On September 4, Vicor rose 5.17% in regular trading, trading at $187.8/share, with turnover of approximately $9.80 million. The rally was driven by a combination of the company's newly announced share repurchase program, broad sector strength, and robust fundamental support.
On August 28, Vicor disclosed that its board approved a $150 million stock buyback program with no expiration date, replacing the previously authorized plan. The open-ended authorization signals management's confidence in the company's intrinsic value. Meanwhile, the Electrical Components & Equipment sector saw broad-based gains, with ChargePoint up 4.74%, Eaton up 2.62%, and Vertiv Holdings up 2.50%, providing favorable sector tailwinds.
Underpinning the move, Vicor's second-quarter results reported on July 21 showed EPS of $1.04, beating the consensus estimate of $0.64 by 62.5%. Revenue reached $143.4 million versus expectations of $138.4 million, while backlog surged 145% year-over-year, reflecting strong demand from AI server and high-performance computing applications.
