Vicor stock (ISIN US9258151029) was last at USD 308.90 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 14.0 billion. The company lifted its Q3 sequential revenue-growth guidance to more than 30 percent from more than 20 percent on September 30, 2026.
Royalties lift the Q3 outlook
According to Nasdaq, Vicor attributed the guidance increase to higher royalties from its first non-exclusive Vertical Power Delivery, or VPD, license. The change raises the near-term hurdle for the power-conversion specialist because the company must convert licensing income and rising demand into reported Q3 revenue.
The guidance has a clear numerical progression. The prior threshold was more than 20 percent sequential growth, while the September 30 update set the new threshold above 30 percent, a minimum increase of 10 percentage points in the stated outlook.
Q2 revenue reached USD 143.352 million
GlobeNewswire reported that Vicor's Q2 2026 revenue reached USD 143.352 million, up 26.9 percent from USD 113.0 million in Q1 2026. Diluted EPS was USD 1.04, compared with USD 0.44 in Q1, while gross margin rose to 58.0 percent from 55.2 percent.
The balance-sheet picture also improved through the quarter. Operating cash flow reached USD 34.139 million in Q2 2026 after a USD 3.942 million operating cash outflow in Q1, and backlog rose to USD 380 million from USD 301 million, according to the same Q2 release.
Analyst target stays above the stock
According to MarketBeat on October 1, 2026, Needham raised its target from USD 320.00 to USD 350.00 and maintained a Buy rating. MarketBeat also reported a Moderate Buy consensus from five analysts, with an average target of USD 391.67, implying that the consensus target lies 26.8 percent above the October 2 price.
The counterweight is valuation sensitivity. MarketBeat reported insider sales and described the stock's elevated valuation as a risk, while the 52-week range from USD 48.53 to USD 382.65 shows how far the current price sits below its yearly high.
