Factors to Consider

During the fourth quarter, Vishay is likely to have gained across end-markets served from a robust portfolio of resistors, inductors, capacitors, diodes, MOSFETs and opto products.

Robustness in the resistor product line is anticipated to have continued aiding the auto industrial, mill and medical market segments.

The company’s capacitor business holds a strong position in American and European markets. This is expected to have remained a positive factor in the to-be-reported quarter.

The rising adoption of MOSFETs in automotive is expected to have continued benefiting its performance in the quarter under review.

The growing demand for Opto electronic offerings is anticipated to have contributed well to the top line in the fourth quarter.

Strength in industrial markets is expected to have continued driving the company’s performance in all regions served.

Factory automation, power transmission systems and alternative energy systems are expected to have boosted the industrial sector in the quarter under review.

Further, the rising demand for 5G base station equipment is anticipated to have propelled the telecom sector.

Strengthening global distribution due to an increase in orders might have benefited Vishay’s to-be-reported quarterly performance.

Yet, uncertainties related to the coronavirus pandemic are expected to have been headwinds. Also, supply-chain constraints might have remained concerns.

Further, sluggishness in the automotive sector is likely to have affected the company’s quarterly performance.
