On July 13, Vishay Intertechnology fell 5.26% in pre-market trading, trading at $42.83/share, with turnover of $261,000.
On the news front, the company completed the pricing of a $750 million common stock public offering on July 6, issuing 15 million shares at $50 per share. Since the offering, the stock has remained under sustained pressure, now trading more than 14% below the $50 issue price. The share dilution effect and market selling pressure from the offering have yet to be fully absorbed.
Compounding the downward pressure, the electronic components sector is experiencing broad weakness, with peer stocks Coherent down 3.54%, Corning down 3.08%, and Amphenol down 0.84%, creating negative sector-wide linkage that has intensified selling in individual names. The company previously announced it plans to use offering proceeds to accelerate growth initiatives, reduce borrowings under its senior secured credit facility, and for general corporate purposes. Vishay is scheduled to report second quarter results on August 5.
