Vicor Corporation reported strong third-quarter growth on October 20, 2026, while outlining a major manufacturing expansion. In its financial press release, the company said product and royalty revenue reached 197.1 million US dollars for the quarter ended September 30, up 78.5 percent from a year earlier.

Revenue and backlog accelerate

Vicor's gross margin increased to 68.3 percent from 57.5 percent in the year-earlier quarter. Net income rose to 63.3 million US dollars, or 1.33 US dollars per diluted share, compared with 28.3 million US dollars, or 0.63 US dollars, a year earlier.

Backlog stood at 406 million US dollars at the end of September, 7 percent above the second quarter and 166 percent higher than a year earlier. The company also reported 513.1 million US dollars in cash and cash equivalents at quarter-end.

Capacity expansion targets demand

Chief Executive Officer Patrizio Vinciarelli said Vicor had purchased two additional sites within 30 miles of its ChiP Fab-1 facility in Andover, Massachusetts. Together, the three fabs could provide nearly five times Fab-1's capacity, which management described as necessary in view of demand and industry trends.

For investors, the expansion links Vicor's strong order momentum with a significant execution requirement. Higher production capacity could support future demand, while the timing and cost of the build-out remain important factors for margins and cash deployment.
