Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$311.3m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.94 in 2025.

The analysts made no major changes to their price target of US$30.25, suggesting the downgrades are not expected to have a long-term impact on Vishay Precision Group's valuation.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. We would highlight that Vishay Precision Group's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 1.1% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 4.5% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 7.3% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than Vishay Precision Group.

The Bottom Line

The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Vishay Precision Group. On the negative side, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$30.25, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Vishay Precision Group. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. We have analyst estimates for Vishay Precision Group going out as far as 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
