Vishay Precision Group (NYSE:VPG) Releases Earnings Results, Misses Estimates By $0.14 EPS

Vishay Precision Group (NYSE:VPG) posted its earnings results on Wednesday. The scientific and technical instruments company reported $0.07 EPS for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $0.21 by ($0.14), FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $80.57 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $78.08 million. Vishay Precision Group had a return on equity of 2.02% and a net margin of 2.65%.

Here are the key takeaways from Vishay Precision Group’s conference call:

• Q4 revenue was $80.6 million (+11% YoY) and the company reported its fifth consecutive quarter with a book-to-bill above 1; Sensors backlog is at a multi‑year high and management expects higher Sensor shipments beginning in Q2.
• Adjusted gross margin declined to 37% in Q4 due to roughly $3 million of one‑time headwinds (unfavorable product mix, inventory reductions, discrete manufacturing impacts) and FX; management expects gross‑margin improvement in Q1.
• Business‑development initiatives (humanoid robots, semiconductor equipment) produced $37.8 million of orders in 2025, above the $30 million goal, and the company is targeting $45 million in 2026 (≈20% growth) as Physical AI and humanoid demand ramps.
• VPG reorganized into two new offices (CBPO and COO) to centralize sales/product and operations, will incur about $3 million of incremental SG&A in 2026 for new IT/platforms, and expects meaningful cost savings (management cited a $6 million savings target), creating execution and timing risk.
• Financial position supports growth and M&A with $87.4 million cash (net cash ≈ $66.8 million) and available credit; management guided Q1 revenue to $74–$80 million and set 2026 CapEx of $14–$16 million.
