Vicor (ISIN US9258151029) lifted its third-quarter 2026 sequential revenue-growth guidance to more than 30 percent from more than 20 percent on September 30, 2026, according to Vicor Corporation. The company cited increased royalties from its first non-exclusive license for Vertical Power Delivery technology.

Guidance rises on licensing revenue

The change marks the second increase to Vicor's third-quarter outlook during the quarter, with licensing income adding a new variable to the revenue mix. The September 30 release links the higher guidance to royalties from a previously announced license with an artificial intelligence original equipment manufacturer.

For investors, the comparison is more important than the threshold alone: the sequential growth outlook moved from more than 20 percent to more than 30 percent. Vicor's license-based revenue therefore adds operating leverage, but the guidance remains a growth rate rather than a fixed dollar forecast.
