Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (VSH): one to watch?

Demand is genuinely strong, but the drop reflects a real, not fake, profitability problem — thin margins, high taxes and negative free cash flow ahead.

Why VSH dropped

Vishay reported Q2 2026 earnings on Aug 5 that beat on EPS but missed on revenue, and management guided to negative full-year free cash flow due to heavy capacity spending plus an elevated tax rate (33.7%, guided 35-40% next quarter) that is eating into profits despite strong order growth.
