Position among covered Industrials companies that report each metric (minimum 5 peers). A relative position within our covered catalog — not a valuation, quality, or investment judgment. A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Dividend coverage
Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which VICR reported a dividend payment is FY2011, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2011 ratio would not describe VICR today.
Coverage is derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures, comparing dividends paid against net income and free cash flow for the SAME fiscal year. It is not shown here because the latest fiscal year with a reported dividend payment (FY2011) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year. Informational only — not financial advice.

How Vicor Corporation looks technically
Vicor Corporation (VICR) is trading 8.2% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 267 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 28, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 38, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 8 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day low about 2 trading days ago. It is 46.6% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 8.2% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -8.2% |

| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $229.21 | $229.21 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $222.27 | $222.27 |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 19 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 19 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 267 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 267 sessions |

Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 38, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 37.6 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($183.91 to $331.00) — its "stochastic" reading is 14 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 13.8 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 8 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 8 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $382.54 | $382.54 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 46.6% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -46.6% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 277.5% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +277.6% |

| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 13 trading days ago | 13 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $382.54 (set on 2026-06-30) | $382.54 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($57.31 to $379.78), and it has given back around half of its rise from last year’s low — 54% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $170.17 to $180.49. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 54.5% |
| From the all-time high | it is 46.6% below its all-time high | -46.6% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 12.9% above a support level at $177.86 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-02-03, most recently on 2026-07-28. Since 2024-10-21 it has 10 such levels below the current price and 1 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -12.9% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $3.80 (set on 2008-11-21) | $3.80 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 5272.1% above its all-time low | +5,272% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are wider than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (wider than about 71% of it) | 71st percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $21.53 between its high and its low — about 10.6% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $21.53 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $193.19 and $338.58 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $193.19 – $265.88 – $338.58 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 10.6% in a typical session — among the most volatile in the catalog. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 10.6% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 0.8 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (8.2% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 0.8 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-20 0.4% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -0.4% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.2% below the previous close 2 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 219.92 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -2.2% |
| Gap filled | a 5.0% gap up opened on 2026-10-19 has been "filled" 1 session ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 1 session ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading inside the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-14 and projected forward over today's price, the zone traders read as unresolved — neither side has established a trend, and the band is where that gets settled. The band itself is thick, spanning 34.0% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | 0.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 10% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $227.83 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 198 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -10.4% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 10% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-21 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $226.59 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 65 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -9.9% |
Price levels it has turned at before
VICR last closed at $204.14 on 2026-10-20. Since 2024-10-21 it has turned at 10 prices below its last close and 1 above; the 3 nearest below and the nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $177.86 | Support | 12.9% below the last close | turned there twice · 2026-02-03 to 2026-07-28 |
| $232.28 | Resistance | 13.8% above the last close | turned there three times · 2026-04-29 to 2026-08-05 |
| $101.58 | Support | 50.2% below the last close | turned there twice · 2025-11-12 to 2025-12-11 |
| $52.86 | Support | 74.1% below the last close | turned there five times · 2024-11-29 to 2025-09-05 |
A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.

Short interest (FINRA)
VICR had 2,413,976 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-30 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for VICR because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 2,413,976
- Prior settlement (shares) 2,045,907
- Reported change 17.99%
- Days to cover (reported) 2.22
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-30 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
