
