Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) is one of the Best Semiconductor Stocks to Buy Under $20. On July 30, the company introduced a new series of uni/bidirectional 1500 W surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressors (TVS) in the SMB (DO-214AA) package. In a bid to cater to the demands of automotive applications, the Vishay General Semiconductor T15BxxA and T15BxxCA series are AEC-Q101 qualified and provide high temperature operation to +185 °C. In comparison to TVS in the SMC (DO-214AB) package, the Automotive Grade devices, which have been released, offer a 58% smaller footprint to save board space and lower system costs.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) executed well during Q1 2025 on its strategic levers to fuel faster revenue growth and improve profitability. The company remains well-placed to navigate the evolving tariff policies and any sort of demand uncertainties. Irrespective of the direction global trade actions take, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH)’s global manufacturing footprint provides it with flexibility to assure customers of a reliable supply if they decide to shift orders based on country of origin and tariff impact.

With the ongoing execution of strategic levers, Vishay 3.0 remains in a better position to participate in a market upturn and to exploit demand momentum in AI and smart grid infrastructure. Under Vishay 3.0, the company is in close contact with its customers, focusing on minimizing the impacts of macroeconomic uncertainties. Investment management company First Pacific Advisors recently released its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:

“Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) makes passive electronic components and discrete semiconductors (resistors, inductors, capacitors, MOSFETs, diodes, etc). Although the industry is cyclical, competitive dynamics are stable and VSH benefits from incremental growth from electric vehicles and industrial electrification. The industry is currently struggling from a cyclical downturn following the excesses and component hoarding of the Covid era. Additionally, at its April 2024 Investor Day, Vishay announced very aggressive 2028 investment and profitability targets with a plan to strategically change the company’s culture that was notably staid and overly-conservative. We are cautiously optimistic about Vishay’s growth plans and have been adding to the position during this cyclical weakness.”

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) is engaged in manufacturing and selling discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components.
