Vicor Corporation reported third‑quarter 2026 results on Oct. 20, 2026. Revenue reached $197.1 million, up 37.5% sequentially and 78.5% year‑over‑year, while GAAP EPS was $1.33, beating estimates by $0.04. Net income was $63.3 million and cash and cash equivalents rose to about $513.1 million. The company announced a 10% sequential increase in product revenue and at least $43 million of royalty revenue for Q4, driven by capacity expansion and new VPD licensing.

The earnings beat and strong revenue growth suggest higher near‑term profitability, which may support a higher share price (the stock rose 4.9%‑7.6% after the release). The Q4 guidance of 10% product‑revenue growth and $43 million royalty revenue provides a concrete outlook for investors (the company expects).
