Analysis

Hope premium

Vicor Corporation carries what we call a hope premium: an average business trading at an ambitious price.

The price is expensive. You pay 105.8× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 29% yearly growth; analysts expect 30%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
