Another View: Vishay Intertechnology Through The Sales Lens

There is a twist. While the SWS DCF model flags Vishay Intertechnology as trading about 43.7% below an estimated future cash flow value of $57.77, the market is already asking for a P/S of 1.5x versus a fair ratio of 1.3x.

That current P/S is cheaper than the US Electronic industry on 2.8x and peers at 3.2x, yet still ahead of where the fair ratio suggests the multiple could drift over time. Is this a margin of safety or a sign that expectations already run hot?
