'Macy's Touted A Metric That Ended Up Being Juiced For Years' - Bloomberg

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSH#NYSE">VSH</a>) stock gained after analyst Ming-Chi Kuo <a href="https://medium.com/@mingchikuo/vishay-the-hidden-key-winner-in-nvidias-ai-servers-and-rtx-50-series-supply-chain-vishay-3-0-526aec187854" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">commented on the stock</a> on social media.
While the tech industry focuses on NVIDIA Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) AI server and RTX 50 series supply chain, Kuo&#8217;s research reveals Vishay as the hidden key winner.&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to the analyst, Vishay has secured better-than-expected orders for Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell AI servers (GB200 series and DGX/HGX B200) and RTX 50 series graphics cards.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42193222/orange-taps-openai-meta-to-create-ai-that-speaks-african-languages" rel="noreferrer noopener">Meta, OpenAI, Orange Join Forces To Build AI Models For African Languages</a>
The component orders include MOSFET/DrMOS (VRPower), vPolyTan (Polymer Tantalum, such as T55) and Current Shunt Resistors. Kuo said MOSFET and vPolyTan deserve special attention.
He noted that for GB200 NVL72/36&#8217;s 8kW 54V-to-12V power supply, Nvidia switched to a Renesas (controller) and Vishay (MOSFET) combination, replacing power management modules from Flextronics and Delta.
Notably, Vishay replaced Infineon as the current MOSFET supplier. For DGX/HGX&#8217;s 2kW 54V-to-12V power supply, Nvidia now uses ADI (controller) and Vishay (MOSFET), Kuo flagged.
The GB200 NVLink Switch&#8217;s 2kW 54V-to-12V power supply also uses the Renesas (controller) and Vishay (MOSFET) combination.
The analyst noted that Vishay became the new DrMOS supplier for Nvidia&#8217;s upcoming RTX 50 series graphics cards. Mass production will start in the first quarter of 2025.
Vishay&#8217;s current MOSFET production capacity in 2025 is fully loaded, and it will likely contribute 20%–30% of revenue, with a higher-than-average gross profit margin, as per the analyst.
GB200 heavily utilizes Vishay&#8217;s vPolyTan (polymer tantalum capacitors, primarily T55). Vishay&#8217;s vPolyTan is already facing a supply crunch for 2025 and will likely contribute a high single-digit percentage of revenue with significantly above-average gross margins.
Vishay has the potential to capitalize on robust demand for Nvidia&#8217;s AI servers and the new RTX 50 series. He noted the company is also well-positioned to benefit from the automotive sector&#8217;s rebound and the IoT market.
Price Actions: VSH stock is up 7.12% at $18.35 at last check Tuesday. NVDA is up 0.51% at $136.75.
