    Listen to the news

    Vicor (VICR) is back in focus after granting a non-exclusive license that allows a new OEM to source Vertical Power Delivery modules for high-performance AI and networking hardware from multiple suppliers.

    Recent trading reflects that story. Vicor’s share price is now at $290.68, with a 1 month share price return of 54.88% and a year to date share price return of 148.74%, while the 1 year total shareholder return is very large at about 5x. Momentum has accelerated further in recent weeks as the VPD licensing deal and upgraded earnings expectations have shifted how investors are pricing future opportunity and risk.

    Most Popular Narrative: 25% Undervalued

    Vicor's most followed narrative pegs fair value at $386.25, well above the last close at $290.68. This puts the recent run against a still sizable implied upside in that framework.

    The analysts have a consensus price target of $386.25 for Vicor based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.

    However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $450.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $320.0.

    See why 27 investors see Vicor as 25% undervalued.

    Result: Fair Value of $386.25 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, the bullish Vicor story depends on orders and licensing holding up. Any prolonged demand softness or weaker settlement activity could quickly challenge that fair value case.
