Two US-Listed Tech Stocks Worth Considering at Current Levels – VSH, CRSR

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.

VSH Details

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) is a Fortune 1,000 company focused on manufacturing discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components for innovative designs in the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical industries worldwide. It generates revenue from six primary segments, i.e., MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor), Diodes, Optoelectronic Components (OPTO), Resistors, Inductors, and Capacitors.

Q2FY21 Revenue Segregation by Segments (Investor Presentation, August 2021)

New & Enhanced Product Offerings: On September 22, 2021, VSH improved the Vishay Draloric RCC1206 e3 thick film chip resistor in the 1206 case size with a better power rating of 0.5 W. When compared to a regular thick film chip resistor of the same size, the improved chip provides 2x the power, allowing designers to save space and money in automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and medical applications.

On September 15, 2021, the company launched the Vishay Dale Thin Film PHPA series of AEC-Q200 approved high power thin film wraparound chip resistors. The new series devices combine a self-passivated tantalum nitride film for enhanced moisture resistance with power ratings of 1.0 W and 2.5 W in the 1206 and 2512 case sizes, respectively.

Q2FY21 Results: The company's net revenues increased 40.81% in Q2FY21 (ended July 03, 2021) to USD 819.12 million, compared to USD 581.72 million in Q2FY20 (ended July 04, 2020), primarily due to the continued recovery in demand that started in October 2020. Net earnings (attributable to common shareholders) for Q2FY21 increased to USD 93.19 million from USD 24.65 million in Q2FY20. As of July 03, 2021, the company had cash & cash equivalents (including short-term investments) of USD 855.79 million and total debt of USD 454.03 million.

Key Risks: The company operates in a highly cyclical electronic component industry, which is susceptible to unpredictable declines and downturns from time to time. In addition, most of the raw materials that VSH uses are produced by limited suppliers across the globe. Hence, the company's results of operations may be affected if it faces any issues in obtaining these raw materials in required quantities, if their quality is not up to standard, or if the suppliers increase their prices.

Outlook: In its Q2FY21 release, the company stated that it expects its Q3FY21 revenues to range from USD 810 to 850 million, with a gross margin of 28.3% (+/- 50 basis points) assuming Q2FY21 exchange rates.

VSH Daily Technical Chart (Source: REFINITIV)

Stock Recommendation: VSH's stock price decreased 20.54% in the past six months and is currently close to the mid-point of its 52-week range of USD 15.74 to USD 26.50. The stock is currently trading below its 50 and 200 DMA levels, and its RSI Index is at 41.71. We have valued the stock using the EV/EBITDA-based relative valuation methodology and arrived at a target price of USD 25.45. Considering the significant correction in the stock price, decent profit margins, continuous product launches, current valuation, and associated risks, we recommend a "Buy" rating on the stock at the current price of USD 20.27, down 0.98% as of October 04, 2021, 1:04 PM ET.
