Vishay Precision Group (NYSE:VPG) Releases Earnings Results, Misses Expectations By $0.15 EPS

Vishay Precision Group (NYSE:VPG) announced its earnings results on Wednesday. The scientific and technical instruments company reported $0.04 earnings per share for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.19 by ($0.15), FiscalAI reports. Vishay Precision Group had a net margin of 1.85% and a return on equity of 2.28%. The company had revenue of $83.94 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $87.44 million.

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

• Order momentum remained strong, with $95.5 million in Q2 orders, a 1.14 consolidated book-to-bill ratio, and a 1.44 ratio in Sensors—the seventh consecutive quarter at or above 1.0. Management said 2026 organic revenue growth should exceed its 8%–10% annual target.
• Sensors revenue rose 26% year over year, supported by demand from semiconductor equipment, AI infrastructure, fiber-optics communications, aerospace, and defense. VPG also received a formal vendor nomination from its initial humanoid robotics customer and is preparing for a production ramp expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
• The company expects to ship approximately $3 million of delayed KELK orders by the end of Q4 after resolving supply-chain disruptions related to a new ERP implementation. Q3 revenue guidance is $84 million–$89 million, assuming constant exchange rates and excluding profit-neutral tariff refunds.
• Q2 profitability was pressured by unfavorable foreign exchange, product mix, higher material and labor costs, and the KELK shipment delays. Adjusted operating margin was 1.7%, adjusted EBITDA declined to $5.5 million from $5.9 million sequentially, and adjusted free cash flow remained negative at $1.4 million.
• Weighing Solutions and Measurement Systems experienced softer or mixed demand, with book-to-bill ratios of 0.94 and approximately 0.97, respectively. Management expects some improvement in the second half, but said a significant recovery may depend on lower interest rates and inflation.
