Vicorは、特許取得済みの垂直電力供給技術について、大手AI機器メーカーに非独占的ライセンスを供与した。これにより同OEMは、Vicorと未ライセンスのサプライヤーの両方からVPDモジュールを調達できるようになる。この契約は、Vicorの短期的な重要触媒であるIPマネタイゼーションに影響を与える一方、ライセンス供与と権利行使の結果への依存を浮き彫りにしている。ライセンス供与の手法は、高性能AIプロセッサへの電力供給におけるラストインチ問題に対処するVicorの特許取得済みVPDアーキテクチャと相まって、ハイパースケーラーが電力供給サプライチェーンをどのように構築するかに大きく影響する可能性がある。Vicorの見通しでは、2029年までに売上高14億ドル、利益4億5380万ドルを計上し、公正価値3億8625万ドルは73%の上昇余地を示唆している。一方、最も強気なアナリストはすでに、2029年までに年間売上高成長率約48.7%と利益約4億8610万ドルを見込んでいた。同社がChiP Fab 2とFab 3を建設するためにMerrimackとHooksettで大規模用地を取得したことは、VPD契約と密接に関連している。米国内の製造拡大は、稼働率不足リスクと固定費圧力が依然として中心的な課題であるものの、モジュール需要とサプライチェーンの冗長性を支える可能性がある。
