During Vicor Corporation's first quarter 2026 earnings call on April 21, 2026, Patrizio Vinciarelli, the company's Chief Executive Officer, discussed the company's financial results and strategic initiatives. He commented on the company's capacity expansion plans, stating that Vicor sees a path to increase its manufacturing capacity to at least $1.5 billion, driven by improvements in historically capacity-limiting process steps and shorter cycle times. He also addressed industry approaches to power conversion, criticizing the idea of stepping directly from 800 volts to 6 volts as "ill-conceived" and "internally inconsistent," arguing that while higher-voltage distribution offers efficiency gains, the proposed conversion step undermines those benefits. Vinciarelli emphasized that the real challenge lies in power delivery at the point of load, particularly for vertical power delivery, and noted that Vicor's proprietary technology and ongoing developments in bus conversion could raise intellectual property concerns for competitors. He also mentioned that the company's products are becoming thinner, with plans to go below 1.5 millimeters in thickness.
