Not a good buy right now for an impatient buyer. The trend is bullish, but VSH is short-term extended (RSI_6 78.6) and sitting near resistance (20.57), while pattern-based stats skew negative over the next week/month. With earnings on 2026-02-04 (pre-market) and no Intellectia buy signals today, the risk/reward for entering immediately is unattractive.
Trend is currently bullish: SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200 and MACD histogram (+0.215) is above zero and expanding, signaling positive momentum. However, RSI_6 at 78.6 suggests the stock is overbought/extended in the very near term. Price (20.05) is above the pivot (18.98) and around/just above R1 (19.96), with the next resistance at R2 (20.57). That positioning implies upside may be capped near-term unless it cleanly breaks and holds above ~20.57. Support to watch: pivot ~18.98 then S1 ~18.00. Intellectia Proprietary Trading Signals: Intellectia Proprietary Trading Signals - AI Stock Picker: No signal on given stock today. - SwingMax: No signal on given stock today. Short-horizon probability model provided also leans bearish: ~50% chance of -3.22% next day, -7.9% next week, -5.95% next month.
Product/news catalyst: Vishay launched five new 1200V SiC MOSFET power modules (2026-01-28), which supports the long-term power/industrial growth narrative.
Technical trend remains upward (bullish moving average stack; positive MACD).
Options skew is bullish (low put/call ratios).
Near-term technical stretch: RSI indicates overbought conditions and price is near resistance (~20.57), increasing pullback risk.
Earnings catalyst risk on 2026-02-04 (pre-market) with the stock already extended.
Latest quarter profitability/margins deteriorated (net loss, lower gross margin), which can weigh on the multiple.
Analyst skepticism exists (BofA Underperform) and the pattern-based short-term outlook provided skews negative.
No hedge fund/insider accumulation trend noted recently (both neutral).
Latest reported quarter: 2025/Q3. Revenue grew to $790.64M (+7.52% YoY), but profitability weakened: net income fell to -$7.876M (down -59.19% YoY), EPS -$0.06 (down -57.14% YoY), and gross margin declined to 19.46% (-5.17% YoY). Bottom line: top-line growth is present, but margin/earnings pressure is a clear negative trend going into the next earnings event.
Recent analyst actions are mixed-to-negative on VSH specifically. On 2026-01-22, BofA raised its price target to $16 (from $14) but maintained an Underperform rating—implying they see limited upside and remain cautious near-term despite improved estimates. Another note (2025-12-18) cites Lake Street initiating with a Buy and $44 target on 'Vishay Precision' (not clearly the same ticker as VSH), so it’s less directly supportive for VSH. Wall Street pro view: potential longer-term growth/margin improvement narrative exists, but the more directly relevant and recent stance here is still cautious/underperform.
