What Is The Market Telling Us
Vishay Intertechnology’s shares are very volatile and have had 24 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 2 days ago when the stock gained 7.6% as the VanEck Semiconductor ETF jumped nearly 5% in response to the de-escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict.
The sector rallied specifically because semiconductors were highly vulnerable to the supply chain disruptions that occurred during the war. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is a critical victory for the industry, as the waterway is essential for the transit of noble gases and materials used in chip fabrication.
Vishay Intertechnology is up 47.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $22.54 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Despite the year-to-date gain, investors who bought $1,000 worth of Vishay Intertechnology’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at only $888.60.
