How it trades on rate days

How VICR has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 1.23 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Vicor Corporation moved 1.23% on average · correlation 0.12 · higher than 92% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.87 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.36% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −2.51% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Vicor Corporation

VICR in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Vicor designs, manufactures, and markets modular power components and systems that convert electrical power for other equipment makers. Its range includes brick-format DC-DC converters, accessory parts for line rectification, filtering and power correction, and custom power system solutions. It supplies device makers across aerospace, defence, satellites, factory automation, test equipment, transport, and telecom networks. It is based in Andover, Massachusetts.
Where it sits in the stack
Vicor holds no seat in our index; it sits in the power electronics sleeve of our universe, supplying conversion modules that equipment builders integrate into their own systems rather than a layer tied to chip production itself.
Who it is priced against
The diary has not assigned Vicor a peer group; the market commonly sets it against other power semiconductor and module makers, such as Analog Devices, on the strength of overlapping conversion and power-management products.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Vicor carries no index seat in the diary. It does carry a Closelooknet score, but only one module has been scored so far, so the score is still being built; no editions or quotes are recorded for it.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether demand across its aerospace, defence, industrial, and telecom customer base firms into steadier order volumes.
